Not yesterday it hadn't. While you were watching, BESP had biathlon and something else, don't remember what. Earlier today there were highlights on BESP2, not the Gala. There's something marked GPF on schedule for tomorrow evening again on BESP2 though but it doesn't say Gala, not sure what it is but since they had the highlights today it might be
Well, that should come with a great UNlike button. :disagree:
I have no idea how to capture anything off my telly (except maybe use my ipad and point it at the telly screen, doh), or I'd grab it for you guys. Sorry. :-(
In the meantime, here is what the Dutch commentators had to say in the recap program about the SP and FS:
(SP) This is Yuzuru Hanyu, who came another step closer to perfection, here in the SP in Marseille. He tried a quad loop and landed it, maybe not entirely beautiful (that sounded weird even in Dutch!), but he landed it, and he finished it with a gorgeous salchow combination and a triple axel. 106.53 even, and that brings him very close to that world record of his, 110 points in the SP. Hanyu and Chan veeeeery good.
(FS) And we continue with Yuzuru Hanyu, in the lead after the SP. He skated so terrific at the NHK trophy, two weeks in his home country.
Yes, and Hanyu also goes for four quads, and he has a better presentation than Chen. And here the quad loop. Quad salchow. Oooh, he falls at the quad salchow, the second one he tried. Oh, he recaptures hiself at the quad toeloop, but he does appear to be missing some energy today. Triple axel triple toeloop. And the second triple axel, he almost stumbles there, somehow manages to add a double salchow. Opens the lutz at single. He had a very difficult time, Yuzuru Hanyu, but still jumped four quads and two triple axels, one mistake, one big mistake with that quad salchow, and for the very first time in the GP competitions, entirely clean, that loop. And here the first quad salchow, it was good. His program is much better balanced than Nathan Chen, because not all jumps after another, but the spins and step sequences are there in between [the jumps]. Triple flip here on the screen, and here it is, the second salchow, landed at troughly a quart (I guess that means three-quarters in English?), couldn’t quite manage the landing, but almost immediately afterwards he did the quad toeloop. Well, the FS by Nathan Chen was better, but he had enough of a lead, and of course the presentation. But he does lose the free skate to not only Nathan Chen, but also Shoma Uno, and that means that even Yuzuru Hanyu cannot afford to make too many mistakes, but there is space for improvement, including this jump, that double salchow should’ve been a triple instead of a double, and if he also lands the second quad salchow and doesn’t open the lutz, we may expect to see him get a lot extra points, should he skate entirely clean, we hope that, of course, at the end of the season at Worlds. Yuzuru Hanyu had enough left of his lead to win here, for the second (!!!!) time in a row he wins the Final.
