2017 Four Continents Men SP

It seems like both the Kazakh men scheduled to compete, Denis Ten and Abzal Rakimgaliev, withdrew. They are not listed on the entries anymore.
 
Nathan did seem to have a massive progression in PCS as the season went on.

Finlandia: 74.86
Trophee de France: 79.36
NHK Trophy: 84.06
GPF: 84.42

I also think +GOE was pretty generous at Nationals -- but that was for everyone, not just Nathan, so that's will influence how he will score.

Well, to be fair, I think we would expect/hope that PCS improved for everyone over the course of a season. Don't we expect improvements?

The improvements in your post equal 9.56 points, or a little less than 13% improvement between Finlandia and GPF.

I don't claim to know a lot about PCS scoring, but when I watch Finlandia and compare to GPF, it is better. Is it 13% better? A topic for discussion.

I agree he made improvements, but I do think some of the PCS bump also is partially from increased consistency, which we've seen with the likes of Evgenia Medvedeva in the ladies, and a reflection of a general inflation of PCS scores in general.

The question for me, at this point, is whether we'll see him push 90+, like he did at U.S. Nationals.

With two programs of this season? Probably not; but certainly for next season if he can stabilize jumps and polish details, especially with the Olympic inflation:yay:
 
D10 out? Interesting. Well his Universiade outing was successful in terms of results but that FS was not good. It's possible he decided to fully concentrate on training for Worlds.

It is not about Finlandia to GPF as much as it is GPF to US Nats. He scored above 9 points higher there in GOEs+PCS (91) for the FS and no, that should not be happening because that program does not deserve 90+ in PCS. Not even remotely. It was Nationals though so we simply have to wait and see what happens internationally now.

So now only two men will be cut.

That is beyond cruel.

You mean seven points? To be fair every nationals over scored their athletes. Shoma got a FS score of 192 with major errors. Kaetlyn scored 138 with two falls. You can't take these scores seriously.

But I do think he will get a PCS of 88 or 89. There's always a jump in PCS when a new senior becomes consistent and another when they become a national champ.

I have been advised that for nothing in the world I miss the new movie "Star Wars on the ice" Episode 1 (The Quad Awakens). This is the synopsis ... :popcorn:

Many years after harmony in the galaxy between the power of the technical and the strength of the artistic Republic has consolidated, but a sinister organization threatens peace, the First Order of the quad has awakened in the Galactic Empire. To the usual heroes, Jedi Knights, struggling to maintain balance, Patrick Chan, Yuzuru Hanyu, Jason Brown add new heroes: Shoma Uno and Keiji Tanaka, but a new separatist movement threatens the galaxy and not even the Jedi Knights seem conjure the danger, has awakened a new power, the power of the quad captained by the relentless Sith Nathan Chen, and Boyang Jin, a Jedi knight dominated by the dark side of the 4revolution ...

The security of the universe is threatened ... Who will dominate the galaxy now? Yoda Yuzuru or Darth Chen? Chan Solo or Sidius Bo-Jin? Can the young Shoma Skywalker enter the Jedi Council? ... In the Gangneung star, the war will break out, the stability of the Republic is in danger (I suppose it refers to the Galactic Republic, not the Republic of Korea :rolleye: )

And I say... On Planet Toronto Emperor Javier Fernandez will wait to enter the scene in Episode 2, while he will enjoy from the distance of such a beautiful war ... "They should be all the wars of the world like this"

All this while the invisible Black Hole awaits heroes and villains alike, under the ice and ready to devour any one. Each and every time someone leaps off the ice, he risks falling into the merciless pull of the Black Hole Monster. :devil:

Zhenya: Can I be in this movie? I can be Princess Leia since Satoko is injured.

Director: No you can't. You are not Non-European.
 
11 pages before the event event starts.

I'm super excited for this competition the most among all other disciplines. :)
 
I see that Denis Ten is not on the list any more, but he already won the title for the event two years back and still seemed to struggle with his health, so the decision could be a wise one. I wonder when he can land 4S in competition. I hope he delivers two clean programs back to back at Worlds in Helsinki.

Here's Yuzu the Jedi knight fighting the Sith lord before he turned to the dark side :biggrin:
 

It seems that the bad guys have quad lutzes and the good guys do not. So you are right, since Yuzu have been dabbling with the dark arts of quad lutz behind his teacher's back (or front). It's only a few more competitions before he goes to the dark side.

Elsewhere in a land far far away in another continent, a distraught Australian lady named karne have summoned her children Max and Brendan to meddle with arts darker than the dark arts: QUAD AXEL. However her children are not brave enough to touch it with their bare hands. They could only have enough courage touch it with long fishing poles (harnesses).

However her children are not brave enough to touch it with their bare hands. They could only have enough courage touch it with long fishing poles (harnesses).

The meddling with the Darkest Art is, however, but a distraction, a diversion. For she is running a long-tail plan, banking on none of the so-called "Wise" to see it coming. For she knows that they will overlook her child of the sand and sea, for being from a Jedi community that is too small to count, and she knows that the corrupt US Force Squad association have been entranced by the Sith Lord Darth Chen and will not look for an attack from her child of the mountains.

Already the meddling in the Darkest Arts has paid off, for it has resurrected a Force-user so powerful, his own powers once turned against him. But revived, and with his powers now under his calm, he will be an important piece to play in her game. The US Force Squad adores him, him and his shadow, his mirror opposite, and that will leave them open to infiltration. For now, she has prepared two others of her knights to support Brendan at this great battle, two knights with opposing powers - one who will bamboozle and distract the masses with his creative uses of music energy reserved normally for communicators, and the other who will make them weep in grief and sorrow for the war that has been...and they will learn not to underestimate her continent!
