2017 Four Continents Men FS

[nolangoh]

Lol Raf still sitting at Kiss and cry

 

[hippomoomin]

What is even more amazing is Nathan skated last and skated right after an almost perfect program.

 

[karne]

Right, I'm out. Have a dinner to get to.


Let's just say I don't agree.

 

[Yatagarasu]

I can't believe that nonsense won.

But it's an excellent wake up call.
Skaters - forget steps, forget transitions, forget artistry. None of it matters. If your fed is big enough and you nail the quads you will get the PCS anyway! Learn! If you want to win, there you have it, the recipe how.

 

[MaiKatze]

I don't link the direction this is going. Good for Nathan, but still.

 

[EdgeCall]

Don't know if I agree with this outcome. Nathan's tech content is impressive, but he looked like a high school master student struggling to get his degree. Yuzuru looked like having a bad day in the office of the company he already owns. :think:

 

[twirlingblades]

I live for Nathan's spread eagles

 

[gravy]

Nailed it! Nice skates for the medalists! Same as the GPF with 1-2 flipped. Now off to downtown SF!

 

[Li'Kitsu]

6 points PCS difference between Yuzu and Nathan? Okay, that was a funny joke. Now give me the actual scores please.

 

[DiamondDust]

Nathan beat Yuzu! but second in FS.

Only because Yuzuru missed that combo (and err that sp also had something to do with it). But nonetheless, Congratulations to Nathan Chen.

 

[sunnystars]

OH.
OH.
OH.
OH. MAH. GOD.

:eeking::eeking::eeking::shocked::shocked:

THE DRAMABOMB

 

[Krislite]

Hanyu lost this competition because of the short. If he just skates a clean SP and no more than one pop in the LP, he can still beat a clean Nathan.

 

[chairmanmao]

Does this mean Chen will be hitting 90's if he's perfect? I like him but there is no way he should be scoring over 88 with his perfect or not. I honestly thought Hanyu had done enough.

 

[gsyzf]

He won! My baby won! I wish it was a clean program but...

So proud!

I hope they are not hyping Nathan like crazy after this.

 

[KwanIsALegend]

Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Worlds is going to be INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will be and Hanyu will be in full fighting mode. Blood and guts for that worlds gold medal. Neither Chen or Hanyu want silver.

 

[da96103]

5 quad and two 3A,
Only 3Lz is allowed as the leading in one jump pass.
Mindblowing.

 

[frida80]

Nathan beat Yuzu! but second in FS.

Reverse of the GPF.

I get to hear the US anthem for the first time in a long time.

 

[StormyCloudss]

There is less than 4 points difference between Patrick and Nathan's PCS.

To put that in perspective, Patrick and Hanyu are a little under 2 points apart.

...

:taunt:

 

[liv]

nathan's pcs are quite high but we all know they suddenly go up when you hit your quads. Knew he would win.
I"m still in awe of Yuzu's skate, though. the guts at the end.... at least he won the long program and it was his short that killed him. No one can rely on mistakes from anyone.
