2017 Four Continents Men FS

[Eislauf]

Impressed with Nathan! Skating like that after Yuzu's performance. No doubt he heard Yuzu's applause and score.

Nathan skates with real verve, dynamism, excitement and machismo. It's refreshing after a night of many snoozy, lyrical programs.

 

[Mrs. P]

Nathan's K&C interview was really nice.

 

[noskates]

Nathan won this competition hands down. What a performance. Worlds is going to be bonkers. I'm so happy for Nathan.

 

[peese]

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


Let's just say I don't agree.

Nothing new! You rarely do...

 

[twirlingblades]

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.

You can't wait 5 minutes to be bitter? My god.

 

[Krislite]

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

I'm impressed he didn't totally crumble skating last after Hanyu's near perfect free. The US finally has at least one skater who can withstand pressure and not melt randomly at big events.

The same three guys from GPF.

Not a fluke for Nathan and Shoma.

 

[Puchi]

NA THAAAN!!!!


:hap93:

How on earth did Shoma get 91 for PCS with two falls? I mean when we look at the others, Chan get 92, Hanyu 94, Chen 88, Jin 77, Yan 78. Is Shoma with a bad skate really so close to Chan and that much better than Chen, Jin and Yan? Are the judges on crack?

 

[twirlingblades]

Yuzu popped 1/3 jumping passes in the short. Short and long both matter. He didn't pop that, he wins. Sorry.

 

[peese]

You can't wait 5 minutes to be bitter? My god.

I agree! Yuzuru didn't win so wah wah wah!

 

[lady_bee]

Congrats Nathan, Yuzuru, Shoma
All of you are on the top of my favorites list, so I am more than happy!
Also, I am relieved that it seems none of you has peaked yet.

topic:Nathan always reminds me my father in old photo when he was very young.

 

[sabinfire]

So Nathan Chen for Olympic gold, amirite?

 

[4everchan]

Nothing new! You rarely do...

 

[KwanIsALegend]

Phil Hersch is probably giddy with delight right now.

 

[da96103]

Though all three skates had tiny mistakes, but the podium was right.

Nathan had two turnouts in FS.
Yuzu did some medium mistakes, missing combos and popping quads.
Shoma fell on two triple axels.

 

[eta]

Bitter? I suppose you would think so, if you thought that skate deserved 88 pcs. Heh.

 

[frida80]

No Yuna?

 

[StitchMonkey]

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

The hype started long ago.

I'm impressed too. Tbh, before the LP, I wasn't sure if he could skate well after Hanyu. Most skaters bomb skating after Hanyu.
