2017 GP Cup of China Mens SP

[Mrs. P]

Vincent has caught Ashley Wagner short program-its.

This song reminds me of slow dancing in school discos in the 80s (in a good way don't get me wrong)

Stars with a spectacular 4Lz3T and then down on everything else.... Oh Vincent.

As long as the rotation is completed before splats...

Thanks a lot, IJS.

 

[MIM]

WOW!! That 4Lz 3T was the best I have seen, and challanges Boyang's. But he fell both following jumps. His SS and spins are not the best in the field. But he is not rushing and finishes movement with patience. Wish the best in the FP. Go, Vincent!

 

[karne]

Could be UR on the lutz, definitely at least UR on the flip, and possibly dubious rotation on the Axel too.

It gives me peak Grey's Anatomy flashbacks.

 

[zanadude]

Two years ago, I never thought we'd see so many people in 2017 with a quad lutz in their arsenal.

I'm thinking that the ice is not in the best condition. Lots of scratchy landings today.

The Ladies had a very clean and tight competition just before this. But usually Mens performances go against Ladies' at the same event.

Vincent Zhou

Great 4Lz+3T(Rippon)! Fall on the 4F but fully rotated it seems. And another fall on the 3A. And the splatfest continues.

Geez, the camerawork is a hot mess... anyway, the program go into first place simply on base value. The composition and interpretation still need improvement; if he's going to do for real, he'll need more sensitivity to sell it.

 

[GGFan]

Improved skating by Vincent. He has potential for some nice lines. I don't care for that version of the song.

Yes i don't know who decided this piece considering this is the Olympic year.

Zhou, Samarin,... the most random picks for the newcomers.

Thanks a lot, IJS.

Not gonna lie...that sort of irritates me. I mean....I feel like a lot more people can do the rotations but not the landing and that's...kinda important?!

Super combo, only to fall on his other jumps...

SP: 45.66+36.57-2.00 = 80.23 (SB), 3/6

Not just a quad lutz but a quad lutz combo! Plushy should take a bow somewhere...

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Those guys just cant skate without mistakes. I need to make a drink in the middle of the day now....

 

[draqq]

Hmm... I guess never mind. Zhou must have gotten dinged on several jumps.

3rd! Behind Grant!

Plushy takes a bow only for Boyang Jin (or Kolyada when he will land it), because the others are clearly prerotating the 4ltz, including Vincent here.

 

[matcha]

I still struggle to understand how Moulin Rouge suddenly became this big skating music.

It'll stay just as prolific when the Broadway show premieres. New recordings.

Somebody could probably get the rotations for a quad axel right now, so long as they don't have to worry about actually landing it.
