2017 GP Cup of China Mens SP

[gravy]

Those poses after his flying upright spin is just copied and pasted from his Satan Takes a Holiday short.

David Wilson, stop phoning it in!

Gee, I guess the visa problems and whatnot got to Javi a bit.

(Why would he have visa problems anyway? I mean...don't they know who he is ?!)

 

[Bumdid]

This program's too boring for Javi. He should go back to his Black Betty or Malaguena program instead

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Just in time!

....to see the end of Javi's program. I guess I did the time conversion wrong. Oh well, anyone I should go back and watch?

 

[Mista Ekko]

Javi really needed to be good here
in the home field of Jin and with Kolyada arriving majorly

Hopefully he stays on the podium with the free and doesn't make it too hard for himself to qualify for GPF

Now I KNOW it's an alternative universe...when the cleanest programs come from Keiji and Kolyada.

Haha the Grand Prix is funny sometimes.

 

[zanadude]

Fernandez < Tanaka!?

 

[TMC]

2 clean programmes out of 12? Yeah, I'm probably gonna skip the Olympics

 

[NoNameFace]

Kolyada will be leading for the SP. No way Javi can get 100 above with that.

judges are always up to this challenge...

famous: 'hold up my beer'

Watch Kolyada. :yes:

100% agree.

 

[bixby]

Javier's choreography is getting a little bit OLD and BORING. DATED!

So CORNY to me now.

 

[Roast Toast]

This is such a cheesy program but I love it for some reason.

Javier Fernandez

Only a 3T+2T combo. Clean 4S to follow. Step-out in 3A. But better spins than usual and very strong footwork. Just sad that he tacked on that 2T instead of perhaps tacking the 3T on the 4S instead.

Fernandez's interpretative skill to this Chaplin is world-class and might just be the best in the world today. Might still be in the 90s with the PCS added.

OMG, I would love to see Black Betty again, that was the program that made me a Javi fan, it was brilliant! And the only program of that season with vocals in it I liked!

PCS lower than his mess at cup of russia LOL

If he had done this at Russia, would have been World Record.

 

[Lester]

A shame for the technical errors, but otherwise Javi skates this program beautifully.

 

[GGFan]

Pretty blah Javi program. He's trying to give me Browing Casablanca, but it's not quite working here.

 

[karne]

If he had done this at Russia, would have been World Record.

Honestly, it was that great, I wouldn't have objected...

...okay, okay, not too much.
