Poor grant Hopefully he'll have a strong nationals showing and get himself to four continents

4Lz 3T rippon, clean.

 

[auser]

There are some lovely artistic elements to Grants skating. Wish he was skating to more inspiring music than tired Moulin Rouge and POTO

 

[silverfoxes]

The music going from terrible to worse. Eek.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh man...not the vocals...

But five quads planned! Yikes! Good luck Vincent!

 

[xeyra]

SE sequences always make me

 

[OS]

How many quad lutz in this FS event? Seems insane.

 

[Shayuki]

Some skaters really need someone to save themselves from their music choices. Without singing or voiceovers this would probably be quite enjoyable, but ughhhhh...

 

[Warwick360]

The music going from terrible to worse. Eek.

I don't think it's the music itself. Vincent seems not mature enough yet for the music. For me, he seems to Nathan, what Kovtun used to be to Hanyu. Can do the same set of jumps, but the program and the quality of the jumps itself seem contrastingly lacking. :/

 

[plushyfan]

Vincent! congrats! :luv17: I'm so proud of myself! I saw him live at JWCH Debrecen and I liked him so much then!

 

[xeyra]

Look at that TES.

Edit: And then look at how it drops....

 

[nocturnalis]

Finished the essay I was working on... at literally the time I have to wake up for my Saturday morning class.

 

[GGFan]

Some great jumps and improvement from Vincent. I just think it's a bad program with boring choreography. Looking forward to his next quad.

 

[rollerblade]

Btw, anyone know what that jump is called when a skater jumps with both legs stretched forward? It's not a split jump, but something close?

Split falling leaf? The Stag jump?

 

[Interspectator]

Wow...amazing TES. But some of those jumps looked UR?

 

[da96103]

TES on screen 110.28
4 quads landed, one quad fall.

Agree 100%. Crazy technical content but the quality at the moment is really low compared to Nathan's or any of the other quadsters

 

[Mista Ekko]

Very ambitious program from Vincent, Though he mostly just jumps and spread eagles

I think we might be saying goodbye to presenting Jason brown's beautiful skating in the Olympics

 

[HanDomi]

TES dropping like stone

Vincent Zhou

Solid 4Lz+3T(Rippon). Good attempt on 4F (might be <). Fall on attempted 4S. 4Lz with a stumble out. Fine 3A. Good 4S+2T. Mediocre 3Lo. Touch down of other foot with 3Lz+1Lo+3F combination.

TES should stay high enough for him to vault into 1st place. Not sure on some of those rotations, though. Certainly needs to work on his composition and interpretation - with all those quads, there is a lot of simple skating in the transitions and not as much speed.
