2017 GP Cup of China Mens FS

Will Kolyada be the new European Champion next year?


He has the talent for sure, but I am not ready to give up on Javi. It was a bad competition but he showed great form in the beginning of the season, so I try to remain optimistic.
 
what a disaster for javi
he could have easily won this

but who knows. dont going to grand prix final may be an advantage also

he surely is also affected by orsers health problems!

Yes, they really need him. Perhaps Daleman would have skated better with him around too.
 
Javier did terribly during the last Olympic season after medaling at Worlds and missed the GPF too; he was back in the mix by Euros and the Olympics. I wouldn't count him out.
 
I'm so sad for Javi. What on earth happened?? I can't believe we won't see him in the final...maybe it will be a blessing in disguise more time to train for Olympics? #tryingtostaypositive
 
4th place for Vincent at his GP senior debut! Just like Nathan last season. I don't know why people are automatically assuming that Vincent won't make the team he's got one more Grand Prix assignment left the same as Max and Nathan and plus they still got us National so nothing set in stone yet. Congrats to Max.
 
Cup of China strikes again. What happened with a Javi was tragic. Boyang peaks late, so I’m not worried about him. Kolyada looks good for the GPF, now that Javi and Patrick are out. But seriously, this is Boyang’s 3rd silver in the CoC. At this rate he’ll be a perentual silver medalist in his own country’s GP.

Congrats to Max for his bronze and winning the free skate.

He's trying to copy Yuzuru with Skate Canada.
 
I wonder if Javi might pull out of his second GP assignment to train like Patrick.
 
Seriously the abnormal amount of PCS for Kolyada is freaking me out as well as that TES for that many pops. ISU need to investigate into the judging or it'll be Sochi for the men this Olympic. It's not just home cooking Russian. They're going to be everywhere this season!
 
Yes, I would not make much of GP season this year. Javier will be in good shape by Olys, so will Chan and Ten. But it does make it more intriguing if Kolyada, Chen, Jin and the rest are less of underdogs going into the main event of the season.

Who will take Patrick's spot? Brown or Aaron
 
Really impressive really? Eurosport guys? I just can't get with the Elvis program (Construction and the artistic credibility of the program is more important to me, more than the skaters)

Max is more impressive today than all the guys. Personal breakthroughs, personal bests etc... Very impressive, even his very non POTO costume is impressive and shows confidence.

What impressed me today is actually HanYan's FS program. Mature, soulful, moody, he have developed a real 'flavour' to it which I find it quite interesting. Up the Quads and improve on the stamina, and he should be running again. These are good contemporary programs with no silly jokey bits I wanted him to have all these years.

Vincent also impressed me today. Showed he has grit and determination for a comeback after a disaster. Yes, he has a lot to work on, but it is the very good base foundation to work from. Over 100+ tech, highest of the day among this calibre of skaters is nothing to be scoffed at.
