2018 Worlds Mens Free Skate

[Danny T]

90+ PCS for that is a crime lmao ... :sarcasm:

OTOH both Shoma and Kolyada medals with splats and splats. Stephen Hawking passed away and tore the fabric of the universe goddamn

 

[Warwick360]

I felt the same way. I guess he compared favorably to the others because he landed the jumps but... Just what is that PCS for? It's a thoroughly empty program...

Same. As much as I was happy that he was at his best, it just looked like a long telegraphed jumpa-thon to me. Hardly much transitions between elements. How can one justify such PCS?

Thank goodness for Nathan because coming into this thread was like

Never has this gif been more appropriate!

This competition was going so well! Then poor Boyang happened ...tragic.

 

[lady_bee]

Sorry for being shallow,
I like the guy who interviewed Nathan. He was so smooth switching two language, though I don't understand Italian at all.

LOL I had a feeling you were going to use that as the gif for those words.

 

[PinkElephants]

This whole event was an atrocity:sad21:

 

[crimsonarrow]

Wait sorry who's bronze?

 

[skylark]

omg omg omg ...... Wow :luv17: Nathan Chen. :luv17: My hero indeed. I loved him before. Now I'm in awe.

To skate like that, after that splat-fest. Just incredible. And he felt the pressure, just like everyone else did.

I am slammed, gobchucked. What a beautiful skate. And what happiness.:hap93:

 

[williewonka]

I miss Javier.

 

[schizoanalyst]

I think Misha should've gotten Silver and Shoma should've finished off the podium. I would've put Tomono or Vasiljevs in the 3rd spot.

 

[megenta]

Happy for Nathan and Raf, he's such a sweety pie

Nah. Kostner already burned the very fabric of reality when she medalled with her own splat/pop fest in the 2014 Worlds.

 

[frida80]

USFS needs to be ordering some pretty large gift baskets for him right now cause :clapper:

Max really did save the day in the end. I'm glad he had a solid performance because we would've been back to two spots without him.

 

[Interspectator]

Like the ladies...what a wild, wild competition. -But the outcome for this one is less surprising. It's how we got there.
Nathan, thanks for saving the night with a brilliant skate. Congratulations World Champion. Well deserved.

Shoma, MVP. 3 spots were retained for Japan because of you and Tomono (hooray for Tomono!) get some well needed rest!

Kolyada, not a total bombing...which is about the best one can say about the last bit of this competition.

Boyang...you broke my heart, but I'm sure we'll see you back stronger than ever. I believe.
Wow. I'm so tired. But too confused to sleep. :shocked:
One thing is certain, Nathan really brought his a-game to this World Championships. Well done.

It did seem we were in the Darkest Timeline for a while there.

 

[silverfoxes]

This whole event was an atrocity:sad21:

No, only the last group. It's a shame that there are people who only care about the 'top 6' and disregard the rest. (not saying you are doing that...just the general trend)

 

[DiamondDust]

Come on Deniss and Dima, next season you need to start getting some of that sweet inflated PCS! 6th and 7th place is fantastic though!

Well I do hope Deniss gets higher PCS.:agree:

 

[cruzceleste]

Tomono was my hero for this event

 

[Falun]

First World Championship I watched; have to say I didn't expect it to turn out the way it did. Congrats to Nathan Chen for the win.

 

[Mrs. P]

I think this competition reminds us why U.S.'s DEPTH does matter.
