[Metis]

Boyang has definitely lost his 4Lutz

Might be checked on a flight arriving later.

Gold Peppa Pig for Boyang!

I just can't with rocking out to While My Guitar Gently Weeps . I wish they'd gone with another song. But that's not his fault. He still performs it pretty well.

It is better when Brezina does it to "Thunderstruck" IMHO.

Poor Jin though. He seems like a slow starter.

Boyang :sad21:

I still don't understand why he stayed so long on that LBO edge? Then he got too close to the boards and hesitated the take-off noooo

 

[champagnerain]

At least he narrowly avoided smashing into the boards this time!

 

[IlVoloFan]

Just Jason blew the competition away

 

[ruffledgrouse]

WANTED: This bear in relation to an attack on figure skater Boyang Jin. Do not approach, is considered (bear) armed and dangerous

 

[Noxchild]

I'm not sad about Nathan's fall at all... nope... :sad21:

..Don't know how I feel about Jason leading by that much with a quadless program.

Well, jumps are only a fraction of the score and sloppiness shouldn't be rewarded over well-executed elements that cover every aspect of skating (not just the jumps though Jason's were extremely well done) including spins, steps, and skating skills, so I feel pretty good about it.

And OUCH, Jin got hammered on that score, but hey...them's the breaks.

 

[IloveFS]

Good for Jason for going clean, but a program with no quads should not beat a program that had two quads! Talk about over scored. At this point, it's better for Aliev to just stick with triples, if the judges are going to award quadless programs with SP scores over 90!

 

[Ophelia]

Why is Boyang still skating so close to the boards?

He should've taken the offer to go training with Orser.

 

[LaArdilla]

I just turned in and what do I see? Jason in the lead and Nathan in third? This GP series is the gift that keeps giving, the most unpredictable things happen!

..Don't know how I feel about Jason leading by that much with a quadless program.

I feel fantastic over it, I'd rather see a masterpiece of a program with well executed triples than jerky looking quad landings.

 

[TT_Fin]

Boyang needs just bigger arena. It often seems the his is surprised by the border.

It's the start of the season. Let's not say something so awful.

 

[Noxchild]

Do folks actually know why Boyang gets so disturbingly close to the boards consistently? Bc it's so dangerous and bizarre... whyy...

 

[champagnerain]

Wait, is Kevin in the final flight tomorrow?!

Trains in a bigger rink, maybe?

 

[s_parks]

I hope he has a better day tomorrow, probably not easy getting to France from China then skating the day after...
I have such a soft spot for Boyang because his technique is so textbook, very few people do it right.
That said... I can't agree with the pcs for him or samarin, too high.
