2019 World Championships Mens Short Program

[Zora]

I'm so tired of these kind of programs... everyone who tries to look artistic, picks Muse or similar music, a dip-dye shirt, skates with a serious face and lets that formula work for them.

 

[Sai Bon]

Yeah, Vincent always have huge TES, only to have it drastically dropped after reviews.

Not this time, 94.17

 

[Yuzuruu]

4Lz and 4Sal definitely UR, axel looked iffy as well.

 

[gonewiththewind25]

Vincent got higher PCS than Kevin and Matteo. Ok judges, sure.

 

[Ichatdelune]

How does Vincent Zhou have higher PCS than Kevin Aymoz is a mystery for sure

 

[satine]

Samarin doesn't have the exact spicyness to pull off this music hwell:

 

[patchris84]

When Samarin's technique does not follow ...

 

[Ichatdelune]

Samarin popped his quad lutz, well that's Russian men for you

 

[Yuzuruu]

Vincent having higher PCS than both Kevin and Matteo is seriously an outrage.

 

[Cyt150]

Vincent got higher PCS than Kevin and Matteo. Ok judges, sure.

I feel he not so good for the PCS

 

[SNAKSuyun]

... I can't shake off the feeling that Vincent is that "neighbor's kid" every Chinese parent wants their kid to be. Perpetually working hard, perpetually doing good (better than most, really), perpetually nameless to me outside of being this nice role model I'm supposed to look up to

 

[WeakAnkles]

If Samarin holds his index finger outstretched like that one more time I'm going to play ring toss with it.

 

[Kissx3]

Some real GOE gifting there if those live scores are final.

 

[GGFan]

The lutz is my favorite part of Samarin's program so that was a rough watch

 

[Ichatdelune]

Samarin doesn't have the exact spicyness to pull off this music hwell:

Samarin isn't much of a PCS skater, is he. And when the TES fails... well

 

[anonymoose_au]

Here comes Lord Samarin!

I've got a cold here though and I'm starting to lose concentration. I don't know if I can stay for that last group.

 

[Yossalu]

Samarin is so flat when the jumps aren't working. Too much of the choreography consisted of half-hearted pointing.

 

[elektra blue]

samarin, what a mess
