[Lutzedge]

Missed the quad lutz.

I would also recommend scheduling a therapy appointment tomorrow

I’m going to pick a more fun hobby. Like lying in various fire ant hills or getting repeatedly stung by jellyfish.

 

[LadyB]

I totally love that second part!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I like this program more seeing him skate well with it. I still love the Lacrimosa section, but GOODNESS ME is that second music cut AWFUL.

A convincing victory from Chen!

Easy win for Nathan, it's easy to beat a man with no quad and a fall on a triple axel ...

 

[Kathy1]

Not the best skate (and perhaps program), but Chen saves the day and I am happy there will be no suspense whether he qualifies for the GPF.

 

[kmw227]

Oh thank god Nathan uncursed the ice!

Now time to go forget this event ever happened.

 

[cathlen]

Eh, not a fan of program, but Nathan is in a eague on his own here.

 

[EdgeCall]

Well done Nathan. Not completely clean either, but given the standards of the day ...

 

[anonymoose_au]

Is everyone else's stream OK? Mine just died?!

 

[magictodo]

Just noticed that Nathan's step sequence has an awful lot of two-foot skating.

 

[lariko]

Great to see Chen doing Chen.

I am going for a walk, grats Semenenko on the bronze, and too bad Ignatov fell on that beautiful 4Lo.

Jesus, he is really incredible.

 

[Jontor]

No match for Nathan!! He clearly was in a league of his own here.

 

[Makkachin]

Good job Nathan!! I really like this program, I think it suits him

 

[Silvia451]

I love the first part of the program, but the music in the second does not work for me at all.

 

[4everchan]

finally ! thank you Nathan !

 

[s_parks]

Look, all respect to his talent and competitive steel, but it always looks to me he only remembers he has a program during his stsq. I guess it's a sticky spot when you honestly need that many quads to win it all.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I'm going to head out now, before this thread gets too nasty
Great job Nathan, Jason, and Zhenya Semenenko! Surprise bronze medalist but well deserved!
