Men's SP

[TNT2012]

Did he do his quad? (Does he still have it?)

He attempted the quad toe - ur turn out

And who is that severe looking white guy who stands by the gate where the skaters go to the K&C?

He tried a 4+2 combo. Didn't fall, but it wasn't nice.

Can someone tell me how is it that Dennis Ten took over the lead with such a faulty program? I know he is a good skater but not that SP.

where are you watching it, IN?

One reason is probably that he is in one of the later groups. He also has good skating skills, very decent spins (in contrast to Gao).

You can't forget either that there are powerful people behind him. Tarasova is involved, his coach is quite famous...

 

[Hsuhs]

Someone with a clean 3A finally?

I'm watching it here:

Wow, Kazakhstan! I like this guy's disco-Carmina Burana. I like his style. Nice footwork and spins.

ETA: Wow, Jeremy Ten. What a great program for him. He must have a blast with all those matador touches and that fierce footwork. He looks so young! He'll go into first, I think.

 

[Hsuhs]

god bless that generosity

Jeremy Ten 66.60. Well, then I can officially predict that Chan will crack the 90 points tonight.

How about a 100?

How about a 100?

Quite possible. They might mistake his Triple Flip for a Quad Flip. Plus give him +3 on everything he does, and about 45 for PCS...

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

Well, Jeremy now leads and rightly so. But Dennis, I would put somewhere around 8th, and that other Kaz skater should be somewhere near 12th. JMO

@ the gross over-scoring of all the Canadian skaters in all disciplines.

 

[merrybari]

Random thought. Does anyone else find it odd that the house lights are down with just the ice lit?

(Can you tell I'm rather bored waiting for the next group to start?)

 

[Hsuhs]

Flying pigs!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Nothing like the homecountry skaters.

 

[Medusa]

And go everyone, but especially KOZUKA!

 

[Tonichelle]

maybe they're giving the big scores now so they won't have to the next time the competition hits Vancouver

it will all even out in the end.

 

[amateur]

Whew! just arrived home in time for the big 2 groups... I'll try some PbP as I watch.

2nd last group now on ice...

4CC was always quite overscored, moreso than Europeans. I remember that Buttle's (flawed) short program at 4CC last year got more points than his perfect short program at Worlds.

Same goes for Lysacek, all his personal bests are from 4CC - as if it's his best competition.
