Even with his SP lead, I'm expecting a huge fan outcry if Chan is allowed to win with that level of skating given how Takahashi performed.

 

[Face2Mac]

Wow..maybe Dai can win this but I know how they score Chan.

he had a 10 cushion lead, he could've skated, read a book in the middle of the ice and still wouldve won.

 

[aniela]

173. it's a joke

 

[cjsk8fan]

And why not a season's best for a subpar performance..

 

[LaLola]

This is Zhenya's music. All the time it plays I cannot help but think & picture him and his exquisite 2009/2010 Olympic SP.

Back to Chan, messy performance per usual. Two foot on opening quad, hand down on second, twofoot on tacked on triple, fall on another triple. But more than enough to win b/c Daisuke was too far behind in the SP.

Chan is beatable, but nobody competing today has it in them to skate clean and kick some tail. EXCEPT Zhenya, of course, except Zhenya.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but who is Zhenya?

 

[christinaskater]

Disappointed with the judging again!

 

[burntBREAD]

Oh. I was expecting him to win due to the SP lead, yes, but I wasn't expecting him to win the LP. Maybe his high base value saved him.

 

[FTnoona]

I don't remember Skate Canada but was this performance better or worse?

 

[MK's Winter]

This is going to be pretty close. Chan had a pretty good lead he may win, although I hope that Dai does!

 

[MrScroogeMcDuck]

That score is ridiculous. Shame on them.

 

[lavender]

I think of Takashi Honda program when Chan skates this. Love Honda's version.

 

[aniela]

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but who is Zhenya?

[cjsk8fan]

Me too, I expected him to win but he did not deserve that score.

 

[christinaskater]

I was expecting PChan to win but not like this! He does not deserve a SB with a really sub par performance.

 

[museksk8r]

This cannot be called a sport anymore. A hoax maybe, but not a sport.

 

[LaLola]

Thanks.:

 

[christinaskater]

Ridiculous judging indeed!

 

[beep_beep]

Why do I even bother??

Chan's skating is beautiful, but this overscore even when he has a bunch of errors is just

 

[Spun Silver]

I guess Daisuke lost it in the SP. Shame.

I loved the way Patrick interpreted his program, yet this was far from dazzling.

I'm heartsick for Jeremy. That would have been utterly magnificent without the falls. Who would think this corny young man would be such a great artist?

Overall, though, what a great competition. So much talent and so many "wow" moments. Way to go, guys!

 

[Becki]

I am disappointed with the results, I don't think Patrick deserved his score...and to win actually. But oh well, based on the scoring system alone, Patrick would definitely get more than 162.....so it was his crown to lose tonight. *sigh* But everyone skated very well! I am proud of every single skater
