OMG D10 leads!!!

 

[FlattFan]

Ridiculous PCS for Javier compare to Ten, Tatsuki, and basically EVERYONE else.

 

[SGrand]

Too many errors, 0 points for the sal.

So crazy, so had he done a 2S, he would be in the lead???

 

[bartlebooth]

It's better to double a planned quad than to triple it

Javier Fernandez joins the many who falls victim to the Flag bearer curse

 

[Florencito]

Noo

 

[dress]

GO dai!!

 

[BlackPack]

Javier, I'm proud of you. The Hispanohablante world is proud of you for being the first in so many things... but alas, D10 leads... I'm happy:thumbsup:

Machida keeps getting undermarked on the PCS in relation to the other skaters.

Both his skating and his upper body movement flow beautifully, his program had quite a lot of choreographic detail and he uses his whole body to interpret the music, not just moving his arms up and down like most. He should have been way more than 0.5 ahead of Ten (who has decent basics but had an empty and generic Nichol program) on the PCS. :/

 

[s_parks]

denis still leads. what is happening. go dai, i can't have more bronze medal contenders flop.

 

[NorthernLite]

Javi: At last a more audeince-friendly program (even if it often feels he's skating the exact program Orser would have).
Darn, I missed the other issues, just saw the one double.
Of the remaining guys I like Javi/Dai and Jason. We need platinum medals at the OOOOOs.

(And ugh, my Austrian(?) feed is quite behind, but good old sportlemon is not reliable.)

 

[sky_fly20]

now only Jason can challenge Ten

 

[Chemistry66]

No, 3 combos and he doubled the 3S of the combo.

But his tripling the quad salchow screwed him up because the lone 3S later won't count.

 

[ARipp42014]

that's his 2nd two-footed landing. Maybe UR. :scratch:

 

[snowflake]

I think Judges are tough today.
Only few have happy face after watcing their score.

Or they didn't skate well enough

 

[waddup]

Common dai hang in there T_T

 

[FlattFan]

Dai lost it with the UR 4T and the second 3A.

 

[Kissx3]

So crazy, so had he done a 2S, he would be in the lead???

Base value on 2S is 1.3 so as long as he had average execution, he'd be in first.

 

[Blades of Passion]

I will NEVER understand why the hell a supposed Beatles program has a tango footwork sequence. Lori Nichol really sucks for saddling Takahashi with this program.

Also, HOLY CRAP, Jason Brown can actually win the Bronze now after all these mistakes!!!! Cmon Jason gogogogo!
