Is Carruthers broadcasting on IceNetwork?
Yeah don't agree with those pcs for Javi but oh well. Not sure I'm liking the scoring overall.
he's on "universal sports"...
Well....to be fair, he's not the only one who gets PCS quad bonus.
On Universal sports tv then, not online.
Congs to all medalists! Although no clean LP, a bit disappointing.
Not wanting to bash the Chan, I like him and everything - but he did crash completely on his first Quad Toe, do I remember that correctly? Because he somehow got two -1 among the -3s.
I need a CoP seminar update, really, how many mistakes did Takahashi make to get 153? Chan stepped out, had iffy landings, and fell as well as Dai. Javi had his mistakes as well. ANd dont tell me they did a quad!I would be probably the puzzled goof in the audience if I was there.
Second this. Maybe having a Canadian coach helps?I don't get Javier's PCS. I like the guy's skating and all to a point. But his basic skating is so deficient in comparison to the likes of Chan and Takahashi, which should be quite obvious since they skated in a row. And his artistry and other intangibles, while significant, are certainly not even up there with the likes of Rippon and possibly Ten. That PCS for him is a bit crazy. Also, Javier's posture got droopier as the program went on. Not that posture has ever been a consideration in PCS, it seems.
If Javier can do two different quads so easily, he probably should try 3 or even 4 quads next time. Then he might have to chance to beat Chan.
yes but that I dont get it in Cop. Generally speaking, how would the judges intend to give +2 for an element that they dont know how it would come of even if the skater landed it, he might have had a step out, hand down etc etc etc..I mean what is the hypothetical +2 for?Yes, but that's fine. The rules state that the GOE for a fall on an element must be negative, and you are to deduct three. So if the quad was landed and the judges were going to give +2, a fall on that same quad is a -1. Most judges just tend to give the -3 though.
Some random Spaniard just got pretty close. Plus you can go through the Skate-Canada archives of the last few years - and there you can read what you just said over and over again. Once or twice I also said that two years ago. But it never really turned out that was, other than last season when he started to complete these insanely perfect programs.At this rate, no one has a "chance" to beat Mr. lucky blades Chan.
