2013 Worlds Men LP

:disagree:
How was Denis lucky? He pretty much had the skates of his life and still didn't beat a mistake-riddled Patrick. He had the 2nd highest TES of the night with only one quad. I was pleasantly surprised he was so close though, I was afraid he was going to be held down on PCS.
Agree with this, so that at least I might be able to watch one of my favorite sports on TV again.

If only Ten had completed that Triple Flip . . .
Hanyu was 4th. Very proud of him given his conditions!!
He fought for every single point.

Lol I agree! Seriously though, someone should contest this, that's the only way for the ISU to take note that skaters aren't going to take crap from the judges. I think The GS Forum should start a revolution and over throw the ISU...

Protocols
Chan's first two elements got him nearly thirty points! Quads matter, and when you can get almost straight +3's for them.... well, you have leeway. Thankfully, and rarely for the man, he got straight -3's for his two elements with falls. The judges could've been stricter with the GOEs in general, and should have been (probably) - especially for his spins.
Ten's protocols make lovely reading. No negative GOES. Two judges giving him 9's across the board (generous, but still pleasant). Absolutely shellacked Chan on GOEs (rightfully, of course) and was very close on PCS. Just not close enough (or more accurately, Chan's PCS should've really been low 8s, behind Fernandez, Ten and Takahashi).
Hanyu had high base value and solid GOEs
Fernandez had VERY low base value (70 points) but astonishing GOE kept him in the game. I truly believe he'll be the one to challenge Chan next year.
One judge scored Aaron in the mid 8s. Hilarious.
Good for Rogozine to have a top ten LP and for 13th overall. Strange to think that if Reynolds was gone and Rogozine 12th, it would've been enough to keep three spots.

Oh please, Patrick. You're a nice guy, but pleeze, you've had too many gifts given already for your SS, while imitating a Zamboni. It's not against Canadians at all, but maybe if they'd hyped you less, and the judges had gifted you less, you might have been hungrier and steadier to just put it out here and be worthy of being a three-time World champion. In fact, you should only be a two-time World champion: 2009 (if you'd kept your mouth shut), and 2011 where you took no prisoners and skated fabulously. In 2012, you did not deserve to win. Even less so at these championships.
I hope you just find some home-cooking at the Cricket club and keep away from Detroit, although I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms, as will everyone back in Colorado. It's Denis Ten who saved this men's competition from utter craptastic boredom.
Yay to Denis Ten!!!

Or just use video analyzing software to score the TES portion.

I'm gonna argue that 2012 was more fractious. Takahashi has more fans than Ten, and seems a more credible world champion. Additionally, Chan skated poorly in both segments really, whereas here he had a strong short program. Additionally, at least Chan lost the LP this year. He didn't in 2012, when it was obvious to all he deserved to.
imo, of course. Both victories were poor.
