2012 GPF Men's Free Skate LP

[draqq]

Patrick Chan

Fall on opening 4T. Much better on 2nd 4T (will get combo penalty, though). Great 3Lz. Touch down on 3A. Good 3Lo. Good 3Lz+2T (no 3T, though). Good 3F+1Lo+3S in the second half of the program. Ouch, big mistake on the 2A+2T. THAT WILL NOT COUNT! He might be in third after this...

FS 169.39
Total 258.66 (2nd)

Good judging!

 

[FSGMT]

Chan: That 2A+2T will receive 0 value, it was the fourth combo!!

I like this program, but it's not as technically strong as Fernandez and Hanyu. Will his PCS be enough to hold him up?

 

[wallylutz]

No, Chan just did his 4th combo, the 2A will be voided!

 

[starryxskies]

Was it just me was Patrick off his music again?

 

[FSGMT]

169 is almost impossible now: one fall, one step-out, one zayak combo...

 

[evangeline]

Beautiful program from Chan, but those errors are going to cost him dearly. And they do....into 2nd behind Hanyu (!)

Chan

Oh no, the Chan-flation crowd is gonna have a field day.

 

[Ilvskating]

Why Patrick didn't add a 2T to the second 4T? even a 1T would do the job. So stupid. I guess he was scared by the 4T 1T in the SP in last competition, but this is LP. Go learn the rules or better get a coach please.

 

[pitterpatter]

Wow, it actually very nearly did beat Hanyu

EDIT: nvm... blaming it on the lack of sleep...

 

[museksk8r]

Wow, it actually very nearly did beat Hanyu

Chan is behind Hanyu by nearly 6 points.

 

[sky_fly20]

Javier deserved the Bronze
90+ pcs for Chan :disapp:

 

[FSGMT]

This will be close: he did three mistakes, like Chan, but he had two 3As, when Patrick just one... :think: However, I still don't get this program, it doesn't work for me

Some messy landings. He's got a lead, so it might be enough to keep him ahead.

 

[evangeline]

I don't think it'll be enough to beat Hanyu......

Daisuke Takahashi

Fall on opening 4T. Got the 4T+3T to lady screams. Turn-out of 3A. Sloppy 3A+2T. Good 3Lo. Good transition into 3S. Good 3Lz+2T+2Lo. Good 3F. The second half of the program might redeem him, but the content isn't that high. I still don't think the dramatic music is best suited for his charismatic style.

The base value of his technical content and his lead from the short will likely save Daisuke and put him into first place.

Chan is behind Hanyu by nearly 6 points.

Duly noted. Saw the diff between Fernandez and Chan's scores and for some reason thought it was btwn him and Hanyu
