2013 Worlds Men LP

[auser]

Awww, feed froze and I can't get it back, just when the final skaters are coming up.

Which feed were you watching?

 

[Jammers]

This will probably be the worst 1-2 finish for US Men in how long?

 

[karne]

Hoooray Max! Not 100% clean but still a great skate!

 

[FTnoona]

There's no way this is 170+.....

That's why I said not past Javi. I thought he would have gotten more for his TES. Especially for those jumps.

 

[FlattFan]

Max just punched his ticket to the Olympics. With ~240 combined, he can compete.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

He did win bronze at 4CC though?

And I didn't think he deserved it.

 

[Mrs. P]

And I didn't think he deserved it.

Why don't you send me a message? I'm curious why...but don't want to muck up this thread.

 

[aftertherain]

I think Takahito Mura has good 3As.

 

[FlattFan]

Mura has gorgeous jumps. So clean, so high.
Next season, he might keep both Kozuka and Oda at bay.

 

[sapphiresky]

I think Takahito Mura has good 3As.

Yeah! Loving the height and flow! And his speed across the ice...he's doing great!

Wow, great skate for Mura. Clean on all the triples.

FS: 84.50 + 76.22 = 160.72 (PB)
Tot: 234.18 (PB), in 4th (out of 18)

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Yes, but I've been predicting that Max Aaron would eventually hit the boards some time in his career on a 4Sal or 3Axel landing. He gets a lot of length on his jumps and places them right in those corners...

Would you give the second 3A positive GOE? I would, but I'm curious.

Anyway, the USA gets two slots for next year.

Mura was beautiful. Wow.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Not that there was much doubt, but the US still has 2 spots. Too bad the US doesn't have two good male skaters.

True. Max can finish no worse than 10th, Ross now worse than 15th = 25. 25<28 = two spots.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Nice skate from Mura, only one stepout and nice hydroblade

 

[FTnoona]

Good job for Mura. Much better than his first worlds. He really just pops up for his axels

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

So, if Aaron out-PCS' Mura, we can riot, yes?

 

[Art&Sport]

Not my business, But Max Aaron seems to have too short legs, or it is just the way his pants are designed?

Stop being so nasty about someone's body shape. Max obviously has short limbs and he's not tall either, but he's well-proportioned and a strong competitor with talent.

Wow, great skate for Mura. Clean on all the triples.

He's from Japan, not China!

 

[mskater93]

And a STRONG man! To be able to stay vertical hitting the boards at that speed...Geez!

 

[Olympia]

I can't get any of the skating feeds, so I'm so grateful to everyone for giving all the details. But I'm so nervous for the final group that I don't even know if I have the courage to watch the comments on this thread! I'll have to eat extra chocolate to fortify myself.
