2014 Olympics Mens Free Skate

[sky_fly20]

A healthy Plushenko would have won this mess. He got a 168 with two popped jumps and not adding the 2nd quad.

Not counting the SP, yes, these 2 gold and silver medalists are the equivalent to 1992 Ladies. Messy performances.

Yes, both have big tricks
Patrick has that 4T-3T
Yuzuru has that 4T, and 3A-3T

Same with Midori and Kristy
3Lz-3T and 3A

All big elements from the top 2 in both events. Too bad they each make 2-3 mistakes. Let's hope in a few years people still love Yuzuru and Chan as much as they love Kristi and Midori now.

GO Jason... nail it... do it...

Liebers' LP seemed like 20 minutes....

I felt the same way.

 

[Florencito]

Go Jason!!! Make the podium interesting!

Why did Patrick switch coaches again?
He'sbeen worse technically since.

Does he have a jump coach, since the woman coaching him is from the dance world????

good luck to brown but i really want d10 to medal. it'll be so good for him after such a terrible season.

The pressure just got to everyone. Hanyu left that door WIDE open and I thought Patrick had it in the bag after he finished his first quad. Idk how he managed to rack up so many mistakes after.

I honestly have SO MUCH MORE admiration for Yuna Kim pulling off 2 cleans with the Olympics pressure. Idk how she did it.

Indeed!!!

And not just YuNa. That entire final six of ladies at Vancouver was fall-free, if I recall. What a night that was. And it's not as if they skated conservatively. Mao did two double axels, and YuNa's triple-triples were airborne.

Blurg.

What a mess. From both Yuzu and Chan. Today has been a struggle and as Kurt Browning said, not a clash of the titans but a battle for survival.

 

[Germanice]

Ok, both were not really convincing ...but this result is still not as bad as 2010 ... and at least Chan hasn't won!

 

[Dots]

Well he twofotted the combo at the end..there goes any chance.

 

[Chemistry66]

My heart is actually racing.

 

[Blades of Passion]

blah.

 

[waddup]

oh that was a really messy 3A3T

 

[ARipp42014]

I love you Jason but Denis is the winner of the OBM Hunger Games.

 

[FlattFan]

Over for Jason.

Double footed both 3A and 3T.

 

[millie]

OH MY.........not one clean skate.....me nerves

 

[Dots]

other mistake...he's going to fall pretty bad in the standings isn't he?

He has Eddie Shipstad as a tech coach, I believe. He's a tech spec from Skate Canada who specializes in the pole harness.
