2015 Skate Canada Mens Free Skate

[Art&Sport]

Really, I have never gotten to the point where Hanyu does anything for me. He's a great competitor with some lightning quick quads when he's on. But seriously, he's just primarily a jumper with great flow over the ice. He rarely manages to skate a clean program. I don't get all the uber love, except that he's so doll-like cute. But just too gangly and lacking in any substantive depth and artistry for my taste. He is so over-scored on PCS, it's not even funny. Stop falling and popping jumps already. His scores are always too high just because he's seen as a quad king.

I loved Dai Taka and Kozuka, and I'm entranced by young Shoma. Hanyu, I do not cheer for. You've got your Olympic gold medal. Please go away.

Look at those ridiculously over-high scores. :scowl:

For those of you who don't know, an onmyoji is sort of a traditional Japanese wizard/exorcist/cleric, who does battle with spiritual powers!

It really worked on Halloween.

Olympic season Patrick would have a good shot at gold here, but I'm not sure I can realistically see him putting up 180+ just yet.

 

[DaPurpleDino]

That was pretty good but can't be considered a success.

I like the program though. Would love to see Yuzu skating it clean.

lucky us then, we still have more competitions to see him perfect it
im sure its only going to get better (i'm crossing my fingers for a clean chopin too)

Sorry, 88 for presentation is about 10 pts too high. No choreo! Poor body form!

no choreo, excuse you?

 

[satine]

So if any of the 80's want to win this, They need to pretty much break 180.

Chan can do it if he's on

FS PB's of the remaining skaters:
Daisuke 173.61
Patrick 196.75
Adam 160.98
Nam 164.86
Michal 163.68

Jeez, that jump was Kovtun-levels of hunched.

 

[Silvia451]

If Yuzu respects the tradition from the last couple of years.. Seimei should be at its best at the GP final 200+ maybe

 

[jan]

Oh I do but when you practically run out of steam for the last 1:30 of the program the program really suffers.

 

[Gia_Sesshoumaru]

Yuzuru was great. I loved his program.

 

[sabinfire]

no choreo, excuse you?

That's the code phrase for when a program didn't fit someone's personal taste.

Maybe before his knees turned 80 years old.

 

[Princessroja]

I'm not 100% sure I can take those red skates seriously.

What? You sure you understand his music at all??

 

[daphenaxa]

This is Osipova's music <3

can someone post a streaming link quickly, please? I can't find one that works on the thread.

 

[Jammers]

Seriously Hanyu you can do those crazy quads and 3axels but you can't land a lutz?

 

[Mista Ekko]

:eeking:

Well i guess a handful of people on the planet are allowed to that opinion

 

[andyjo24]

Nice job for Hanyu, but his program was very boring, slow, and empty IMO

This one works for me.
