2015 Skate Canada Mens Free Skate

but who cares really? it's not a race of who got his 3Lz the earliest... what matters is who gets it at the competition
Did Patrick have the same level of technical ability, incredible spins, and emotional commitment at 14 like Yuzu? No. You've only mentioned skating skills. I mean, there are parts of skating that aren't subjective to the viewer. Lol Patrick fans have to accept that while he's great now, he's NOT a prodigy.

The point is that everyone is comparing Yuzu, who is 20, to Patrick, who is 24. Of course he's still developing. He's only 20.
 
LMAO is that Mishin???

He's such a respectful boy, major kudos. No arrogance even to his main competitor who he always compliments and even looks up to.

Now if only some people on this forum could do the same.....but I guess its a rare quality otherwise we'd have world peace. ;)

Omg... This felt like a skywalker/yoda moment... Such glorious respect! :rock:
 
some people say that Chan at 24 is too old... and you don't know what will happen with yuzu... it's not guaranteed that a skater will get better and better and better with age.. look at michal... he is 25... and he is not as good as a couple years ago... age is irrelevant

When he is caught on fan-cam greeting other coaches, he is always bowing deeply. Very respectful, he did that to Brian's old coach too.

At 1:15, you can see Yuzuru was warming up and he saw Doug Leigh, Brian Orser's former coach, so Yuzuru ran (like a little penguin:rofl:) to the old coach and bowed to him. How sweet!
I wonder what's Mr. Leigh thought of him? Like "what, Brian is coaching penguin now?" :laugh2:

well, there aren't many men who have done so.... all nations ... i can think of Kevin... did Javier do it? maybe Tim Goebel? who has this info and is willing to share it?

Javier has done it (Euros 2013), I think perhaps Maxim? Boyang, I assume? :shrug:

I didn't bring it up, others did. Lol
 
all i seem to remember is Kevin doing 5 quads in one competition... and also being the first one to do 2 in the short... missing him a lot... but it does make sense that kovtun and Jin would... and also fernandez.... someone is supposed to come up with the info. :) i wonder why they aren't because usually we get so many stats from GS members :)

Some skaters are like fine wines and get better with age. Other skaters are like Coca Cola. Delicious and refreshing fresh out of the bottle, but start to get flat and lose their fizz over time.

(I don't really mean this or any offense to skaters who have age-related struggles. It's the middle of the night, I can't sleep, and this age argument is silly ;)).
 
awesome!!!

Hm...a little puzzled at everyone who doesn't like Hanyu's FS. I think it is super original, a bit avant-garde and very well suited to Hanyu. The arm movements were faithful to the source material, and the Ina Bauer was choreographed perfectly to the music. Perhaps people don't get it bc it's traditional Japanese (like truly Japanese, not Americanized Japanese ala Memoirs of a Geisha)?

OH, I love Yuzu's FP and SP. His FP is very unique and beautiful, so does Patrick's. I guess the point of competition has been long shifted from music choice/choreography(all proved to be great) to execution and performance.
