2015 World Junior Championships Mens Free Skate March 7

[Sam-Skwantch]

Does anyone have a stream that is not the ISU one?

I live in the U.S., and the ISU stream doesn't work.

Thanks!

This is the only other link I've seen and its not showing skating. Maybe if you poke around their site you can find an alternate link. I don't understand the language though. GL

For those interested, Deniss' previous PB scores were all from last Junior Worlds, where he scored 62.50+126.83=189.33

Didn't Estonian TV show a bunch of stuff a few days ago? Or maybe they're only showing the events with Estonian skaters? :scratch: Go Nathan Chen!

Does it take long to download?

Thanks a lot for your help!

No it doesn't at all!

Problems with both quads, but otherwise strong with 6 triples in 2nd half

FS: 74.76+69.22 = 143.98 (SB), 213.85 (SB), 1st (out of 15)

I found that a bit lacking. I'm not sure. Like, there wasn't much personality in that.

 

[ArcticMonkeys]

Nathan is just so talented!

I hope his TES won't drop and he will move up.

 

[Interspectator]

Interesting, quad, but no 3A

 

[Sandpiper]

Nathan certainly doesn't lack for courage, with those two quads... A little underwhelmed by everything outside the jumps--he was very good, but maybe I was expecting a little more.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Let's just hope he's fine... and that he isn't scaring me on all of his jumps, like at nationals...

 

[yyyskate]

oh nathan

 

[silverfoxes]

I found that a bit lacking. I'm not sure. Like, there wasn't much personality in that.

That's how I feel about him in general...he doesn't project at all, everything is kind of by the numbers.

I prefer Andrew :thumbsup:

Though some can last longer. Chusovitina, anyone? (And in this quad, Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman are back, Kyla Ross never took a break, McKayla Maroney is trying to get back from injury...onky Jordyn Wieber of the US 2012 team retired.)

On FS: Margalik will be at least 12th good for him!

But Chusovitina only does vault. If a gymnast comes from a country with deep field like USA or China, chance of going to the second Olympics is almost 0. I remember Mustafina's coach said that everything a gymnast at the age of 18 is concerned about is how to preserve her skill set. You don't see that in skating.

Back to the topic, I think Nathan did it better at his first JGP event this season. He looked underwhelmed and his movements are less sharp and precise today.

[cheerknithanson]

213 points though! ALRIGHT!

 

[Matilda]

I love Deniss! Great presence and that final spin was badass

You can tell Nathan isn't at his best--still a pretty good skate.

 

[yyyskate]

nathan is tired, that's it, but he did his best!

 

[yyyskate]

coach and nathan not happy about score, why?

 

[Jammers]

This kids skating skills are sublime.

Back to the topic, I stayed up late just to watch Nathan and it's well worth it

Chusovitna seem to be an awesome exception.... anyone else who was at a high level for more than 2 quads? (Mustafina? Or not... I do really like her, so...)
