2016 Rostelecom Cup - Men FS

And now it's time to get outta here, before people begin to whine and say trashy things because this one is better, and the other bla bla, and in SC was bla, and in the other was blabla, and my favourite is being sabotage because look his PCs, and so without an end

 

[Li'Kitsu]

so Kolyada got +GOE on his messed quad toe.


what on eartth ?!!?!?!

Uno getting +1.14 on his messed 3a landing :roll9:
and +0.7 on messy quad flip landing

If the ISU wants to save money, get ride of the judges and sit some kids down there with flashy number cards they hold up after every element. Probably about as accurate, way more adorable.

he's on his home that's why

Anyway I expect Javi to do well at Worlds next years. Big chance he will surpass Chan's 2 World titles. My advice, Hanyu and Chan should start to worry about Shoma Uno who now has the TES to match and is now earning higher PCS than them for similarly flawed performances

Chan is a 3 times World champion!

Wiser words have never been spoken. Or written...or typed, however you want it.

And micro analyzing the protocol to find one score to argue for pages and judge bashing.

 

[Li'Kitsu]

I don't know how likely that is, not much I think, but I'd be thrilled. That gorgeous FS ... mmm.

But if not Jason, then who? It feels a bit like it always does with the guys, dropping like flies, and the last one standing gets it

Also, Jason would look good in the GPF

Probably still better judging than that judge who gave +2 on a messed up Kolyada quad toe.

Best post of this thread! So many snarky comments, especially towards Javier and Shoma.

I am trying not to jinx him. You are ruining my mojo He has a small chance to qualify. Tiny. Very tiny. We'll prop him up with poles if need be, as long as he ends up up-right.

He would, wouldn't he? Le sigh.

It is not that difficult for tech panel to get some slow motion of some jump, why they keep letting this kind of take off go... http://i.giphy.com/l3vR9KKBJKdv8Pw0U.gif

Congrats to the three medalists .

Also, special congrats to Max Aaron, for a short while, I thought he'd end up fourth overall, and that'd have been great for him. Well done Max .

As long as he medals at NHK he should make it. Even if Boyang wins COC a Bronze would still put Jason in over him. And i do think the podium is realistic for Jason at NHK. A silver with a high tie breaker score (his score at SA was higher than Chan's at SC) is not exactly an unlikely candidate for the GPF.

 

[chairmanmao]

My advice for you is to take math lessons. Hanyu holds the highest TES ever with 3 quads, while he added this year another 9 points BV to his FS.

Like that matters, he is going to bomb the FS anyway. His last good LP performance was at Worlds 2014 and I wasn't impress by that performance and Machida should have won the title. Its been 4 years since his R&J performance and his fans are still hoping he could replicate that again at Worlds/Olympics. Hanyu and Chan's expected level at these major competitions are their disaster skates at the Olympics and their blatantly overscored programs in WC 2013 for Chan and WC 2016 for Hanyu.

Not staying for pairs and ladies? You always have the snarkiest and funniest comments.

I would die with that little sleep

Agree how can you give a +GEO on a messed up jump? Well,sad to say that FS is based on judging and if a judge favor a skater over the other it shows:no:

I like the dark horse status Jason is in now. Gives the potential for surprises.

I think it is quite fine to critique scores especially those that are subjective in nature. A clean skate does not automatically give higher PCS scores. Fernandez lacks the run of the blade and edge quality of Chan. He is much weaker in this area. As well if you are spending much of your program on a flat edge or on two feet then it is easier to complete the elements. Ask Hanyu. He tries extremely difficult footwork but it takes a lot lout of him. Skating with quality is more difficult. So we are right to question Fernandez's scores. It helps keep the integrity of the sport of Figure Skating.

I'll take one of these poles alright! I haven't said out loud before that I think he has a good chance, I only thought it and hoped that wouldn't count for jinxing. But by now... I think he honestly has a shot. And the french would love him!

Haha this is so funny! But what can we do? Its a forum that allows for open discussion after all! And without all that drama GS wouldn't be as fun to hang out as it has had been.
