2016 Skate Canada Men's LP

[whatif]

Only crazy Canadian fans can think that 90+ PCS for THAT was reasonable. LOL.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Is this the one that ends with

Yes I can, No you can't
Yes I can, No you can't.

Annie get your gun.

 

[TheGrandSophy]

Oh, Mura... sigh

 

[SarahSynchro]

...and Mura outdoes them both

He can be Pop-n-Splatz.

 

[xibsuarz]

Mura needs something between the jumps if he wants to go to Worlds.

Well, I'm not sure who else could fight that 3rd spot, Murakami perhaps if he's not injured?

 

[Sackie]

Do not see a big difference between Ashley winning last week with a big lead after the short and Chan here! Yet such things are OK when they happen at SA!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That program seemed very empty to me... lots of crossovers! He really needs to work on his refinement, lines, etc.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Yassss!!!!!

Before people go crazy, let's remember Chan had an 11-point lead and his program even with the doubles was just so superior. And Hanyu got two downgrades, tripled a quad, and doubled a quad over the course of the competition.

Chan also only got 91 PCS which is pretty reasonable.

Only 91 PCS? He wuzrobbed. Such wonderful unmatched skating, interpretation, and performance deserve much higher marks.

Tanaka, maybe? :scratch: Or Yamamoto once he recovers?

 

[NAOTMAA]

Mura's program needed some dramatic hair grabbing in it, the music called for it with all its dramatic angst Why else have hair like that and not use it? :cool14:

 

[Rissa]

Holy crap, Mura. Owwww.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

I expected that, Yuzuru deserved to be ahead in the FS, but Chan had the SP cushion.

This is the thing to remember. Both were PCS overscored in the SP, but I would say the judges got the PCS right in the LP with Chan scoring about 3 points higher than Hanyu. If you compare the actual programs themselves, it's pretty apparent that difference is about right.

 

[Lota]

No Mura, this is not how you jump

I did like his program in general though (war-horses4life indeed), shame about no podium...

 

[Leonardo]

Well, I'm not sure who else could fight that 3rd spot, Murakami perhaps if he's not injured?

Sota Yamamoto.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Mura needs something between the jumps if he wants to go to Worlds.

Mura needs to not fall if he wants to go to Worlds

Mura...

 

[Nathan13]

WOW 8th place didn't see that coming

 

[SarahSynchro]

Is this the one that ends with

Yes I can, No you can't
Yes I can, No you can't.

But of course.

 

[4everchan]

KEVIN for a bronze MEDAL!!! that makes me so happy!!!!!

That is soooo 2012

If Hanyu made only half of the mistakes yesterday and got about 87-88 points then he would won the competition easily over Chan. It's a shame, it really seems like he's got not good luck at Skate Canada.
