2016 Skate Canada Men's LP

[100yen]

Potato King gets another potato medal!

Someone please explain the potato king to me, please.

 

[gravy]

The men's competition as a whole was pretty terrible. Uninspiring programs.

 

[Nathan13]

My predictions are toast.

I think I got 30 (I took a chance and gave Kevin 4th) and I'm actually thrilled

 

[NAOTMAA]

Before the endless pages and long essays about overmarking occur lets just all agree both Hanyu and Chan were grossly overmarked with what they put on ice and be done with it

8th? Dammit, I called it yesterday, Mura is the Rika of the men

Rika didn't bomb the way Mura did. He did that to himself.

 

[begin]

Sure, because only Chan deserves all the points on this planet

I didn't say he did? But he deserved to win here.

Yuzu and Denis Ten should hug and make up since they were both robbed by the same person.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Chan first and Hanyu second is fair considering both the short and long programs

Agreed. Hanyu was far superior to Chan technically but downgrading both quad loops and turning two other quads to a triple and a double really gave up a ton of points. Then again Chan also gave up points turning triples to doubles. It was an early season competition where the FS made up for a shaky SP.

 

[vivley]

Congratulations to Patrick!! Not perfect, but good efforts on both programs for the win!

 

[Rissa]

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

 

[DiamondDust]

My predictions for this mens competition didn't go well. :disapp:

 

[sallycinnamon]

This Patrick vs Yuzuru fight today reminded me so much of Sochi2014...and everyone is happy for the surprise medalist, this time not Denis Ten but Kevin Reynolds.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Okay, would you rather want me to run a statistical analysis of men or ladies here? (by volume of judging complaints...)

 

[mish]

Osmond was overscored as heck, but at least she didn't rob anyone of her placement.

 

[bartlebooth]

Some please explain the potato king to me, please.

Potato medal is "the 4th place" and Brezina has had a streak of 4th places at Worlds, Euros. Then he got a Euro bronze and later he started bombing so badly that 4th place was a mirage.
Now he's back on track!

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Yuzu and Denis Ten should hug and make up since they were both robbed by the same person.

I'm guessing you didn't consider what happened in the SP in that event either!

 

[Lambari]

I don't even know if anyone ever puts other result than Patick 1st and Yuzuru 2nd at their predictions for Skate Canada?? Where have these people have been, well, all of their careers. :rofl2:

I swear Hanyu is going to have a plethora of SC silver medals by the time he retires. And Patrick of SC gold.

 

[lyndichee]

I felt like Patrick was just a little overscored. I actually can't decide who I liked more....

 

[mrrice]

Over marked or not, I'm happy for all the medalists. Now, I have to go and cook dinner..

Glad you got that in before Category 5 Hurricane Yuzuchan strikes.
