2017 Four Continents Men SP

[xeyra]

Ok, so all these SBs are kind of amazing. Either everyone was terrible before or they've improved a lot since the first half of the season,

 

[Esopian]

Just joined to watch after a time conversion confusion about the starting time.
Nathan scoring over 100+ points internationally, wow!!

 

[Violet Bliss]

Good. Resurfacing for the last group.

Heheh commentator says, Grant started skating because he admires Michelle Kwan so much, and now he has Kwan's brother in law for coach.

And he is now engaged to another of his student... nice to see something you like turn out to be life changing. 3rd, pretty good.

 

[karne]

Yay, Brendan will be in the top 10 after the SP!

His SP is better than his FS, though. What kind of PCS he gets on Sunday will be more indicative of a change in how judges are seeing him post-nationals and post-5 quad record.

He always gets better PCS in his long than his short, even though all season we've commented how much better choreographed his short is. Even Scott mention that. But because of that I think he'll have better components in the free skate.

gotta get back for the warm up, though. Want to see what the heck Yuzu might be wearing this time, LOL.

Thanks for the headsup. I've been watching live on television, but the eurosport player stream doesn't break for commercials, and telly does. I don't wanna miss the warming-up!

43.54 PCS

There we go, Nationals inflation effect. Oh well.

Well let's see how they treat Boyang if Nathan's PCS is 43

 

[Yatagarasu]

Well let's see how they treat Boyang if Nathan's PCS is 43

37 I would guess. Maybe a tad higher. Let's see indeed.

 

[Icey]

whose star will start a descent tonight?

 

[OS]

Well let's see how they treat Boyang if Nathan's PCS is 43

hahah 34 lollllll

US #1 >>>>>> China #1

I'm wondering why Misha is in the last group. Anyone know what decides the grouping? I thought the past international results would have an effect and as a result I would have switched his place with Chen, as much as I like Misha.

 

[xeyra]

37 I would guess. Maybe a tad higher. Let's see indeed.

Which is kind of a pity because I love his Spiderman SP. It's like one of my favourites to watch. He seems like he is having so much fun.

 

[Sugarpova]

I doubt Boyasha's score will be that inflated
way lesser Federation

hahah 34 lollllll

US #1 >>>>>> China #1

basically this
sadly

 

[largeman]

JP = Jeroen Prins, and he's been an international ISU judge (and tech controller, I think) for decades, this season he was at two GPs, IIRC.
Definitely an expert...

He's one of us (YoenNL on Golden Skate Forums)

We all make mistakes and misspeak every now and then...

 

[WeakAnkles]

Yay, Brendan will be in the top 10 after the SP!

He deserves to be. He's one of the few people I've seen skate Singin' in the Rain who did it with a joyfully light touch.

People thought it would a quad splatfest but it turns out to be a triple axel splatfest (not even a fest because only 4 triple axels had falls.)

 

[Winnie_20]

Aw, nice, a repeat of last year's Boyang program.

 

[karne]

I'm wondering why Misha is in the last group. Anyone know what decides the grouping? I thought the past international results would have an effect and as a result I would have switched his place with Chen, as much as I like Misha.

The groups are first split by world ranking, then randomly drawn within that ranking. Which was why Andrew skated so long after Brendan. I think Brendan missed the last two groups ranking by only a place or two.

 

[OS]

Pressure pressure... it will be interesting to see how they deal with everything. 103!!!!!
