2017 Worlds Men pre-event thread

67.52

What a funny contest about who's going to hit the correct score for men's SP cut at Worlds!

Given the general inflation and pre-Olympic Worlds, I think the Q mark is gonna be given to skaters over 66-67.

My number is 67.2!

My magic unicorn tells me 64.37

65.65

69.69

68.6

65.45

WOW, this would make a fantastic mens short competition

 

[NoNameFace]

oh, a new game , my wild guess would be 67.57

 

[xeyra]

Planned layouts are out. Pretty much the updated layouts from 4CC, though I thought Patrick had changed the order of his jumps and added a -1lo-3S combo do his first 3A, so not sure why it doesn't show that in these.

So no official layout changes...but what is this about Nathan doing a 6 quad layout?!!

Yep, saw that from Jackie Wong. He did a 6-quad layout in his FS runthrough, though not sure if planned layout or just improv. Jackie Wong posited the following 6-quad layout possibility:

4Lz3T, 4F, 4F2T, 4Lz // 3A2T2Lo, 4S, 4T, 3Lz = 115.74 BV with all level 4s

or if we keep the 3F

4Lz3T, 4F, 4F2T, 4Lz // 3A-1Lo-3F, 4S, 4T, 3Lz = 118.71 BV

Depending on his SP and his chill level at the time, he might be going for that 6-quad layout to out BV anyone's TES. I can't even.

Edit: For comparison purposes, his 4CC layout BV, which is his planned layout in theory, is 111.43.

 

[Frag]

I'll go with 68.5!!

I am pretty sure Patrick will use his new layout...

4T-3t, 4S, 3A-1/2Lo-3S Bonus 4T 3A 3Lo 3Lz-2t , 3F

he said he wanted the 4S earlier so that he put it in second instead of 3rd.

He also said he missed a lot of points when not being able to do combos in the 2nd half (especially on the 3A) so he is putting the combos in the first half.

So we will have to see.... of course, anything can happen

 

[xeyra]

Yeah, he'll do that new layout. Just not sure why the planned layout isn't updated though the probable reason being he may have not yet submitted the updated layout to the organization, so they released this one. :think:

What is Nathan Chen even doing? Is this an intimidation tactic? Is he prepared to break himself (and my heart) before Olympics? *screams*

Finally Nathan Chen is doing a BALANCED programme: 6 quads and 6 non-quads

Everyone can heave a sigh of relief.
