2017 Worlds Men's FS

I think I'm OK with the PCS scoring for the most part. Boyang had a fantastic program and Jason while super gorgeous wasn't perfect -- the margin would have likely been much higher had he hit the quad. And with Nathan getting 84, I don't think it would have been good for Boyang to get that or less.
I agree with others that Patrick's PCS was way to low though.

The problem with Nathan's boots is that they broke so quickly. They were hard to skate in, but having a backup pair that WAS broken in (but not broken down) would probably be hard too. If the ones he wore today had been unskateable and he'd have to wear a brand new pair that wasn't broken in, the skate might have been ever rougher.

bleeding glitter sounds very much like a rumble broke out at the dance club.
I was sad for Javi too. I love Javi. Shoma is my favourite even though my money is always on Hanyu.

This competition. Sooooo great. The top 7 guys here are all special and to be cherished, each in their own unique ways.
The reality is the system of qualification in figure skating is flat-out stupid.
But thankfully at the moment it's not like the Canadian guys need 3 spots. Kevin Reynolds already got to go to the Olympics and his skating hasn't improved. Still underrotating the quads, can't do a proper lutz, just a lack of any good jump technique to begin with, and no great skating skills or presentation either. Nicolas Nadeau is the most talented guy in Canada by far after Patrick Chan, hopefully he can pull it all together next season.

That's great! I also love out anthem. It's unlike other anthems, it's so soft and calm, but it's amazing to hear after victories in sports.
Btw, you are Norwegian? Heh, I love Norwegian ski jumpers and biathletes, I even learned a little bit of Norwegian.

Congrats to Yuzuru, Shomo, and Boyang!! Well deserved medals although my sentimental heart was hoping Javi and Patrick could each pull off one more Worlds medal each for the 'old' guys! My heart was breaking all over the place! I LOVE each and every guy in the final flight as well as Jason in the penultimate group! ALL the skaters did their respective countries proud! Good fight!
My baby boy Nathan, you are only 17 and good things are to come! :luv17: :clapper: He fought hard out there! I wonder if his boots were an issue? He posted a pic of his skates tied up with hockey laces to make them tighter per his coach's recommendation. But no excuses! He was a little bit off his game but hung in there for 6th and 3 spots at next year's Games for the U.S.!
Top 6 for his rookie Worlds debut and securing 3 spots at next year's Olympics for the U.S. along with Jason is all kinds of awesomeness!! And Jason! Top 7 against an arsenal of quads!! It speaks to his tremendous skating skills and superb artistry that he scored so well and in spite of a fall!
I just want to give all the skaters a big bear hug! <3
Sexy Javi couldn't hang on to his World title but he's got an 'it' factor that no one else has and hopefully he'll come back even stronger for the Olympic season!
Yuzuru was just sublime!Well deserved score and gold medal!
this whole post! :agree: 
So that there are more people to blame when they don't maintain the third spot the year after.
Those are not discs, those are coasters to put drinks on.
I am so happy Boyang managed to remain on the podium. I loved his program, he didn't put a foot wrong...my tired eyes, I don't know, but I'd swap Boyang and Shoma. Boyang PCS were harshly low, for a well acted, clean program, in big contrast to Shoma, who didn't have the best program, if my memory does not fail me. I love both boys. They are highly entertaining.
Congratulation to Yuzuru for the clean program. I can't say I liked his program, but boy he can skate...
CBS cracked maybe angry for the result. I am sad the podium is not larger as I love Javi and he is such a good skater

Were they drunk or something? They usually only butcher names, not basic facts!

Looking at the protocols... some judges gave Boyang 9's for SS and TRI am not hating him but that is just not correct, right?
Are you really try to understand PCS? No point of doing this, judges are doing what they want with them. I love Boyang but he got these for his great skate, just like Nathan does these days.
They do! Man I hate boot problems with a passion! This is the second year in a row that Jackson boots failed at world for a US competitor! Don't be surprised if Nathan switches over the summer like Mirai did.
no idea but here you go https://youtu.be/HdkPdtJwQ7Y?t=6m23s
It was obvious they were referring to Tessa and Scott as they were praising them all night haha
