2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens FS

How did he of all people get a level 2 on the stsq :disapp:
 
I loved his skating when I first saw him skate to zigeunerweisen for his fs when he won jr worlds at 16 years old. Sad that his skating and performance has stagnated. It's been a tough 4 years.
 
Hunh. I was just thinking last night that it seems like Han Yan is the one who's never been the same since that collision. He's got lovely artistry, though. I love his skating.

I know right?! Try reasoning with a 9 year old uber, thou. :laugh: You will never win. Ever.
 
Han, wonder if he will continue... going forward.
 
Is there a problem or injury though with Nathan? Or is it a growth spurt or nerves? What has happened this season?

Physically he's totally fine. The pressure and the nerves are his problem at the moment. He's also pretty inexperienced - he's still very young.
 
Han Yan

Elevated 3A+2T. Only a 3T in the intended 4T, with a step-out. Just slipped off the edge in the 3F and another fall. A fair camel spin. Good height and landing on the 3Lz, close to the boards. Hand-down on the 3Lo. Only a 1Lz, ouch. Smooth 3S though but a step-out on the second 3F (no combo). Good center on the sit spin. Powerful edgework in the footwork sequence and an adequate combo spin.

Well, that was a bit all over the place. Han Yan just didn't seem as though he had his feet under him and he felt imprecise and not that confident. He just wasn't able to check his landings well on jumps that mainly didn't need to have a step-out and that seemed to lean to the right. With all the mistakes, he wasn't able to really capture the music that well either.
 
Kurt and Carol are as depressed about Han's skating as I am - such beautiful skating ability and yet it just won't come together for him.
