2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens SP

[casken]

Gosh, it's so sad what has happened to Ten this year. He's such a quality skater, but he's a shadow of his former self right now.

Men's SP SPLATFEST Tally:
Stayed on their feet!: 3 :agree:
Fell on their butt: 1

Thanks for sticking your neck out to keep track of this.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Nope, we're doing this instead?

Ok :sad46:

 

[Leelee425]

Underrotated 3Toe, underrotated 4Flip with -3 GOE.

WHY IS HE HERE INSTEAD OF ROSS MINER.

To build up his international street cred he can up his reputation PCS points for when he can finally land his quads cleanly, or at least fully rotated.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Hmm, D10 is going to be lucky to Q. I bet he'll be saved based on PCS.

 

[NAOTMAA]

I know Denis was never the most consistent to start with but its such a shame that repeated injury made the fight to obtain it nearly impossible

But he will always be an Olympic Bronze medalist :2thumbs:

 

[chopinskate]

I do too! But it's surprisingly. The problem with Tom Z is, you gain so much in technical content - but you lose it all in components.

He's under-rotation prone, too. hwell:

 

[100yen]

After D10 I need to go shove some snacks in my face to hide the pain...brb

 

[bixby]

Denis 10! SAD to see him continue to struggle. Nowhere near the skate he wants. Ugh!

 

[Metis]

I agree with them, TBH.

Same. I really don’t think the music helps. But regardless, first 4Lz of the night!

 

[kimi492]

Why is that coat so long on Frank Carol? He looks like he’s wearing a moomoo

 

[rikaquegira]

Denis is such a great skater, it's a shame he's not in his best condition.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

S-t: 0
n: 4

 

[schizoanalyst]

Underrotated 3Toe, underrotated 4Flip with -3 GOE.

WHY IS HE HERE INSTEAD OF ROSS MINER.

Weirdly the 4F wasn't called and I don't think it was close enough to give benefit of the doubt either (though admittedly I'd like to see a replay before I make that call)

The documentary korea aired on denis really made me feel for him though... they had x rays shown, and the doctor talked about how he has like... unevenly shaped hip bones or something? And I believe Carroll also mentioned before he has uneven feet. That has got to be tough, being so prone to injury. I know it would do a number on my confidence. He's like the nishikori of figure skating.

So I'm in the audience and had a perfect veiw of Vincent's quad flip. It wasn't under. I can see the ice tracing where he landed and there's a tiny hook on the landing but definitely not an under. The toe was under no question, but the flip looked fine aside from the bad landing.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Frank Carroll be like: “Why haven’t I retired yet? Where’s my fedora?”

 

[readernick]

Zhou's components were *barely* above what he got at junior worlds in 2017 - only 0.13 higher =/

Well, that is good judging. I like Vincent. Like other posters have said he seems kind, hard-working, sincere but his basic skating skills leave a lot to be desired. Now, we don't always see such good judging because other skater's components rise when they shouldn't but I am happy when the judges do their job.

Denis Ten is so lovely. That performance was a pity.

 

[taikwan]

I like it - seems to reflect him. Quiet, unassuming and just TCB

 

[MaiKatze]

Not the biggest D10 Fan here but what he doesn't have in TEC he has in PCS. *sigh* So different to Vincent Zhou. Who did really well, don't get me wrong.
