2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens SP

[begin]

Agree. Every time I see these aerial spin shots I wonder why didnt the camera man ask the others how its done during previous Olympics, Worlds, GPF?
It IS the Olympics, they should get it done properly.

Preeetty sure these are the folks we got at Worlds last year. Better aerial shot spins than step sequences.

Bad enough that Jorik picks this song but I also particularly hate this version!

Besides, he's being a bad Belgian by not choosing Lara Fabian!

Jorik Hendrickx

Very careful into the 3A but good landing. A bit of travel through the first spin but decent second combo spin. Good flow through the 3Lz+3T. Good running edge on the 3Lo. Great stretch and emotion through the step sequence and a centered spin to finish.

I really appreciate this expressive style for Hendrickx. The patterns on the ice and the choreography is very interesting and the interpretation is the best I've seen from him. Strong, clean performance that should help him qualify easily for the free skate.

This Mamma MIa movie looks awful.

Nice skate from Jorik. Almost couldn't pay attention because I'm so anxious for Daniel...

 

[jillredhand]

Was or Is Denis Ten injured?

Isn't he always? But yes, he's coming back from injury once again.

Wow, seems so low for Misha

And yes, I get the TES of course, but I still don't agree with Zhou being ahead of Misha.

Zhou
Skating Skills 1.00 7.39
Transitions 1.00 6.96
Performance 1.00 7.11
Composition 1.00 7.32
Interpretation of the Music 1.00 7.25


Program Component Factor Score
Skating Skills 1.00 8.18
Transitions 1.00 8.18
Performance 1.00 8.54
Composition 1.00 8.46
Interpretation of the Music 1.00 8.79

I can't really argue with the SS skills or transitions mark because GE does not have the best skating skills or transitions (better than Zhou, obviously) but I guess if you like that program you could argue the other scores should be higher.

Seems fair to me.

"WHY WHY" hands during a spin! Jorik, that's a first.

DE TROP! DE TROP!

That step sequence would have been so much more effective if ALL of it hadn't been skated at MAXIMUM UBER DRAHMUH INTENSITY! Less can be so much more.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I'm terrified for Daniel.

Crossing fingers

 

[SarahSynchro]

I’m falling asleep. It has nothing to do with the skating, I’m just bloody exhausted....

And now I got Aida ads in my browser, did it detect the dramatique~ness on my screen?

Go Daniel!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GGFan]

If this commentator says Bre Zee nah one more time!

 

[draqq]

Was or Is Denis Ten injured?

Maybe. He seemed to grimace a bit after his jumps.

 

[jillredhand]

Glad that Daniel is back after that horrific injury at Skate America! Please go clean (and stay in one piece!!)

 

[Chemistry66]

I want Daniel to do well but I also want Julian to make it and

 

[mermaidfestavol3]

4T+3T! Wow!

 

[WeirwoodTreeHugger]

This Mamma MIa movie looks awful.

If I'm going to watch a movie filled with Abba songs, it's going to be Muriel's Wedding.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I'm terrified for Daniel.

Me too :hopelessness:
