2021 Skate Canada: Men's Free Skate

[rollerblade]

I love that possessed Lacrimosa segment. Did he get +5 across the board for it?

 

[Lutzedge]

Jason will be going home with a Silver Medal with 1 under-rotated quad. In this field, that's a miracle. PCS King!

What if Nathan doesn't win? JK

 

[Ichatdelune]

Nathan Chen did a Nathan Chen, now I really do need that shower (btw this event minus Nathan Chen didn't happen). See you later for the FD

Easy win for Nathan, it's easy to beat a man with no quad and a fall on a triple axel ...

And all the men with ugly spins, terrible jump landings and horrible ice coverage.

Indeed it is easy for Nathan to come first in this field.

 

[lariko]

Is everyone else's stream OK? Mine just died?!

It’s okay here. Hope you can get it on rerun.

 

[EdgeCall]

Why, why would you competitively skate to requiem???

He probably had his competitors in mind.

Nathan back to being Nathan.

I still can't with techno requiem, but maybe it's appropriate on Halloween

Hey...They ALL had their chance and Nathan took the Gold. He absolutely deserves it.

 

[labgoat]

Nathan's program is growing on me. I still have an issue with the abrupt change from the footwork music to the original piece. Thematically it seems too abrupt. Maybe now that his GPs are done , he'll make some changes.

 

[msteach3]

Is Nathan the only guy not to splat?

 

[florin]

I'm going to head out now, before this thread gets too nasty
Great job Nathan, Jason, and Zhenya Semenenko! Surprise bronze medalist but well deserved!

Indeed. Surprise. Really surprise.

 

[Jammers]

If i was Nathan i'd look to compete one more time before the GPF. He has no reason not to since he's not in school this season.

Actually agree with PCS and scores here 100%
Congrats on the huge win Nathan!

 

[el henry]

Jason clapping for Nathan, how sweet. The competitors all respect each other.

 

[3T3T]

An easy win for Nathan but not quite perfect. Is it just the same programme as last year but with poorer music choices? A great way to bounce back from his first defeat in over 3 years.

The PCS are ridiculous, that does not deserve 92+.

In my mind the techno requiem represents a malevolent monster and that makes it work for me.

 

[LadyB]

Congrats, Nathan, Jason and Zhenya.

 

[Jontor]

Well, this event was a tad underwhelming. It looked like the ice sucked the life out of everyone...except for Nathan of course.
Don't know if I agree with Jason second, but that's how it is.
Congrats to Evgeni for the bronze!!

See you all in the morning for the women, if I can stay awake...

Nathan back to being Nathan.

it is appropriate considering how this event was skated....

Mournful that day
When from the dust shall rise
Guilty man to be judged
Therefore spare him O God
Merciful Jesu
Lord Grant them rest! Amen!
