Okay... Gogolev is one UR away from advancing above Grassl.

Ah, after seeing Ruthy's question, I found a dedicated stream for the skating on the iPlayer. So, you can switch over to it if you want:

Hope this one works better for you.

Thank you! Unfortunately it's the same stream. Come on guys, back to the skating...

Well, quads far from perfect but he stayed on his feet. Levels looked ok (judging on base value)

 

[FlossieH]

That was a bit scrappy from Daniel Grassl, but I suspect they will give him the PCS to take the lead. I think Gogo actually had the better skate, though.

 

[Ziotic]

the tiebreaker is made of the two top ranking disciplines. Canada had 14 and France 13.

I took it to mean the actual scores not the points they earned.

Grassl - very simplified entrance into the quad Lutz, basically straight down the ice with no steps or transition into it. Lutz looked a quarter short, sketchy landing into a barely saved double toe loop.

Loop and quarter short at least. Axel looked fine. Three of the first four elements under review.

Daniel is such a puzzling skater, because sometimes he hits the jumps with full rotation, and other times they're not even close. I'd say today they weren't close, other than the axle. Cool trademark spin position to end, though.

To the audience that was ostensibly a clean skate come up but the jumps were not solid. I hope the tech callers don't let them go just because he's Italian in Italy.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Whew, Grassl held on to the quad like his life depended on it. Good fight!

 

[4everchan]

I'd give the lead to Gogo... yes... I am biased . that loop looked Q.. that lutz was not good... and well, PCS wise, I fail to see where Daniel is so much better than Gogo. He should score below Cha in PCS...

 

[IceDancingQueen]

Two best scoring disciplines; so men and dance

Thanks!

 

[RatedPG]

Ok. So, I hope they call Daniel’s under rotations. I would put Grassl in second

 

[Sabsi]

@elektra blue I’ve never crossed my fingers for Daniel as much as I did today.
You can be so proud of your son

 

[4everchan]

I took it to mean the actual scores not the points they earned.

the first tie breaker is the points.... then if still tied, the scores from these disciplines come into play

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

All this talk of tiebreaks is stressing me. Because I want both Canada and France to go through.

Canada because I put them third in my predictions because I want to make sure Piper and Paul get a medal. And France because I want my Pairs kids to get to do their FS in the Team event.

Gogolev is ahead! Well done, judges.

 

[momrk]

Thought Gogo was better

 

[Arigato]

GO KEVIN!

 

[snowflake]

GO Kevin!!! I don't care which teams make the final. I just want all guys to have great skates

 

[4everchan]

OMG... this could be played now.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Thank you! Unfortunately it's the same stream. Come on guys, back to the skating...

Drat!

Typical BBC! It just had to be too good to be true, didn't it?
