Men - Free program

Chan landed the quad, but HARD fall on the 3A

Going on a limb here because there seems to be so much Morozov hate on this board, and I hate to be repetitive, but did you see that step sequence? Absolutely genius.

And no, it wasn't just "posing". It was taking a theme in the music (i.e. Jack Sparrow's constant inebriation) and turning into a real choreographic element, incorporating very technically demanding upper-body movement throughout, giving the impression that he could fall over any moment, all the while making it seem like it's just silly choreography to the untrained eye..

No one has denied that step sequence was great, in character and entertaining. The problem is, there's just too much two foot skating in it. Also, the program was so front loaded w/choreography that when we got to the last half, it was a bit empty.

Javi can do better than that, which is why we're wishing he'd leave Morozov. Simple as that.

OK, so it's not just me. Updates by people who have decent feeds would be appreciated.

Patrick lands his second 3A, but he's really saving the landing on some of these jumps in the second half of the program....

great quad from chan!!!

 

[evangeline]

Well, Patrick managed to stay upright for the majority of his program.

I wonder what kind of score he's going to get.

Probably podium for sure though, he's not that far out of the top 3 after the SP.

what happened to skate buzz? why is it not showing this live?

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Chan should be proud of that skate. He struggled with some elements, but the fight to save the jumps (the lutz, the second 3A). He might not deserve the medal he'll get, but that was a skate to build on. I think the choreography improved from last season as well. He should be hammered on GOES though (I hope).

Well Chan's quad was great and smooth but everything else seems to be a struggle but he'll break the record.

skatebuzz doesn't have the rights to Skate Canada - CBC/Bold does.

Other than one fall, Patrick looked pretty sharp out there.
