Men Free Skates

Too bad about Brezina.

I'm happy for Takahashi and Hanyu!!! Congrats for medalling!


Go Patrick!

No European on the medal stand, almost an all Japan sweep.

Japan is thee powerhouse in skating, has been since Shizuka Arawkawa, they should be proud. Now if only Mao & one of her compatriots can get on the medal stand later on.

Chan sets a new world record.

 

[Becki]

Okay....so

Gold: Chan
Silver: Takahashi
Bronze: Hanyu

I am happy and content with the results =]

Not happy with Daisuke's score either. But WHAT A SKATE!!!!

 

[Art&Sport]

Technical score was fair, but only 85.78 in PCS for that program?!

Yeah, but the marks under IJS are truly just so unrealistic, random and unpredictable. The excitement anyone feels is just being generated by the energy, desire, and courage of those skaters (like Dai) who geared up enough to be able to show the heart that is in them. Once again, the IJS and the quad are ruining this sport. I love Jeremy's heart and fight too (but unfortunately he's a bit too fragile). Jeremy made great strides this year, but when you have the programs, you've got to deliver them. Jeremy is so much better than so many of the guys in front of him.

And I agree that Dai was a bit low-balled in scoring of his fp -- leaving room for PChid most definitely.

Hanyu had so much speed!!!

Yeah, but what about CH, IN, PE.....?

 

[Li'Kitsu]

I am a little disappointed with Dai's PCS. I just think for this brilliant program, jumps out of nowhere, part of the music, the jumps actually go with the music, all of Dai goes with the music - for this performance, that was very stable, no typical Dai-saves all around - I'd have given >90 PCS. How else do you encourage programs that are so well choreographed, that are one with the music? And that are performed exceptionally.

Agreed. Agreed. Agreed.

And Hanyu medals!!!
Good, because he nearly gave me a heart attack with that fall before!

 

[Becki]

I like how we can tell if the competition is over by Patrick's first three jumping passes LOL but congrats to everyone!

 

[museksk8r]

Chan is perfect so far! Another World title on the way! I give this guy credit for being a tough as nails competitor; AMAZING!

Dam Patrick's quads

 

[Mrs. P]

Look at Yuzuru's TES...91.99. Dai will need to work on his TES if he wants to beat YUZURU...

True. But for now PCS is on Dai's side.

 

[CassAgain]

Chan is a perfectly fine skater...that I will never be able to be excited about.

 

[Becki]

True. But for now PCS is on Dai's side.

Not in a few years....but Daisuke is still a beautiful skater

 

[Nadine]

I was right in all my predictions this week. The Americans had one of their worst Worlds on record. Fact. And Chan breaks his old world record. I knew it.

Now just waiting for Hersh's latest article.

 

[evangeline]

O_O Patrick's missing 2A....

but that should be enough for gold. Congrats to all the medallists!!

 

[Jammers]

Watching Chan he's like a machine yet nothing in his skating moves me.

 

[Mrs. P]

Uh...confused. Was that a fall on a jump or footwork?

 

[hurrah]

He fell! What will it be???
