Skate Canada 2012 Mens - Long Program (4:10PM PST/7:10PM EST)

[seniorita]

I love his program though, and that he uses it like a sequence from the sp.

 

[evangeline]

Oda's knees are insane.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Oda missed the combo on his second triple axel. If he adds an extra one.....

 

[jan]

Love Oda's speed. Probably one of the most under-rated skater out there!

 

[burntBREAD]

Oda's knees are so good that he made an extremely tilted triple flip look fantastic on the landing.

Nobunari ODA (JPN)

Music: The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Paul Dukas

Black lace jacket w/ red waistbelt. Black pants

4T - ok, but very deep knee bend, low landing
3A
3A - stepout, no combo (pls, do no Zayak!)
StSq
FCSSp
3Lz+3T
3F+2T
3Lo
FCCoSp
3S
3F
ChSt
CCoSp

Except for the 2nd triple axel, very nice jumps (so smooth). He needs more expression, though

 

[Violet Bliss]

Wonderful skate from Oda. The only thing that might hurt him is not tacking on a 3T after that beautiful 3A and then stepped out of the second 3A, no combo.

He saved his quad with such deep knee bend.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

YES!!!! HE WAS GREAT!!!!

He had only one error on the 3A, but didn't add any combinations (so he'll get a 3A+Seq with negative GOE, but doesn't lose an entire element). Finally.

I like this program for him. It's about as expressive as I've ever seen him. Does that 2nd 3A get zero points?

 

[Florian]

Good to see Oda back like that.

Thank you for the link so that I can follow the competition!

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

I like this program for him. It's about as expressive as I've ever seen him. Does that 2nd 3A get zero points?

No, it gets 80% of the BV.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Does Lee Barkell have any other elite skaters besides Oda?

 

[sequinsgalore]

Oda
Score: 156.20, total 238.34 and into 1st

 

[burntBREAD]

I like this program for him. It's about as expressive as I've ever seen him. Does that 2nd 3A get zero points?

No, it gets a +SEQ deduction.

 

[jan]

People wanted emotion from Chan. I think he delivers it with this program.

Patrick CHAN (CAN)

Music: La Boheme by Giacomo Puccini

Black pants, white shirt w/ blue waistcoast

4T+2T
4T - hand down
3Lz
StSq - nice and light
CCSp
3A - fall
3Lo
3Lz - stepout/hand down
FSSp
3F+1Lo+2S
ChSt
2A
CCoSp

Some mistakes, but I like this program. Should still be hard to beat

 

[bigsisjiejie]

I really really like this Chan program. He's got the best feet in the business right now...too bad about the fall and the other bobbles. Fernandez can beat him on TES but likely not on PCS.

ETA: Is it my imagination or does Chan look thinner...not in a good way, as if he's lost some muscle?

 

[Mathman]

Well, Patrick did enough to win. Not enough to silence the critics.

 

[burntBREAD]

I like this program a lot!

That Canadian flag that lady is waving is HUGE.

 

[museksk8r]

Chan was cray-cray to think he doesn't need a technical coach.
