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

Why would it be hilarious?

Because no one unless is allowed to win the Skate Chanada, right? I mean, that's what internets tell us.

Anyway, based on this skate, I definitely think he should win.

Fernandez did some big jumps but he was slow with many rest stops. Ran out of steam at the end and lost a spin.

Everytime I listen to this music I can't help to remember Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze

I think of Oda!

 

[katymay]

Wow, Javi is actually not dying during the second half of his LP.....

....well the choreography has a great deal of built in resting spots....a bit slow...but I loved it.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Yes!!!!!!!!!

 

[Violet Bliss]

Big congrats to Javi!

Patrick and Nabu too.

[Florian]

OMG, Javi won!

 

[evangeline]

JAVI WINS!!


Patrick needs to call back Christy Krall ASAP.

 

[Mathman]

When I hear Oda's music I think of an army of marching brooms carrying pails of water.

 

[seniorita]

I m so going to Euros in January!

 

[jan]

Is anyone going to say anything about Javier's inflated PCS? Less then 3 points behind Chan? I don't think that is right.

If the judges love awarding Florent for his resting spots, I see no reason why Javi's shouldn't be rewarded.

It's a conspiracy by the powerful Spanish Figure Skating Federation.

Yes, I'll say something: Karma.

Yeah, they're high. I guess it's like a hard jump bonus. I would have his PCS lower, perhaps around or a little higher than Oda. But he still beat Chan on TES with 10 points!

Nope. Mrs. P will, but she's eminently fair.
