I was so upset that I took bathroom break and missed all of Chan's program. Glad for his fans! Enjoy the victory. Joshua Farris almost earned his first gpf medal...
Long bathroom break; good thing we have youtube

He missed several jumps and I don't think he got all his levels on spins and footwork ; he needs them if he has any chance against Fernandez.Lots of disappointments tonight. Thank goodness for Patrick he shocked me back from the haze
that was surrounding me from the prior skaters (Oda excluded) and reminded me what elite skating is
all about. He was absolutely fabulous!
Congrats to the Medalists!
I remember seeing Yuzu a couple of years ago and thought he had great potential. Where have his program components gone? He is not in the same league as Chan.
You really like to call people biotches, eh?
Love Abbott but his jumps hasn't been the same since his size has changed imo
With their jump success rate and the fact that they rotate in different directions, that has disaster written all over it.
I've tried to come up with something for four minutes, but there's just nothing nice I can say about Hanyu's costume..
Abbott goes down in flames.
Thank you Mathman! Very helpful. and you know, I HAVE seen Fernadez, and he looked weak. His new programs are not as good as last year's. I don't think anyone currently skating is anywhere close to Patrick in overall quality.
Really? And thats why hes 3 time National Champ, right? :sarcasm:
Look at the scores on tes and Chan is too far down the list to compete with a lot of them like Brezina has huge potential, Javier, Max Aaron is killing Chan even with mistakes remember I believe it was yagudin who over ten years ago had 2 quads and six triples in a conservative routine. Chan needs to be perfect; he is lacking technical abilities.
Are you the designated clown of goldenskate? Is this your attempt at comedy?
He looked nervous. He did a comp B earlier. Maybe he was tired. Coupled with Sochi and high expectations as reigning National champion, the pressure may not be easy for an 18yo to handle.After chan Hanyu is one of my faves so I was sorry to see his skate. The good news is he didn't cry and his second place will help towards the GPF
So tell me, IcyEdges, what did Jeremy do at every single competition AFTER those Nationals during that season?
Jeremy is a gorgeous skater. There's no denying that. When he's on, it's beautiful to watch. But the sad fact is - and what his fans need to accept - he is a headcase. You can NEVER guarantee which Jeremy will show up. And he is "off" far, far, too often.
I seem to recall that Stephane Lambiel had several dependable quads but often flubbed the triple axel.
I wasn't able to watch but feel awful about the descriptions of Jeremy Abbott's long program. This guy has so much talent, and he almost never seems able to show it.
I think I get Hanyu's costume now. He must be doing a whole "Black Swan" thing - where people play both the white swan and the black swan. I'm guessing Hanyu is playing both Romeo and Juliet in this program - I don't know how else to explain that frilly costume he's wearing.
Hanyu: Fell apart today. On a positive note I think his stamina has improved (Got up from his quad fall pretty quickly. Didn't look like he was about to pass out after the LP). On a critical note his SS is still pretty sloppy.
You know, I told you so : http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sh...ll-go-to-Sochi&p=773415&viewfull=1#post773415
But when I tried to phrase my feedback diplomatically, I was immediately attacked and accused anywhere from incompetent to homophobic. Hanyu's ubers should know they are not doing him any favor by making him an emperor without clothes by shielding away constructive feedback.
