Skate Canada 2013-2014 Men's Long Program

Can you please clarify the zayak rule then? I thought it was a jump can only be repeated if one of them is in combination.

Doesn't that rule only apply for triple jumps? 'cause Machida didn't put a combo for his second 4T last week, and he still got credit for it.

Edited to just be quiet. I will let others more knowledgeable than me talk

That is true. But that's not zayak. But basically the second jump will be scored as a sequence. So basically the value of at 3T*0.8.

Zayak states you can only repeat two
Quad and triple jumps twice.

You know it's Olympics season when someone does Vivaldi's Four Seasons

Has Patrick skated to the music before?

He did a pretty good job tonight, probably will win by a comfortable margin.

 

[treeloving]

I love Chan's step sequence; so gooddddddddddd!

 

[katymay]

TES should be low, but Chan is a master of skating skills and footwork...holy cow it is beautiful to watch.

In your face bioches

In your face bioches

You really like to call people biotches, eh?

 

[Jammers]

I wish i could hear the words of wisdom his coach is telling him. LOL

 

[wordsworthgirl]

Love Abbott but his jumps hasn't been the same since his size has changed imo

What do you mean? did he gain a lot of weight? or grow?

 

[riceplate]

Got sloppy towards the end (wth with that combo spin???), but it's not like Chan needed much to win. Don't want to peak too early. Gorgeous quads and skating legs. I like this Vivaldi program.

 

[suzukifan27]

At least he did not fall. I hate his faked coach. She looks quite dumb

The rule is you can only do two jumps of the same kind twice and the repeat jump must be in combo. Oda did two solo 3T so it automatically count the second one. He did two 3A so he cannot add another 3T into another jump, which will violate the rule. He can also do a 3rd combination, which he left out, leaving 2-3 points behind.

Haha 90+ PCs....will probably score close to 170 if not more.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

No he doesn't repeat any other jumps other than the 3A. Just counted.

I thought he did 2 3T's?

 

[Li'Kitsu]

This competition was pretty meh... Patrick was the only one who skated well and should win easily! It's a shame Oda and Hanyu didn't deliver any better

 

[Jammers]

LOL She doesn't even look qualified to be a coach.

 

[Mrs. P]

You can do two jumps twice. He did 3A and 3T.
