Asian Winter Games 2017, 23 - 26 Feb

Oh come on, that's one lame attempt. A bit of trying to change the subject + you like Boyang as much as Shoma? Yeah, sure you do.
(And you are free to like Shoma more than Boyang of course, but claiming you like Boyang as much to make your opinion look more reasonable or something, ew)

This competition was like Japanese nationals. They wanted Shoma to win no matter what and even ignored his URs. Of course he isn't to blame for the scoring, but the scoring sucks.
Ah, back when Japanese national events weren't up on the list of laughing stocks, those were good times. How far they've fallen.

but I can't help but laugh thinking that 4everchan already left his mark on shoma XD 1 week fan and he already got his controversial two-falls-in-fp win

I am especially happy for Han Yan, I'm looking forward to seeing him smile like this again.

After the tough end to his season he had at Worlds last year, it's nice to see him having a better season. He looked pretty happy.

you know very little about 4everchan

 

[begin]

couldn't catch anything live but omg!! what a precious podium

 

[Violet Bliss]

I too am very happy for Han Yan and the bronze medal he didn't get at 4CC. He was fierce and full out attacked that program tonight. It was a wonderful performance with big power jumps, even if he popped a 3A. I hope he has his confidence back and keeps it.

 

[Arriba627]

Another positive -- my favorite pirate landed two quads. Hooray for Brendan!

Another positive -- the dead chicken costume did not make an appearance.

Seemed like there was a little better crowd by the time they got to the last two men's groups.

Shoma looked almost embarassed to me. Poor him. It wouldn't have hurt him to get second here, and ultimately I think it would've been better for him. I haven't watched the other competitions, but I guess as figure skating is the most succesful Winter Sport for Japan, and there was no gold in the singles category, yet...well, they wanted that Gold for Shoma. Very much.

Two different quads. And marked the third with a 3T. Oh, I so hope...by Helsinki...

Either that or he wanted to be at home taking a nap. The timing was terrible. I'm tired and I only had to watch! He came and did what his federation told him to do -- SKATE. The vitriol is amazing.

Especially after Rika had a meltdown. :sad21:

brendan did really well tonight! let's hope he builds on that .

Wow -- he is rockin and rollin. He is very appealing. I got such a kick out of him at Sk Amer practices. He has a lot of personality and charm. And there's something awesome about a pirate!!!!

This competition has really put a spanner in the works for Worlds. This is going to be a real fight for Podium places, and Olympic Quotas.

 

[Arriba627]

Especially after Rika had a meltdown. :sad21:

I had no idea Rika was dealing with an injury. I found it somewhere that she has a bone bruise. Didn't quite understand why her performances were a little lackluster.

Trendsetter!

Boyang is truly a sportsman. How many times have the judges over-scored his opponents and made him lose? He never complains and take it graciously. But you know it's hurt. Well, let's just say karma has its own way.
