Men Free Skating - 2013 Trophée Eric Bompard

[FSGMT]

V/T and Chan are really establishing themselves as the Olympic frontrunners!!

I cannot stand Chan but his skating is exquisite. Much of the choreography is the same in both programs. I guess that is what he feels most comfortable with.

 

[Mrs. P]

What's in the water in Detroit? Because seriously...it's working for Chan.

That was an amazing performance. :thumbsup:

 

[Matilda]

No doubt about who deserves to win here.

 

[zschultz1986]

That was... a champions performance from Chan. I still don't feel the movement he does is authentic, that sometimes he doesn't give the movements the breath they needs, and that his shoulders are still too high in some parts.... but otherwise, he's clearly the winner, and by a wide margin.

 

[Moment]

Congrats Patrick, this is invincible.

Chan with a well-deserved win. Insanely good score but I think deserved. Sad that it wasn't Han Yan's day but the podium of Chan - Hanyu - Brown is correct.

Completely agree - and he's just so incredibly arrogant

Patrick Chan -Deep and smooth edges. Effortless skating throughout featuring changes of direction and connecting steps performed with total ease. The way the program flowed from start to finish was absolutely incredible. His upper body movement was composed and refined.

The program could have used some more highlights and variety, however.

Surely a new world record.

 

[FSGMT]

Nothing to say. Really. Incredible.

 

[Mrs. P]

196+ holy crap... New WR for sure, but that's awfully close to 200.

 

[EdgeCall]

295,27!!!

 

[sky_fly20]

score wont be good :disapp:

 

[bigsisjiejie]

If Chan skates like this at Sochi, he's going to be next to impossible to beat.

 

[Shayuki]

Well...

A pretty disappointing competition overall, but Patrick Chan surely delivered. The only question I have is: How will he improve upon this in Sochi?

 

[Icey]

Chan was good.

Chan was great!!!

 

[zschultz1986]

He's (Chan) really putting together a Kim Yu-Na-esque season.

 

[gimble]

Wow. Who can even come close to Chan. That was the best performance I have seen from him.
I enjoyed Hanyu and Brown's skates as well. They are young and promising. Hope they stay for a long time.

 

[MasterB]

Well, that should shut up all those nay sayers.

Chan was super human today. Congrats to him.
