Fell asleep nearly the second after the last scores, but what a competition! Even my friend, who is not that into figure skating, watched it all the way through with me (and not just because I hid the TV remote). Great job by all the men, they really know how to perform! :clapper:

Through the SP of the men at this event, I'm really glad Javi is skating so well and joined the "100 points club". 
His SP is probably my favourite of every program he has done so far (love the costume too!) and he's definitely secured for gold tomorrow.
I know this is quite early, but I'm very excited for how the competition between Javi and Yuzu will turn out at Worlds since they both scored over 100 points in the short and also achieved 200+ points for the free. :yay:

Well done, Javi! :dance2:
Tell me more about how the crazy technical stuff destroys figure skatingThere were quads and there was incredible artistry there. This program is a masterpiece :luv17:
I'm just a little bit sad for Kolyada
But it has to be said he can work on aproach to this quads, because he has done two simple circle around the same way, it lacks a lot transitions if we compare to Hanyu
Anyway Chan is not chasing Hanyu now, but Fernandez, and I have feeling Denis Ten will have strong showing at 4CC too

I completeley overestimated Russian men, I'm sad for Kolyada. Now, I'm getting my hopes up for Voronov for Worlds. Probably too soon . I think Kolyada and Petrov will do better in FS. Still keeping fingers crossed for Amodio. Part of my wishful thinking: I put him on 2nd place in my predictions :dance2:
I was impressed by Bychenko's and Samohin's performance, the Latvian guy, too. Particularly glad for Righini. We saw more than a couple of good programmes :thumbsup:.

Personally I don't agree with this at all, in my opinion quads are by far the most interesting elements in men's figure skating. I see no sense in following it at all if quads were removed.

Kovtun's reported height differs depending on your source:
- 69" .. ..5'9" .. .. 1.75 m .. | .. according to the profile info displayed on a "Maxim Kovtun" Google search;
- 69½" ..5'9½" ..1.76 m .. | .. according to his Wikipedia.org page;
- 70" .. ..5'10" ... 1.78 m .. | .. according to his ISU bio page.
But, I agree he looks much taller; I would have guessed 6'0"+ feet!

deciphering protocols really isn't one of my strong suits. FUSp4? Really? A level 4 FU spin? Shouldn't that get like a decency deduction or something :roll9:
Speaking of which, this flying upright spin needs to go; the initial position is awful. Could make the difference in GOEs on that element. I hate to say it, but the same is probably true of his cannonball sit. Fix the positions anyway. He's too good a skater to have such sloppy looking positions in his programs. I know he has some other positioning/stylistic issues, but check out Samohin's cannonball; that's how that element should look. :thumbsup:

It's really hard to tell, in both real time and the replay, but I think he somehow managed to keep it from touching down.

Yeah, defo! It's more like Gala than FS. I love Javi's FS too. He's just smashing. So is Brian.
I think you may have misunderstood what Silvia451 meant, perhaps?

Hope you'll get the chance some day. I know what you mean, I feel the same about Fedor Klimov (don't know whether I could handle the throws...)

I wasn't disagreeing with Silvia451 but the notion that quads destroy men's skating, sorry for being misleading.

Talked with my boss about the LP & she's of the same opinion regarding Flo & undeserving Kovtun:agree: She was moved by him just as all of us & angry afterwards!
Good to have someone irl to talk FS with!
