2014 Skate America Men's FS 10/25

[charmblade]

Yay Machida!! Love the Beethoven. I'm glad he's going to win. I think that so far I agree with the placements and I'm ok with Jason getting silver, but I don't think he gave a gold-medal worthy performance, in either SP or LP, so I'm glad that he's not getting it. Machida earned this gold medal easily.

His TES is kind of low? Let's see his PCS

EDIT: WOW 88 PCS! The PCS doesn't seem to have gone down that much from last season, I guess we can expect some people getting close to 100s for 2018 Olympics??

First thing that comes out of Tatsuki's coach's mouth: You did very well~

GREAT JOB TATSUKI!

 

[Wo|flax]

Again, Machida is an example who OWNS the quad in this program. Great skate!

IDGI his quads weren't anything special both today and yesterday; unless you just mean doing everything else as well; and of course 100x better than the others here

 

[s_parks]

Damn, 35 points difference. He was in a class of his own.

 

[Maria Victoria]

I don't think Tätsuki achieved full flight here (appears a bit injured), but still a great effort. Congratulations to him, Jason, and Nam.

 

[Icey]

A whooping 35 points more than Brown, the silver medalist.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Machida needs a handful of Kleenex for his face after crushing all!!!!

 

[MalAssada]

It's well past midnight over here, so good night everyone!

 

[andyjo24]

It is so strange that Denis is always sick and seems to always bomb GP's and other less important competitions, but when it comes to Worlds or the Olympics, he always does really well.

 

[satine]

Night, bellflower!

 

[caitie]

Yay, congrats to the winners.

Re: Jeremy, if he isn't going to FIGHT for those landings and that great performance, why did he come back? He can't wait for that magic moment and just let it happen, he has to fight for it. Machida was great tonight but he fought for a few of those landings, they weren't all perfectly magical jumps where he suddenly won the battle with gravity for four minutes and thirty seconds. Oh, Jeremy.

Damn, 35 points difference. He was in a class of his own.

That's how quad works!
Happy for Tatsuki

 

[FTnoona]

Machida out for blood early in the season. He's ready to snatch them titles!

IDGI his quads weren't anything special both today and yesterday; unless you just mean doing everything else as well; and of course 100x better than the others here

I think he has nice height. Yeah, the landings weren't quite perfect, but he still got the job done. As I said, there only a few skaters who I feel have the quad truly in their arsenal -- Chan, Hanyu, Fernandez and, of course, Machida.

 

[minze]

Machida saved this competition

 

[foruiz]

Congratulations to the winners... I am happy with the podium results.:yay:

 

[rosacotton]

Well, there goes my predictions (as usual)!

Congratulations Tatsuki, Jason, and Nam!!!!

 

[Icey]

There is a message here, hope some of the competitors and their coaches pick up on it.
