Bit early to say bye to Hanyu, Chan and Javi... that's the kind of comment that's likely come back and bite you/haunt you later...!OK, so I just saw the coverage on U.S. network TV. Nathan Chen crushed it. Hanyu, Chan, and Javi -- it was nice knowing you.
It is one thing to attempt several quads in a program. Going forward, skaters will be expected to stay on their feet as well.
It is one thing to attempt several quads in a program. Going forward, Nathan will need to increase his PCS and GoE's... and let's see what his quads and consistency are like when his programs are packed with the kind of difficult and high-quality transitions, choreography, jump entrances/exits etc that Hanyu, Chan, Javi, and the rest are doing...! (I note that Boyang's quads already seem to be suffering, as he works to increas his PCS...)
Nathan is a huge threat to the top players... but still a long way to go, I think...
