2017 GPF Men's SP

[jillredhand]

It's not +2 GOEs, it's +2 points.

See, that's how little I know about the scoring. But now, real time TES box is allowing me to have all kinds of wildly uninformed opinions!

 

[kevinVchicago]

He always annoyed me. Although his fanbase has a lot to do with that, I must admit.

How can you be annoyed by an incredibly talented angel?!

 

[cathlen]

Underwhelming overall. I don't feel like anyone did their best.

 

[Mrs. P]

My pet Nathan peeve is that camel. Please fix that!

Jason is available for a master class. Apparently Nathan needs to join the master class with the junior men.

 

[nolangoh]

Time violation for Shoma??? Gotta see that again

 

[matmuh]

Nathan is losing easy points on spins, but that program is dynamite.

well, thats the summary of Men apart from few exceptions

 

[Anni234]

Of course, I would have loved to see Team Orser challenging Nathan and Shoma...on the other hand, I'm very happy for Mikhail!

My my, Orser isn't even here this time around is he? Never occurred to me, I'm used to seeing him all the time with everyone.

In the K&C Raf told Nathan "I've never seen anyone fight like you do. And you'll fight tomorrow too" (if my ears serve me correctly ).

 

[schizoanalyst]

Nathan, it seems, has the almost freakish ability to hold onto *any* jump. This will benefit him enormously over others at Oly when the nerves it on, so long as he doesn't pop.

 

[frida80]

Oh yes, I saw the protocols. All good elements.

The competition was unreal. Each girl knew they had to bring their best and they brought it! By far one of the best competion of any discipline this season. Tomorrow will be insane.

Wish spins were worth more for men. It's far more disproportionate than for ladies which also means that Men really have no reason to pay attention to spins. 0.6 points, 1.2 points etc. don't really matter in the long run. Rather practice to rotate an additional quad.

 

[GGFan]

So Chen finally got that PCS boost, Boyang Jin is being left behind ughh

Counting down to another Nathan PCS thread

 

[bixby]

Great job from Nathan.

But what about Shoma's QUAD FLIP??? It was UNDER-ROTATED, no doubt!

 

[Anni234]

In the K&C Raf told Nathan "I've never seen anyone fight like you do. And you'll fight tomorrow too" (if my ears serve me correctly ).

Raf is so proud of Nathan, it is beyond adorable

 

[da96103]

So what's up with the judges taking an extra point off from Shoma?

 

[Shayuki]

Great job from Nathan.

But what about Shoma's QUAD FLIP??? It was UNDER-ROTATED, no doubt!

Old news. He always gets clean marks for his UR jumps. I don't think I've ever seen him even rotate a 4F.

 

[notunprepared]

Well done to all the men tonight, they put in 110%. No perfect skates but nonetheless a good show

 

[Mrs. P]

Protocols.

http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1718/gpf1718/data0103.pdf

Nathan got maximum GOE on the step sequence.

Judges were kind of all over the place on Jason's 3A -- GOE was 0 to 2. It's like half of them were used to giving him a -GOE so they didn't remember he could actually do a decent one.

 

[MaiKatze]

Shoma....do we have to wait until the Olympics to see a perfect Winter? Stupid, silly mistake. This could've been a personal best. I hope he can still win this.

 

[frida80]

My my, Orser isn't even here this time around is he? Never occurred to me, I'm used to seeing him all the time with everyone.

No Javi or Yuzuru.
