2017 Worlds Men's SP

[SarahSynchro]

This is a game changer! What a chance for Hanyu!

I never thought I'd see the day when somebody would use this sentence...

 

[OS]

I just showed up.



(I really hope I didn't jinx anyone...)

Ahhhhh!!! SO it was YOUR FAULT!!!

:roll9:

 

[satine]

I was afraid this would happen with all the hype. No final flight for Nathan.

I think it's still possible. There probably will be mistakes among the other top men- unlikely they will all be excellent in the same competition

 

[Totentanz]

I believe we will be watching this young American collect medals in many years to come! Well done Nathan!

Nathan Chen

Ack, that darn 3A! Just landed very flatfooted. Strangely, Chen seemed a bit more tired in his expression than in past performances, but it seems he was very focused on the spins. He may still get 100 points even with the fall.

 

[Jammers]

Damn that 3axel is still his achilles heel. :sad21:

 

[Nathan13]

It's okay...I recall a certain someone falling last year in the short and still winning gold...

 

[Rissa]

The lack of clapping after Misha, Boyang and Denis was very obvious...

What? Misha and Boyang got standing ovation, and there was certainly no lack of clapping for Denis.

 

[andromache]

I'm proud of him for selling the heck out of that amazing StSq after the fall.

He'll still be in the medal hunt in the LP, though wouldn't surprise me if he's out of contention for gold.

 

[ralucutzagy]

His face hitt the ice!! God! :eekn:

 

[twirlingblades]

i feel a 6-quad free from Nathan!

 

[tulosai]

Nathan looked kind on edge the whole program....it's tough being the one chased.

Yeah I actually was impressed with the landings on some of the other jumps- he really got down into the ice to hold the edges it looked like....

 

[Alchamei]

97.33...

But PCS 43. No no, I like you Nathan but that's too much.

 

[MaiKatze]

Aside from the fall, the landings didn't look that good to me.

What the heck? The score is too high!

 

[Plisskin]

Well, I'm pretty sure the people bashing him all over this forum don't feel too bad for his 3A fall. I kinda expected this to happen given his reported boot issues. Hope he is okay.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Shaame about the fall. He still interpret the music very well. He just need to work more on emote/communicate with facial expressions...

[SarahSynchro]

I don't care how quads Chen has in his SP, Boyang's PCS for his SP this season is criminally low.

Indeed. PCS wise: Boyang >>>>> Nathan

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Too bad about the fall... otherwise a strong program. It's good that he's in 2nd though.. I was sure the judges might hold him up over Jin.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Oh no....! But great crowd support, Finland rules!

Yes, you could really feel that after Lecavelier fell yesterday. The audience is so supportive.
