Have you seen his jump landings? They always make me cringe.
He's a more than adequate spinner, but not as good as Jason Brown.
But they must change the camera director!
Well I'm not shocked at Hanyu's placement. I had him in 7th in my worst case scenario so 5th is a bit better. Sigh that blasted combo. Sadly I doubt he will win. He has a shot at best for bronze. Nathan I wasn't surprised with his placement especially since he'd changed boots since 4CC. It is Nathan's very first worlds 6th isn't that bad. If Javier wins this again I think he'll be setting himself up nicely for next years olympics. If Hanyu finishes heaven forbid off the podium at worlds I think there's no way he'll be able to defend his olympic gold medal. His track record in good season,bad season. Last season was so good I'm not surprised at how this season is going for him. Which means good olympic year right! That combo has become his Achilles heel.
How so? He had to be among the last 3 due to the SP and the skaters draw the numbers. He had 1/3 of a chance to draw last.

Is she the commentator on Match Arena?
) just to watch totally clean version of it.
I loved Nathan's skate. Too bad about the 3A. I think he deserved his PCS. As for his chances in the long, wasn't Hanyu 12 points or so ahead after the short in 2016?

It's like they don't understand that quality is what is judged in GoE and PCS.

We're in Europe, and Javier will skate last. No matter what shoma does in the free, the judges will put Fernandez ahead knowing what it takes. That's my opinion

I agree there. Skating last, with the lead he has now, and of course worlds in Europe, Javier will win unless he has so many problems they have to put Uno, Chan, or Hanyu (with how far back Hanyu currently is) over him. He doesnt have to skate cleanly, he can have some problems and they will fudge the scores if need be, as long as it isnt too many.

I wish these allegedly biased European judges would be a lot nicer to Deniss, Moris, Alexei, Michal, etc. and less generous with the US men.

It reminds me of the introductions in gymnastic competitions. It is a nice touch.
I wish I could have seen it. They didn't show it on the Chinese feed that I was watching (or I missed it).

I am have kind of contradicting feelings right now. On one hand, I am amazed and so happy Javi, Shoma, Boyang and Patrick scored so well and did great because I love all of them. But I'm also pretty sad about Yuzu because I know he'll be so disappointed in himself and he's my sentimental fave. Nathan, I think, will bounce back in his FS; he has such high BV he'll make up so much difference in that alone. This is going to be a bloodbath and I'm not even sure I can be here to watch it. I'll need to check the schedule. Why can't everyone I like skate their best???
But damn if this wasn't an amazing SP competition.

If everyone skates cleanly in the LP the medals will probably end up as:
Gold- Fernandez
Silver- Hanyu (he would pass Uno and Chan at his current deficit skating cleanly IMO, even if they also do, and he would likely win the LP over Fernandez too but never make up the current deficit)
Bronze- Uno
4th- Chan
5th- Chen (he might beat Uno and Chan in the LP but never by enough)
