2019 Four Continents Men's Free Skate

[Interspectator]

I've got my tin hat on people and I'm going to rant.
Who should have lead in the SP? Boyang.
Who should be leading now? Boyang.

If the tech controller had not just woken up 30 minutes ago, we could have had a more accurate podium. Boyang, Shoma, Keegan.

Lots of room to grow, but I like the new program for Jin.

Congratulations to the medalists!

People saying Junhwan doesn't have artistry haven't seen some of his gala programs is all I can say

I fell in love with him because of his artistry, but oh well hwell:

 

[Tonichelle]

Keegan was robbed of a medal ... Too bad he's only ex-US skater

USFSA wouldn't politik for him if he was still with them, anyway. Canada treats him much better.

I can't speak for everyone else, but that is kind of my point. I am using his galas as a reference point and those are some of my favorite gala performances. He really just goes for it in the gala, but I don't think it is quite the same in competition. Understandable, but I think it is a fair criticism. We just know he is capable of more.

Who gets the 3rd place small medal?

Beyond the rotating of his jumps Vincent really needs to work on his connection to the audience.

Keegan at least gets a Bronze small medal!

Keegan was ahead of Vincent in the Long, some maybe Keegan?

If he doesn't have artistry, a lot of the other skaters are going to have to hear downright insults. Like, I'm sorry, where were you at 17, being adult Takahashi or something?

Well deserved gold for Shoma!:luv17:

Happy that Vincent could medal here and Boyang was great as well!

 

[lady_bee]

Thanks, Japanese interpreter is much better today, though I don't think she is a Japanese(It was a Japanese woman yesterday.)

 

[s_parks]

I have zero qualms specifically about the URs that Jun got, but the calls here have been very uneven in general. Not surprised, but it's ridiculous. Be harsh, but do it like you're at least trying to be objective.

Preach honestly. It was like tech panel heard about the outrage and did a light switch today in their room, bc yesterday they called in darkness...

 

[MaiKatze]

Yes! ������ Shoma wins with watered down content. Perhaps a good Strategy? Let‘s See.

 

[Colonel Green]

Keegan was third in the free, so he gets that, at least.

 

[SNAKSuyun]

I'm not that upset about Shoma winning considering his great skate today, but we could slice off some of his inflated GOEs and he could still win...

I mean, even though they called some of the top guys today, Shoma's 4F looked a long way from rotated, and it still got a pass. -Gotta hand it to Shoma though, he gave it his ALL. Loved the fight he gave, all the way till the end.
My beef is with the Tech Panel who is either absent, or inconsistent. Looks in the mirror, oh, my tin hat has cute horns on.

 

[ancientpeas]

Well.. I'm happy for Keegan getting something.

The panels are like night and day between the SP and FP. I think it sends a hopelessly mixed message to skaters with UR problems.

 

[NoNameFace]

I wanted Keegan on the podium...oh well...at least the whole group skated well! Congrats to them all!

Keegan shone so brightly today! He embodies a true to the core performer's soul, committment to entertainment like Javier did always for me. There is a focus in executing, but he never lets down the smile, attitude, character and openess for the people down.

And now I need to get out of my room and enjoy the not-so-clear Seoul air, thank you all for keeping me company and making me laugh. Hopefully see you at the FD, I really hope I can wake up and not sleep through the alarm again
