Golden blade boy is back with a touch of gold at his skirt. My stream froze when he jumped 4Lz but looks like it went well

Daaang that quad Lutz!
And no way can he put another jump on the end of it though, he's way too close to the boards!

Indeed! Does he skate at an enormous rink or something? Or does he have to go that close to get the speed he needs?as usual, it's like a trademark for him

Catching up, short thoughts:
Jin Boyang: He needs a new shirt but otherwise terrific, huge quad lutz and the program's good. He's improved in performance.
Yan Han: Such a gorgeous 3A and smooth skating skills, now if only he'd shave
Chen Yudong: Not too bad for a senior debut, he still has the junior layout though. Fun program.
Zhang He: Messy skate and could have better spins, but pretty good skating skills. But why La vie en rose in English
Peng Zhiming: Cello Nirvana, interesting. Didn't expect him to have two quads planned, China is amping up the tech in their men's department eh. Needs better spins though.
Xu Juwen: He should've had a JGP and not a GP (not much of a circuit as it is), but I can't be harsh on him as he reminds me of our men who don't have a 3A. He didn't fall and that's what counts.

Han Yan - wow - stunning skating. Beautiful. He makes it look effortless - a sure sign of outstanding skill. He manages to combine great power and speed with lightness and expression. His knee bend is phenomenal.

Just watched the Men's SP, and I am annoyed.
Because I went into the Predictions Thread to check what order I had put the lower ranked Chinese skaters in and compare it with how they finished the SP. And while there, I discovered that I hadn't made the one major deviation from the highest scores order that I had intended to make.
I am a big fan of Yan Han, and always want him to win. And I wanted to make a statement by putting him on top in my predictions. But in my rush to get them done first thing in the morning before the skating started, I forgot!
OK, so as it stands, I only have third and fourth the wrong way around. But, I would still be a lot happier if my predictions were the way I wanted them to be.

OK, can we contemplate for a minute the sheer nonsense of Boyang Jin outscoring Han Yan on components. Really?!? REALLY???? The world has gone mad.
I get it, reward Jin for his quads and his attempts at doing some choreography, but don't pretend for a minute that he's anywhere near the pure skater that Han Yan is. It's an insult to the sport. Jin still would have handily won the SP on his technical content alone; there's not need for this kind of thing.
