Omg Adam He is just so good! Well done!

Backflip?

+5 (actually +2.5 points) for Choreo Sequence, but -2 points for element itself?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

2 deductions?

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

lol he would have hit 200 had he not done the backflip, he got dinged for it

 

[skim1001]

so 200+ without the deduction? Adam is cementing himself as a world champion contender. He's been consistent so far

 

[balabam]

lol he would have hit 200 had he not done the backflip I think, he got dinged for it

Yeah but take it that way: this was COOL

I hope he will be healthy the whole season

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

welp at least he did one of his axels this time, we're making progress

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Junhwan did better here than last week even with the mistakes. Those Axel pops are so weird.

 

[zebobes]

It looks like stamina issues, since the goal is to win at the end of the season, growing pains are fine. He already made big progress in one week.

Sadly, the fabled "rule of cool" does not always influence figure skating judges...

 

[skim1001]

honestly, I expected egregious scoring here but this is probably one of the most strict competition in a while. jumps getting called left and right

From what I saw the technical controlers were very strict. The score box and which jumps got recognized was a mess. The PCS overall were adequate - that was my opinion, but I didn't see most of today.

balabam's link works for me

Hwo did you get it to work?

I click on what i assume to be a link to a video and i just get a line of text. Do i need to have an account?

Edit:

Igot it to work! Thanks to both of you. Wish i hadn't looked up the scores, sounds dramatic!

 

[TallyT]

Yeah but take it that way: this was COOL

True. But he may have regretted the impulse to be cool when he realised it cost him joining the 200 club now instead of later....

Or not.

 

[throw_triple_flip]

I really admire Adam Siao Him Fa's bravery to go with that choreo is but I admit I did giggle when he covered his face with hands when the music changed to 'Mercy'.

The backflip was just for here, right? Can't recall seeing it elsewhere

 

[throw_triple_flip]

I wish Junhwan Cha was more dramatic..

 

[throw_triple_flip]

True. But he may have regretted the impulse to be cool when he realised it cost him joining the 200 club now instead of later....

Or not.

I doubt it'll be much later.

 

[snowflake]

Honestly, do you think I'm getting carried away thinking that Adam has chances to win the WC?

no
