Worlds 2024 Men FS: ‘Putting the Eh? in Standing Ovation’

[Spikefan]

Will be funny if FRA end up missing a 2nd spot because of a backflip...

I had the same thought.

 

[Holy Headband]

206? Sure, whatever...

Also why do we have to talk about whether he's going to do a backflip or not for days leading up to every performance?

 

[TAHbKA]

206 is slightly below Kagiyama's and Malinin's PB, it's above Uno's PB

 

[MacMadame]

You guys are nutty. He's not going to lose a second spot for France with that score.

I was thinking it before the score came up.

 

[Badams]

Deductions for a back flip is stupid. I could see no points, but to subtract points is just stupid.

 

[Frau Muller]

A lot of good guys in this group.

 

[floridaice]

The Benoit Robot has received an upgrade, apparently.

an emotion chip

 

[miffy]

Amazing from Adam. Let’s hope he gets a world title with a performance like that one day. (Well maybe not exactly like that)

 

[Spikefan]

206 is slightly below Kagiyama's and Malinin's PB, it's above Uno's PB

The final flight scores are going to be record breakers.

 

[Kateri]

Siao Him Fa: I don't get taking the deduction on the back flip though. No he isn't going to medal, but every point could make a difference in how far up he could climb.

Sorry, he's too French not to.

 

[tony]

Deductions for a back flip is stupid. I could see no points, but to subtract points is just stupid.

He's basically losing all of the positive GOE on his choreographic sequence. I think it said +2.25 on GOE, so he's essentially breaking even.

Mark says he's repeatedly doing it to make a statement, but I still don't see the ISU allowing it.

Or meltdowns

I don't think he will be below the top-12

 

[miffy]

Kind of afraid what Ilia will do to top that.

Quad raspberry?

 

[kemc]

Ok. That was pretty insane in the arena

 

[Frau Muller]

Benoit of the Many Spaces approves.

Did this guy actually compete & perform? He must have smiled back then.

 

[ks1227]

I'm honestly having a difficult time moving on from thinking about Adam's wonderful skate to paying attention to the next group warming up.

 

[Kateri]

He's basically losing all of the positive GOE on his choreographic sequence. I think it said +2.25 on GOE, so he's essentially breaking even.

Mark says he's repeatedly doing it to make a statement, but I still don't see the ISU allowing it.

Maybe Mark has other quotes, but from interviews I've seen, it's not so much about making a statement to the ISU - last time he said it was a "leetle French touch" to entertain the audience.

 

[susieB129]

It's past time to stop penalizing backflips, especially if they don't dock points for side aerials and that farkakte raspberry twist.

 

[TAHbKA]

Siao Him Fa, Shaidorov and Miura are the only ones with no single tripple jumps planned (counting a 3A as a 3.5, thus not 3). Kinda curious if Shaidorov lands all his jumps - will he be above 200?

 

[tony]

Just so you guys understand how far up Adam is going to climb, the skaters in 10th place (Miura) would need 200 points in the LP to stay ahead of him. The skater in 8th needs around 195. The skaters in 4th, 5th, and 6th need like 190.

Adam's finishing no lower than 5th, and even that is putting a lot of hope onto Miura.

The medal race is totally there for him, too.

[tony]

Just texted Mark to say Boyang Jin went from 4th to 23rd in 2018 to finish 19th overall. Adam's probably going to come close or tie that.

 

[airgelaal]

Tosca

 

[Wyliefan]

No one gets up from a fall faster than Camden. Can we give him some extra points for that?

 

[Frau Muller]

Camden is back…

The final footwork was thrilling.

 

[Karen-W]

Definitely not Camden's night tonight.

I see 3F in Shaidorov’s content

 

[Badams]

I do love Camden's shirt.
