While I am a huge fan of Nathan Chen and like Papadakis & Cizeron, I do always like feeling there is atleast an outside competitor to a dominant figure. So that said are we set for a quad where 2 of the 4 disciplines are completely out of reach to the field, and there is a locked in gold medalist the entire quad? Even before Virtue & Moir's return, P&C were not considered ensured to win the events they won in 2011-2012 going in, even those they were favored for. Their total invincability only started at the 2014 worlds, inevitable since their invincability to the field outside of V&M began sometime in fall 2013.
Chen is the best in everything now, base value, GOE, and PCS. GOE is where he destroys people most, since even if say Hanyu matches him in base value if he gets the quad axel and PCS, he will lose still on GOE unless Nathan makes mistakes. Uno loses even more badly on GOE if both go clean, and unlike Hanyu is unlikely to match in either base value or PCS either.
