[Aussie Willy]

Well done to Vinceman. Always great to see them grow from little kids to skating in the international events.

 

[victorskid]

Ted was doing the intro but his microphone wasn't turned on...

[Wyliefan]

If you're going to use Les Mis, Empty Chairs at Empty Tables (especially the original Michael Ball version) is a good choice. But what was that bit he opened with? Gangsta's Paradise or something? I'm still half asleep and can't think of the song title, though I recognized the music itself.

 

[victorskid]

Warm-up underway for the final group of the final event of the 4th day of the 4th JGP

 

[tangerine dream]

Is this the most talented Thai skater we've ever seen? He was great!

 

[Wyliefan]

Hiro makes me think of a young Jason Brown -- less content than the bigwigs, but man oh man, the artistry! Kid's got star quality!

 

[Wyliefan]

The lutz is not Anthony's friend today.

 

[Wyliefan]

Hiro goes ahead, as well he should. Top 5 is a nice feather in his cap!

 

[tangerine dream]

That was kind of a scary wipeout on the spin entrance.

 

[Wyliefan]

Yikes, really rough outing for Daiya too. But looks like he did enough to stay ahead.

 

[Wyliefan]

Patrick, wow! It wasn't perfect, but the quads and 3As were !

 

[tangerine dream]

Patrick has a nice 4T and 3A. A lot of balance checks in this program, I wonder if he's trying to pack too much in for him to be able to skate it cleanly.

 

[Wyliefan]

And there's his medal. Good for him!

 

[Wyliefan]

Yanhao's PCS ought to be much higher than Patrick's, but his tech is lower. I forget how much of a cushion he had. We'll see ...

 

[Lizziebeth]

Patrick is very rough around the edges IMHO but I hope he works on that. He is very appealing with his attack.

 

[Wyliefan]

Yanhao goes behind Patrick.

 

[Wyliefan]

Rio -- two beautiful quads and then freak fall on nothing. What is with this group?

 

[Wyliefan]

And that's the gold. Beautiful performance from Rio.

[Wyliefan]

Patrick, a backflip on the way to the podium is a little extra.
