Worlds 2024 Men SP: ‘No Fan-ada?’

[MacMadame]

Britschgi the top European, Donovan Carrillo ahead of Adam Siao Him Fa.

We live in interesting times.

And Jason in 4th.

 

[Matryeshka]

Adam did way too many early competitions. That only works if you're a Korean lady. He almost Kurakova'd.

Oh well. The ?bright? side is for my delicate nerves, I really needed one of them to take themselves out of the running before the free skate. If they all skated cleanly, I'd be flying to Montreal to dip into Tonia's stash.

 

[Cachoo]

So the 93 guys make the final flight. I was NOT expecting that.

 

[Rukia]

well with Adam having a disaster short I'm fine if the top 3 stay the top 3 but Yuma should be #1

 

[thvu]

Jason Brown in fourth place in the short program. has that ever happened at worlds?

He's been 2nd after the SP.

 

[overedge]

Thank you Mark and Tonia for this very long morning/afternoon of work!

 

[MsZem]

Adam did way too many early competitions. That only works if you're a Korean lady. He almost Kurakova'd.

Or Tuktamysheva in 2015.

 

[skatingguy]

Jason Brown in fourth place in the short program. has that ever happened at worlds?

Jason was 2nd in the short program in 2019.

 

[peibeck]

So the 93 guys make the final flight. I was NOT expecting that.

I know you are talking score, but it seemed like 93 guys skated. This has been a looooong afternoon.

 

[Matryeshka]

I have just enough time to stop for on my way home before pairs!!! Day is looking up!

 

[Simone411]

He's been 2nd after the SP.

He sure has!

 

[MacMadame]

I know you are talking score, but it seemed like 93 guys skated. This has been a looooong afternoon.

That was my first thought too!

 

[TAHbKA]

maybe take into account what the folks who are in the arena are saying and temper your criticism of his skating skills until you see Ilia in person one of these years?

Saw Malinin on the arena several times. His skating skills are somewhere around Gorodnitski. His jumping skills are out of this world.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

Or Tuktamysheva in 2015.

Or you have

 

[MsZem]

I know you are talking score, but it seemed like 93 guys skated. This has been a looooong afternoon.

Never forget.

 

[Frau Muller]

DH is mixing up some Piña Coladas before the Pairs finals! Time for a break!

 

[Karen-W]

So the 93 guys make the final flight. I was NOT expecting that.

Not much different than last year when Jason's 94.17 was good enough for 6th.

The big difference is that last year Donovan's 80.19 would have gotten him into the penultimate group but today the Selevko needed 4 points higher for 12th.

 

[miffy]

Well I never thought 2 Euro guys that weren’t Adam would be in the final group but well done Lukas and Nikolaj!

 

[MsZem]

Or you have

That meldonium was legit and you know it

[dupa]

Malinin isn't a 9 PCS skater no matter how much fans try to tell me the ability to do quads must mean his basics and program composition are brilliant.

Well, he isn't "really" American either dontcha know.

 

[PRlady]

Adam did way too many early competitions. That only works if you're a Korean lady. He almost Kurakova'd.

Oh well. The ?bright? side is for my delicate nerves, I really needed one of them to take themselves out of the running before the free skate. If they all skated cleanly, I'd be flying to Montreal to dip into Tonia's stash.

I’ve been trying not to weep over four great guys and only three medals and Adam unfortunately solved the problem.

I still think Lukas, Deniss and Nik were robbed and should be ahead of Jason. Oh ok, Egadze too, he’s got great jumps.

 

[Karen-W]

Okay, so, if the SP results hold...

Japan & USA get 3 spots next year while Switzerland, Italy, Georgia, Latvia, Korea and Canada get 2 spots. I need for these placements to change just enough to also get Estonia into the 2 spots category. Or maybe for Georgia to just swap with Estonia since Georgia has no need for a 2nd spot unless there's some other wannabe Georgian residing in Moscow who can convince the RFSF to give him a release.

 

[jenny12]

I love Shoma, but I enjoyed Yuma much more today.

Agreed. I would have had Yuma in first but hoping this helps him in the free.

Shoma’s great but his overall skating doesn’t seem as smooth and free as Yuma’s.

 

[MacMadame]

Saw Malinin on the arena several times. His skating skills are somewhere around Gorodnitski. His jumping skills are out of this world.

Malinin has charisma. It doesn't change his skating skills. But charisma should impact the performance-related PCS. But that's not how the judging works.

 

[TAHbKA]

@skatingguy thank you again for the great PBP!

 

[PRlady]

I know Ilia and Shoma have harder quads but I’m hoping for Yuma to pull it off Saturday. Doubtful but possible.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

My rant is still not over. This is a technical program. If you have a quad axel do it. Because you’re PCS won’t save you in the technical program.

Ilia has improved so much. He`s only 19 maybe and maybe should save the wear and tear. He may have to wait out a couple skaters the judges seem so taken with. Keep the 4A and his knees fresh for Oly`22.

 

[Colonel Green]

Yuma should be in first, in my opinion.

 

[Sally1214]

Well, I think I experienced the full range of emotions possible in that final group.

I was ELATED over Yuma.
DISAPPOINTED for Kao.
Felt the PAIN (ouch for that fall on the tailbone) for Cha
HAPPY for Ilia.
DELIGHTED for Shoma.
DEVASTATED for Adam.

This sport is not for the faint of heart. One has to be able to ride the "highs," endure the "lows," cope with periods of not breathing, white knuckles and pounding hearts. And, MOST OF ALL, we need a thriving sense of humour to deal with the sometimes RIDICULOUS scoring of the judges.

But .... oh ... ISN'T IT FUN?

Off to get some dinner. See y'all for the pairs final in a bit.
