Chan must be the most overscored skater under this system. Even Yuna got hampered when she messed up in the short at Worlds.

Adam Rippon:

He skated as good as he could, with the Rippon Lutz and all. He got 77.53 points and is currently in third.

Patrick Chan:

3 falls and 73.20, currently in 4th just behind Adam. Sweatdrop

Adam talking about his accident in the warm-up:

Quote :: At the early morning practice, Rippon and Chan had a crash that rattled the entire arena.

"I don't know if it was the worst collision I've ever had, but it was definitely the most exciting," Rippon said. "I was doing a walley, Patrick was doing footwork, I think. I was in the air when I heard people screaming; I thought, 'I can't wait to see this.' Two seconds later he was helping me up."

Although Rippon hit the ice with his cheekbone and shoulder, catching some nasty bruises, he said it had no effect on his performance.

"I actually think it helped knock the nerves out of me," he said.

It seems Adam takes his sense of humour after his mum. Smile

And a bit from Nobu and his coach:

Quote :: "Every time you mention Shintaro's name, his face just lights up," Barkell said. "He's definitely skating with renewed confidence."

Friday night, Oda was crisp and clean, hitting a triple Axel; triple flip-triple toe; and triple Lutz. The highlights of his program were three spiffy Level 4 spins, particularly a forward camel that drew cheers from the knowledgeable Canadian crowd.

"I did a good job with my jumps, spins and steps, but of course, I can still work more," Oda said.

"I was really upset after worlds, and I just wanted to practice more and more, to be more confident. I really have more confidence now."

The skater added that his new family has a lot to do with his renewed outlook.

"My wife supports me a lot back in Japan, and my baby motivates me to be better," he said. "They make me so happy right now."

Although i see a lot of people criticizing Nobu's short and I'm not his fan, but I really like this program! First of all, my favourite song by Yoshida brothers Rockstar

Second, his energy and power suit this music so well. Go Nobu! Dance

at Patrick's scores...I think even the French guy did better than him...
He said in the interview afterwards "Now I know what people feel like when they do the quad"- well Patrick, why were you commenting on how quads were so easy during the Olympics and dissing Joubert/Plushenko? Being Canadian doesn't help me like him...sigh...

But Nobu did so well! I love his jumps- and his interview afterwards was cute too haha- he said: my baby motivates me to be great Smile

Nobu just nailed a 4T-3T-3L in the warm-up! Swoon

Group 2 of the men on the ice now...
Tono ditched the hair gel and the slicked back 'do for today. YES!! Laugh

Hahaha I love Javier's "drunken" footwork...I didn't know he was coached by Morozov...hmm

Dedicated Mao Fan Posts : 1298 Join date : 2007-10-29

Very nice score for Javier! WOW!

Subject: Re: Skate Canada 2010 Sat Oct 30, 2010 3:21 pm

I don't know how many times Tracy Wilson used the word "unorthodox" for Preaubert...perhaps a thesaurus would be helpful...

I liked his style- it was very unique haha

Here comes Pchan...

Dedicated Mao Fan Posts : 1298 Join date : 2007-10-29

And a fairly big score for Preaubert, too. The judges are feeling strangely generous today. Laugh

Radio Canada goes haywire.
Oh well, I'm sure PatC is going to score in the mid to high 150s. Just a hunch. Whirly

Subject: Re: Skate Canada 2010 Sat Oct 30, 2010 3:30 pm

Is he using the same music as last year?
He landed a quad haha...but everything else was kinda sloppy- likely a big score though...sigh...

WHAT?!? 166.12? gosh...totally inflated scores...gaaak...

From GS:

4toe - well done!
3Axel - big fall! (did he rotate it?)
3Lutz - squeaked out; should not get +GOE
3Axel+2toe
3Lutz+1/2loop+1Salchow
3flip - barely held on; should get -GOE
3loop+3toe - eeked out; should get -GOE
2Axel

166.12 Suspect

Oh, I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. -Dick Button "cracking" after Yukari was announced 4th at Worlds 08.
I'm going to apply it here today. Razz

Subject: Re: Skate Canada 2010 Sat Oct 30, 2010 3:40 pm

Awww how come Adam gets 155.51? when Patrick got over 160+?

Subject: Re: Skate Canada 2010 Sat Oct 30, 2010 3:42 pm

Hm. Adam's PCS takes a steep nosedive from what he had at JO (granted, he was perfect there but still).
This is *SO* 4CC 2009 all over again. Rolling Eyes

Subject: Re: Skate Canada 2010 Sat Oct 30, 2010 3:46 pm

Kevin did so well! His Quad Sal was beautiful! But...aww those 3A's just didn't come out

Nobu is next- go Nobu!!!

Dedicated Mao Fan Posts : 1298 Join date : 2007-10-29

Aww dammit, he lost the edge on the second 3A, too much speed going in Sad

There goes the gold. Sad

Subject: Re: Skate Canada 2010 Sat Oct 30, 2010 3:56 pm

Arrrrrrrghh...this will forever bother me....155.15 for Nobu??!?

PChan wins?!?!?!

Subject: Re: Skate Canada 2010 Sat Oct 30, 2010 3:58 pm

Skate Canada is always desperate to have PatC win on home ice. Nothing new. Rolling Eyes

Hopefully this kind of scoring won't remain in place for GPF or Worlds, because at this point Patty's scores are even more WTF to me than Evan's last season. Who, me?

~~But then again, I've felt this way at 4CC 2009, WTT 2009, Olys and Worlds 2010 too~~

ETA: When's the last time someone won an ISU competition with a grand total of four falls, anyway? study

I expected this after seeing Pchiddy's scores. They wouldn't let him lose. Look at the judge no.5 - he gave him +2 GoE for some the jumps that Patrick barely held on!

And two judges (one in particular) really took it out on for Adam' and Nobunari's PCS. This is really... ugh. Disappointed

GS is exploding. Snow

Dedicated Mao Fan Posts : 1294 Join date : 2009-12-28

I just looked at the protocals. There were some low scores (mid 6's) for Nobu's PCS, while I saw several 9's for Patrick. Snow
