I don't think this skate will deliver a gold medal for Chan...Will it even be enough for silver?

Hanyu fell down twice. Chan bobbled but stayed on his skates

I thought it was already decided the judges were fixed against Canada.

 

[BlueWolfZero]

Yeah that's bullshit judging

 

[jstewismybastardson]

how is he possibly expected to skate a clean program with those eyes

 

[Darkstone42]

Difficulty is a major component of judging, and Chan also went smaller than he was supposed to on a couple tricks.

 

[BlueWolfZero]

Well it's a medal but Chan another in a long line of Canadian male skating chokers

 

[Dacks]

Disappointing for Chan. Would have won even with the stumble. But the stumbles and some downgraded tricks cost him.

 

[BlueWolfZero]

I don't think one skater did a clean program tonight.

Browning, can you try not being such a snob.

Browning, can you try not being such a snob.

He's the second best skater from Caroline, Alberta.

/Kris Russell holds the title

So Skate Canada, how do you feel about shunning Orser as a coach 6 years ago now, still the right call?

I don't always agree with Wolfie, but I had to change the channel, Kurt Browning was being insufferable.

I have always seen this as your one flaw....

Guess it's a good thing there were no random drug testers with him

Plushenko should have participated. He probably would have won the Gold for Russia.

He had a "back injury" and was forced to "retire"

Joanne Rochette apparently none too impressed by Chan's clutch skating abilities.

When does Eric Heiden race?
