Chen wins third Grand Prix Final gold; silver for Hanyu

3-time defending champion - Chen is the man to beat now

Hundreds of Winnie the Pooh toys rained down on the ice from Hanyu's adoring fans as the skater collapsed in exhaustion.

It'll be interesting if he skates at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing

I think Chen could have won the last Olympics had it not been for nerves. He'd skated absolutely terrible in the short (think Asada 2014) only to go on to beat Hanyu by 9 points in the free.

I saw the free at this tournament, and to the untrained eye, there were clearly some unsmoothness here and there, so had he cleaned those up he could have got an even higher score.

Looking at the finals next season, I wonder what the fans are going to do after Hanyu's performance. It will be held in China and the country does not have a good relationship with Winnie The Pooh, to put it mildly.

Chen was pretty convincing. He goes from better to better and loomms unbeatable right now. Credit to the French guy, Kevin Aymoz too. He was really good.
