Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,920 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,920 m of the 3,660 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 843 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.89 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from its parking position to runway 17L at KDEN Denver International Airport, covering 2 nm in 9 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 17L, the takeoff run measured 871 m, representing 24 % of the runway length, and the aircraft lifted off at 122 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 1 kt from 269°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
Climb commenced 2 mi south-east of KDEN, with the aircraft ascending from 6,335 ft asl to 32,873 ft asl, a gain of 26,538 ft achieved in 8 minutes while covering 47 nm.
Level cruise began 4 mi north-east of CD13 Morris Airport, lasting 2 minutes and traversing 12 nm.
Descent started 10 mi north-east of 0CO5 Chenoweth Airport, with the aircraft descending from 33,209 ft asl to 6,724 ft asl, a loss of 26,485 ft completed in 20 minutes over 93 nm.
The final approach to runway 17L at KDEN was executed from the north, on a heading of 172.0°, at 3 nm and 1,381 ft agl.
Landing on runway 17L, which is 3,660 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 61 ft agl and a threshold speed slightly above target at 122 kt; touchdown was recorded 419 m beyond the touchdown zone at 97 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 347 fpm and very good alignment, while local weather showed a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
Runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,831 m, equal to 50 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was perfect.
In total, the flight covered 160 nm, taking 41 minutes and consuming 511 kg of fuel.
The Bombardier Challenger 350 executed a final approach to runway 17L at KDEN from the north, tracking a heading of 172.0° at 3 nm and 1,381 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
At threshold the aircraft encountered a height of 61 ft agl, which was above the target, and a threshold speed of 122 kt, slightly above the target. The flare was initiated from this condition.
Touchdown occurred 419 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 97 kt, which was good, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 347 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good and the total landing distance measured 1,831 m, representing 50 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To refine future performance, focus on reducing the sink rate to achieve a stable approach at the 1,000 ft gate and adjust the touchdown point to remain within the designated zone.
