Live coverage and analysis at http://icemusings.blogspot.com/2012/...ree-skate.html. Will a Timothy win the title? Can Nathan Chen add to his gold medal haul? Can Harrison Choate rebound and make the podium?

Warmup group is on the ice and we should be starting here any minute. Troy Tomasello is up first.

Hey, I'm an Emanuel Savary fan! I wasn't crazy about him after the SP, but this program suits him so much better. He's a lyrical skater, and such an amazingly happy one.(He should get together with Polina Edmunds.) Love the Ina Bauer at the beginning! Hopefully the jumps will get more solid.

I'm not getting any either. I didn't get any for junior ladies last night. I think the person that does them is asleep on the job

Nathan Chan just rocked it tonight! Seven triples within five jumping passes (WOW!) and I absolutely LOVE his skating skills! 130+ score with no triple axel is amazing!

Nathan was very good. All of his jumps were right on. Really distanced himself from the other two medalists. Got a partial standing O from the crowd. I was standing up and cheering for him. During warmup, he fell on his lutz. HARD. Then regrouped and landed a triple lutz triple toe. I thought Philip Warren should score a bit higher than he got. His only mistake was a touchdown on a lutz? Dolensky was really tight the entire time. His jumps were scratchy and shaky. Should get -GOE on every single one of them.
All three didn't have the best ice coverage. They aren't the fastest in the group either.

Again, during the warm up, they skated freer and faster.

3Lz+3T from little Nathan? If only the Senior Ladies champion could do that!
