2013 4CC Men-Short Program

[Art&Sport]

Oh no, Max slightly touched the boards and then when he went around into his next jump, he had a fall. Too bad. Don't tell me Richard (who's only the U.S. alternate here will be higher than the two who are going to Worlds for the U.S.).

It had to be nerves for Max (and Ross for that matter).

Team for words...

shows when Dornbush is on, he scores the highest American other than named Abbott
If he can hold it together bronze is not out of reach

He looks very happy, fist pumps!

Strong skate, quite improved on presentation...

My stream froze for nearly all of Nan Song's skate!

I am so, so sad that it froze, because it sounds like he nailed his program! My Chinese feels are sad that they cannot indulge in this

As for me, Dornbush looks much better than Aaron.
Regardless to miskakes of any of them.

Agreed. If Richard skates clean only Abbott will get a higher score. He really should be the US number 2 right now but he hasn't been consistent.

Yeah but that's the thing of it. Richard has been a bit subpar at comps later in the season. Now he must be feeling better when it's too late to make the World team.

THANK YOU!

It's so great to see Song skating well again, and wow, has he improved!

Yah, but Ross has been the most consistent technically, as a matter of fact over the past few years. It's just the quad he needs to stick when the pressure's on because that's also very recently a fairly consistent jump for Ross otherwise. Another thing that unfortunately hurts U.S. guys is the freaking depth in their country because their momentum is lost from year to year due to it being so hard to get out of Nationals when everyone is so talented. At least two guys have got to step up and say, "This is mine! I'm going to Worlds every year and establish myself as a dominant force internationally!"
