Did you find that in the same gender pairs thread!
I love how pumped up he got to have landed it.

I posted it there!
It's always nice to see him having fun...he tries so hard to look serious in competitions, but there's definitely another side to him.

yes, he seems very serious guy..
Adian hasn't any chances to win, so he will jump only 1 quad in FS. This is not the most main reason, but I think one of them.
Today he skated very well. Unfortunately his back hurts, so two last spins didn't look good. Nevertheless, he was great today.

It's good for Adian to just go for one quad. The quads haven't exactly been stable for him this year. And considering his back problems...
Honestly, I'm worried about people like Boyang and Shoma, attempting so much content when they haven't stopped growing. I don't want to see Adian walk off the ice looking like Shoma at Nationals/4CC.

Height-wise, yes, but bodies change even after they stop growing taller. I don't think going all Tim Goebel and attempting the maximum amount of quads possible is the smartest long-term strategy.Shoma stopped growing a long time ago
I was mostly thinking of Boyang at the start of the season... until Shoma stepped off the ice visibly cringing at Nationals. I thought he'd seriously injured something.

I think we all knew the gold would be Shoma's (don't agree w/how he is scored, but I'm not going to be a nitpicker...it doesn't change anything). So I just want Adian to do what he can do comfortably & not overexert himself. Silver or even bronze would be quite ok in this field. Nathan Chen seems to be dealing with recurring injury already, and that's the last thing I want to happen to Adian.

So sorry for Adian. Shoma and Boyang are older and have probably finished growing (well, I don't know about Shoma, I'm sure he wouldn't mind a couple more inches 
). Let us not forget that they missed the podium last year. Adian has better technique, so I'm confident he will come out ok in the long run. Not the greatest first season as a senior, but Nam has struggled, and Nathan...nobody is immune.

I wonder, what if Adian had focused on skating clean, doing last year's content and not trying the quad...? If he'd landed everything, that would've been good enough for a medal.
*sigh* Well, Adian already has a JW medal, and after Boyang skated, there was no way he could've gotten more than bronze. So, from his perspective, it's not a huge loss, since he's not going to do better than he did last year.
...or that's what I tell myself, to feel better.
laugh but Nam did amazing this year. Just one cruddy 4CC.

Maybe not a smart thing to say on Adian's thread

This is what Adian wrote at his social network's fan page after his skate.
