Jeremy Abbott has determined that if he can land two different quads by June he will continue on and compete this upcoming season.

Make up your mind, Jeremy! :drama:

but seriously, planning to see if he can land a different quad so he can compete more is a bit nonesensical

anyway...whatever the outcome is, I hope he is happy with it

MaxSwagg · May 13, 2015

Please. Give it up, Jeremy, you're done (like Mirai)...

Mrs. P · May 13, 2015

June is not far away, so we'll hear soon.

Since the GP assignments are due in mid-June, Jeremy will likely be on there.

StitchMonkey · May 13, 2015

My first reaction was that seems fair. Set a goal, see where you are, go from there.

Then I remembered. . . its Jeremy.

So, I expect that he will not retire.

Ohh well, crowds still like him, he still wants to be there. . . whatever. I can't decide if i want to root for him or just let him be happy and skate.

samm22 · May 13, 2015

I just hope he can achieve what he wants to achieve and go away from competing happy so that he can focus more time on choreographing beautiful programs.

I hope he gets the three different quads he is currently training, stays healthy, and shows everyone what a complete skater looks like at Nationals. Jason will be heavily backed-quad or no quad, so Jeremy will have to be twice as good to beat him.

I don´t know why your post made me laught.

So i have settled on a prediction.

He is going to in June say that he is going to compete because he wants to compete in his 10th US Nationals. Fine, whatever, actually that would be kinda neat and I would not blame the guy for wanting to go if only for that.

And I predict he will get at least a pewter. So around this time next year, we will hear him say he wants his 10th medal, even if only pewter. . . echo the last sentence of prior paragraph.

I am not predicting his success in 2017. . . yet.

Ten US championships would not be the worst way to end a career.

centerpt1 · May 13, 2015

Well, if he's rotating 3 quads, that's more than most US men can do.

There is the Mirai thread for telling Mirai she's done. This thread is for telling Jeremy.

Way to keep everyone in line.

Would he be eligible for 1 or 2 GP entries?

apple123 · May 13, 2015

I want him to go out on a high note. What better way than his 10th nationals and home WC? So one more year, plz.

He is number 23 on the season best list, so he should get one guaranteed spot if the rules are the same. He stands a decent chance of getting a second invite.

Jeremy Abbott has determined that if he can land two different quads by June he will continue on and compete this upcoming season.

This is so close to being almost exactly what he said at this time last year that I had to examine the article closely to make sure this wasn't a zombie article. And look how that turned out - he kept going anyway, but we didn't see hide nor hair of this "second quad".

You mean, the reigning National Champion might get some backing? The very consistent reigning National Champion? Shock and horror! :rolleye:

There are multiple men rotating three different quads. If the talk is to be believed, Max can hit Salchow, toe, and loop. Doesn't mean a thing til anyone does them in competition. Artur was able to hit 4T, 4S, 4Lo, 4F and 4Lz in practice; we only ever saw one of those in competition. (So far, anyway.) It's the thing to do, to say these things.

And I "told him."

UnsaneLily87 · May 13, 2015

I am so tired of the Jeremy merry-go-round. He's immensely talented, but he's going to be 30 this year. How long can his body keep up? Unlike other skaters who may have had their best days in the past but keep skating, continuing for him could actually be dangerous.

mnm464 · May 13, 2015

i get that some people say retire, but honestly I think it's good to have him in the field to raise the artistic level. mens field is getting deeper in all aspects, but Jeremy adds a whole new level to artistry imo.

agreed. a breath of fresh air honestly...someone who gives up the jumps sometimes to create the art. he is an inspiring skater, and he pushes the other men to improve in pcs. I hope he finds what he is looking for in his skating and is able to be happy with all that he has accomplished so that he can share his artistic and choreographic knowledge with the up and coming skaters.

Oh my. Every year this happens. IF IF IF. What's that old saying - "if wishes were horses men could ride?"

I'm sorry but I just don't have faith in Jeremy any more. When he's on he's a sight to behold but he's broken my heart so many times that there just isn't anything left for him. As I always say, he skates with his head instead of his feet.
