Max Aaron

They were completely awesome :yes: Here's the link. I may have watched it multiple times already.

Aside: do you know if British Eurosport did Brendan? I can't find a video with their commentary and I really wanted to hear it. I needed a palate cleanser after Ryan Bradley's awful commentary on him yesterday.

Thanks for that particular link!! I am just thrilled that Max is leading! Hopefully he will be able to bring it tonight too :dance:

Okay, now I'm in full-on nervous mode ahead of the FS. I mean, it's clear the FS is now radically different to what it was at Nebelhorn and that just makes me really nervous. I just want him to win this so badly.

Also, SnuggleBat, we need to talk about your terrible hair. AGAIN.

HoneyBear won earlier today, now we need SnuggleBat to come through!

Max, I am so happy for your SA GP win. Your PCS is too low for what you have put out there. But who cares. You won. Happy happy Max! You have proved them wrong!
To skate last brings so much pressure. Yet you still make it!

Congratulations to Max! In fact he should have won by a bigger margin.

Congrats on the win!

Underscored.

You guys can't believe I cried for Max. After all those hates he has gotten for "not artistic enough".

 

[tulosai]

Yay Max! I was thrilled to wake up and see the result!! I always knew he could do it!! Way to go

It would be so amazing if he manages to make the final...

Mazal Tov, Max!

I was crying too! I was so happy for him. And I still am. I am more surprised he didn't cry, I thought he was going to

Let's not go too crazy! He's at TEB for the second assignment and that's a tough field. But a bronze medal should do it, I think. It will depend on how everything else goes.

I can't wait for the British Eurosport videos! They're going to go crazy!

The real Max is finally here, and he's gonna win all those trophies! yeah!

Yes, in men if he can pull off a gold and a bronze that should or at least could be enough for the final... in men there is the very real possibility that fourth could actually potentially do it too but that depends A LOT on how others place at their events too, obviously.

I'm still gonna keep hoping for him though, stacked field or not... this could be his year!

Congrats , Max!

Congratulations to Max, well deserved Gold Medal! He skated 2 great programs, well done!

Well, last year Hanyu made it to the final with a silver and a fifth, so anything is possible really

Silver and fourth...crazy days. In men's figure skating, all things are possible.
Also, congrats Max. Seeing his happy face was the highlight of the competition.

ICYMI, I highly recommend reading today's short post from semosk8tfan, who had a very endearing one-on-one conversation with Max in the hotel lobby last night:

Reinforces to me why SnuggleBat has caught on as a nickname. His personality is so sweet :yes:.

Add me to the list of those who cried with joy for him. I'm still crying today.
