2016 US Nationals Senior Men SP

[MIM]

In skating it's called a stag jump.

Oh! thanks!

Why did Max wear a jumper as his costume?
Because he IS a jumper.

(applause)

I know it's off topic but does someone have a vid of Patrick's skate from today?

Well, at least I know I can skip everything but the last group in the FS and not miss anything exciting.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

MY SNUGGLEBAT

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lovely!

Snugglebat is Max? I've been wondering. That music is really overused, but he did good by it.

 

[Plisskin]

If only Max was better on the 2nd mark, he would be more than just 1 point ahead of Ross who had no quad (although Ross's sp was just awesome even without it).

KABOOM!!!!

Some good performances here! Yay for Max, Chen and Ross.

Also, anyone else feel like Max is missing like five points? #USChamps16

 

[LeCygne]

Max and Nathan were underscored, especially Nathan. Ross and Adam were overscored.

Do we know if the press conference is going to be on the A or B stream on IN?

Adam Rippon

Music: Who Wants to Live Forever

Costume: black sheer mesh v neck shirt with silver crystals

Elements:
3Lz-3T-Stepout
3A
FCCoSp
StSq
3F
SCoSp
CCoSp-with layback!

Fine, but probably not top 3.

Score: 88.01

Wondering why the 3lz was not a Rippon lutz?

I like how the IN commentator said "he's capable of the quad lutz".

Err... what competitions has this guy been watching?

But I love Adam's step sequence.

LOL. Adam's quad lutz is a disaster. I honestly don't know why he even tries it, ever. I doubt it looks even half-way decent in practice.

Ashley on Twitter nails it:

No, Max is not down by 5 pts. His PCS was marked appropriately. They didn't bump it up just because his tech was so good.

 

[karne]

Do we know if the press conference is going to be on the A or B stream on IN?

I assumed the B. It better be the B because I just turned over to the B.

 

[StitchMonkey]

Happy to see Tim Dolensky in the final group!

 

[annzee703]

I only caught the last half hour. Who did a quad other than Aaron? He's improving and what a difference it made seeing him on the ice after watching the lower tier skaters (altho' my favorite skater of the night is Robert P...can't spell his last name but what a personality!). Adam is a beautiful skater. Thanks for the link--I felt like I was watching bootleg TV.

 

[Plisskin]

Adam should be in 4th, behind Nathan imo.

The US judges never learn, do they? Quad-less programs are going nowhere at Worlds.
