Vincent is no threat to Brown because he is too young for Senior Worlds. Is this correct?

Wow! This competition has gone fast!

I believe he's old enough. But the new rules make this irrelevant.

Vincent Zhou:

Crossing my fingers! Beautiful 4S! Light touchdown with his foot on the 3A. Slow but nice rippon 3Lz+3T. Not as well-timed as I've seen him do in past skates, but great expression and lightness of touch throughout the program. I believe this was choreographed by Jeffrey Buttle; regardless, it suits his skating and brings out his emotional commitment. This might score in the 90s.

Choreo is by Drew Meekins...not Buttle

Vincent is 16. He's age eligible for Senior Worlds.

I believe he's old enough. But the new rules make this irrelevant.

I imagine USFS has spots reserved at an international to get him or anyone else Senior minimum TES if they need it.

 

[Yatagarasu]

If they gave this 39 PCS I expect Jason to get well over 40, thanks.

 

[badknees]

Shouldn't there be a bigger difference in PCS with Grant and Vincent?

He is old enough but does not have the minimum TES from a senior level competition, which he needs.

Totally agree could not have said it better.

Good job Vincent but this Sam Smith is killing me.

 

[Icey]

Couldn't he go to 4cc

 

[Weathergal]

I don't like this program for Sean, actually. A little too stately.

Last year, at least, it was:

Coach: Lou Ann Peterson, Cindy Sullivan

Thank you Chemistry66. I thought I recognized her, and it was driving me nuts. Hadn't been able to find anything online yet.

But you can get that at 4CC?

 

[Plisskin]

I just don't understand why so many skaters want to use that Sam Smith song. It's not that great of a song.

 

[Chemistry66]

But you can get that at 4CC?

No, because you need minimum Senior TES (though lower) for 4CC too. They'd have to send him to some other international.

 

[da96103]

I hope this is the last time we hear Miner's New York.

 

[StitchMonkey]

He would need to get the minimum TES for 4CC at a senior competition first. And I don't think he has ever competed as a senior internationally.

 

[BlackAxel]

Okay so this is the first time I am seeing Emmanuel Savary. I just have to say that it is VERY refreshing to come across an African American male figure skater.

 

[karne]

Couldn't he go to 4cc

You need a minimum score earned at Senior level for 4CC as well

What are they talking about.... Jason Brown has an injury?
