I am SO disappointed that the beautiful Alexander Johnson doesn't have a GP assignment I'm sort of in love with him.....uh, his skating.
^^^ Is this true? Alex doesn't have an assignment. I'm truly shocked. Alex has been in top 10 for years now and he is a beautiful skater with a ton charisma. Are you sure he's not assigned anywhere?

Has Max Aaron done any summer shows? I feel like I haven't him in quite a while. With his determination and internal fire, I expect him to be working very hard to get on the Olympic Team.

He doesn't even seem to have a fan fest thread here.
Yes, he did the Showtime on Ice show (no video). He is also listed for Barrett charity show. He has a tendency to be a bit invisible at this part of the year. But you will see him at the Aerial Challenge event, which is being streamed live on Facebook.
Has Max talked about his upcoming season? I imagine he's going to keep his relatively new SP from nationals but, I can see him leaving the lion king behind.

I'm actually in the process of making one for Alex and hope to have it posted tonight. :yay:Really, I'm really surprised. I remember him doing that great FP a couple of years ago and came off the ice crying. He certainly got my attention that night and I'm surprised that he doesn't have a fan page here.

I believe he graduates this year, but I would think that he would have posted a graduation photo if he had finished in May. Maybe it's this summer or December.
Well, thankfully for all of us starved for men's FS news, the Broadmoor Open and the Aerial Figure Skating Challenge are coming up in about 3 weeks!
We know that Josh, Emmanuel S, Max, Vincent, Jason, and Alex K will be competing in the team jump event at the Aerial Challenge; Tim D, Ryan B, and Jeremy A are team captains, so we'll get to see all of these guys jumping soon - and there will be a Facebook Live broadcast!

No word on who will compete at the Broadmoor Open yet, but many of the above guys have participated in the past. And although neither Nathan nor Adam are listed for the team jump challenge, I've heard Adam has been training a lot in Colorado, and Nathan has previously participated at Broadmoor, so maybe we'll see one or both of them there. Last year's Broadmoor Open was streamed by Pro-Event Photo; no word on this year's yet.

Does this mean Jeremy Abbott might try still for the olympics???? I think Nathan is a sure thing and probably Jason because he is lucky and loved. That leaves Vincent, Adam, Max, Josh, Grant and whoever else fighitng it out for the last spot.

Jason is "lucky" because he is a hard-working, gifted and charismatic skater who performs consistently well, competition in and competition out. In other words, he makes his luck. And he is loved, at least by his fans, for those very same qualities.:agree:
I would love to see him on the Oly team, but I think the nearest thing to a lock, for better or worse, is Nathan.
Since Ryan Bradley, who is definitely retired, is coaching a team, I don't know that Jeremy's presence can be as a signal one way or the other.....
Jeremy has yet to decide, he's been considering it though, you'll just have to wait and see.
If Jeremy comes back for Nationals i think it will be for a farewell skate to be honest. A 31 year old who's taken the last couple years off doesn't have much of a chance to make the Olympic team. He wasn't really that competitive the last year or two he skated internationally since he didn't have a consistent quad and being Jeremy he couldn't be counted on but since he's taken time off Men's skating in terms of quads has gone to a new level that leaves him behind even further then when he left.
Well, he won the MWO in 2015 and has been skating better than ever, so you can judge what you can't see and I'll judge what I can. YMMV. He's got quads, none of the US men are super consistent, and there are US men making podium that have yet to land a quad, PCS is a thing too you know it's not all about GOE. BTW...he's 32 now. Have a nice day.
