bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[college pat]

wonderful skate nathan great score--315.23--the best.

yes watered down, pop axel. he ready for olympics.

 

[jimini]

Dang I feel like Nathan should just keep this layout for the Olympics. With the 3A of course.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Omg! This chaos in the US men is DELICIOUS.

Gutted for Adam but so happy for Vincent and Ross.

What do they do though? GPF 5th and 6th are off the podium!

 

[Lissy]

As good as Nathan is on tv, he is even more remarkable live. He has this indescribable presence about him that is mistifying.

Btw. During Adams kiss and cry time, they had to go on the loudspeaker and give a very stern warning that flash photography was not allowed. I wonder if that had anything to do with Adams performance?

I don't think so.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Chinese fart guy just shut off the stream?? He’s probably rioting.

 

[skatesofgold]

Ross's performance was amazing and definitely Olympic worthy, but could he do it again at the Olympics? They did bump the silver medalist off the world team last year... I don't envy the committee at all. I love Adam, I really wanted him on the team, but I don't know after tonight...

I feel like crying since all three I really wanted on the team are likely staying home.

I'm shell-shocked. I really thought the team would be Nathan, Adam, and Jason with Max having an outside shot, but now I don't know.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Nathan!!!! I think Adam and Jason bombing took the pressure off him? Just throw those quads out there, ain't no thing any more. Honestly forgot about the popped axel by the end of it.

I don't think Nathan feels any weight from Adam or Jason. He feels his body to decide how much to water down his program, i.e. counting down from 6 quads.

 

[readernick]

My guess for the Olympic team:
1. Chen
2. Miner
3. Rippon

Rippon's two straight appearances at the GPF give him a lot of credibility...

I would guess this too.

 

[shiroKJ]

Another Olympics, another possible PR disaster.

 

[evasorange]

Isn't that score higher then yuzu clean hope and legacy at last years worlds? Lol it was awesome but no way

 

[jillredhand]

And now our watch begins... when does the Oly team get announced?

 

[tinlizzie]

Ross Minor can not go to the Olympics! Send Nathan, Adam and Vincent IMO

Thanks Lissy. I heard the announcement during the broadcast and wondered why they suddenly made it then. Hope you are enjoying it. It must be exciting to be there, if a bit heartbreaking. Hope your cold is better

 

[s_parks]

excuse me while I rewatch Ross.

 

[Cleo]

The number of quads allowed is degrading skating programs - the entirety of choreo, spins, and connecting moves. I believe Johnny said something to that effect earlier in the broadcast.

 

[Nathan13]

Honestly, no judgement to the selection committee for whatever they decide to do. What a uniquely awful position they are in.

 

[flipsydoodle]

Do Ross and Vincent even have a “body of work”?

 

[icellist]

Zhou should get Worlds though after top 3 at nationals, two years in a row
