So Nathan chose to skate to Mao's last dancer in a komono...Thats it...I am calling it Mao's Kimono

Nathan's making me cry. Way to go, Nathan.

Nathan's TES was already over Bychenko's with FIVE scoring elements left to go.

This kid. I knew he could do it.

 

[HollyRose]

Well, lots and lots of crossovers

I'm sorry Tara, I just don't see how he has it all with this performance.

 

[s_parks]

That tech score is nuts.

 

[liberrhythm]

Holy guacamole. So relieved [emoji24][emoji24] six quad free skate, five clean, and the axel clean to boot!!!!!!!! Redemption babummmm

 

[chopinskate]

Catharsis on ice!

 

[brens78]

now THAT is a skate of your life!

 

[Mista Ekko]

His tech score is going to beat his SP score.

That actually happens a lot, past two skaters as well

 

[Metis]

This went as I expected from practice, oddly. Not 100% clean, but strong.

 

[SarahSynchro]

If anyone compares this skate to Mao’s in Sochi....

No. Just no. Two footed skating and throwing in jumps at random.

 

[nolangoh]

Who said he wouldn't come back like Mao? He freaking did it! Slaaaaaaaayyythan!!!

 

[synteis]

Just glad to see him mostly landing things. Redemption skate is well underway. Thank goodness. As Kurt says, "Skating for pride and not for gold" (though he cribbed it off what someone said about him XD)

Nathan's making me cry. Way to go, Nathan.
