The ice monster is telling the final group that they must sacrifice their first jump :shocked:

 

[elektra blue]

Agreed, he should get extra points for them.

i mean, they look part of the choreo

 

[Noxchild]

************* Keegan I'm gonna have a STROKE if you don't qualify WHY NO ADD COMBO AT THE END OMG

Nathan Chen... please take the wheel. I'm dying.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Next year I want Keegan to skate to a Smiths melody:

The Boy with the Thorn in His Side
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
What Difference Does It Make
How Soon Is Now

Just because.

 

[Yuzuruu]

Is Yuzu getting a small medal with an inwalid element...?

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Oh dear - not a good day at the office for Keegan. He's such a charming skater, and has great skating skills, speed, and spins. Hopefully he will turn things around in the FS.

 

[LaArdilla]

Come on Nathan!!!

 

[Yossalu]

The Americans have been spectacular today. Please keep it going, Nathan! We need somebody to go over 100 here.

 

[reneerose]

Did Keegan just say he "tapped in a hole"...what does that mean?

 

[DSQ]

Yup he definitely forgot. Poor guy. c'est la vie

 

[kevinVchicago]

Keegan's spins are SO AMAZING to see live.
Whoopsie Daisy with the combination

Keagen Messing (CAN)

Tech: Swinging fall on the 4T attempt, nice spread eagles into a flying camel spin with very good center, good flow out on the 3A, better stability on the edges in the footwork but could have more intensity, good change sit spin, nice split jump right into the 3Lz (but no combo...), but a strong combo spin to finish

Pres: Yikes, the opening pops seem to be bad trend in this short program event... He just lost too much momentum from the opening mistakes, and lost his focus with the quality of his other elements. That lack of a combo will bite him as well. I've seen this program with a bit better timing.

Score: 82.38, TES 40.95, PCS 42.43, -1 Deduction

 

[champagnerain]

And Keegan opens with a planned bouncy butt-fall, forgets his combo.

Y'all, I appreciate you trying to make Yuzuru feel better, but please stahp.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I'm gonna sing The Star-Spangled Banner out loud if Nathan Chen manages to stay on his feet

 

[rei00]

I knew this. Girls were kinda delivering yesterday.
I just KNEW everything will be bad today.

 

[Colonel Green]

Yikes.

Well, this has not been a great final flight, apart from Jason. Can Nathan end things on a good note?

 

[Kittosuni]

No combo for Keegan. Going to be costly. One jump might be going to be invalid
