2021 Skate America: Men's Free Skate

[Seven Sisters]

Hmmmmmmm oh hell I've tortured myself so far I'll stick around until the end

Come for the skating—stay for the commentary

 

[anonymoose_au]

The only thing that could've made it better/worse would've been "ICEBERG, DEAD AHEAD!"

Or "Hey you!"

Or "Juliiiieeeeeet!!!"

That reminds me where is Jun? I miss him.

Yay! 3A combo!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Not to bring down the mood but we still have to sit through Shun's program

Why did you remind me?

 

[Weathergal]

Not Benoit's best work.

 

[Beckaboomer]

I read that Nam is retiring after this season so I hope he just has fun and skates his heart out for the next few months!

He looks a little out of practice right now but I think the program is nice.

Or "Juliiiieeeeeet!!!"

That reminds me where is Jun? I miss him.

Don't even talk about my darling... He bombed at Asian Open (which was not streamed) and he'll be competing at GP Italy (along with my darling squirtle they want to kill me)

 

[rollerblade]

Oh Nam, if this is indeed your last season, why do you have to close it with Josh Groban?

 

[4everchan]

not bad nammy... happy for him... he does look out of form...but it's early

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Good for Nam, I think he conquered a few demons out there even if it wasn't perfect. That said man am I getting tired.

 

[Kathy1]

I find it ironic that Prevagen is a sponsor of this event as I hope to have no memory of at least 75 percent of the men's programs by the end of next week.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Elektra would not have missed Mi Mancherai so glad she's asleep, I had to take an Advil break

Aww poor Jun. I love him anyway! Fingers crossed for GP Italy.

In other news I kinda like that popped axel, you should get a postive GOE on that. It was huge!

Again according to the Canadian skaters thread, Nam has been struggling mentally during the pandemic and has been working on his mental health.

Who is your squirtle?

 

[labgoat]

He has some time then to improve. I'll be rooting for him.

Early for @figureskatingandrainbows and their baby (hope his shoulder survives)

 

[kmw227]

Right time to go light a candle for Shun's shoulder

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Skating gods, Shun's not moving his arm at all, please let him be okay
Shoma! Shoma! Shoma! Agh!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Not sure about this turning off the lights thing. Like imagine if you fell so bad coming out in darkness you had to withdraw. I'd be so annoyed.

Oh dear Shun didn't raise his left arm at all. Feel the fear...
