2022 U.S. Nationals: Senior Men's Free Skate

[moonkat]

Oh man, the selection for the men is going to be interesting

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't go
Even if Nathan messes up a quad, he'd win

 

[bigsisjiejie]

I'm actually thinking the best strategy for the Olympics is leaving Vincent behind. Chen, Brown, and Malinin go. Not sure we need 3 quadsters, especially when one is prone to UR's.

 

[lichi]

The future of U.S. singles is looking bright

 

[MarkinBerkeley]

He's winning silver, I think.

 

[yelyoh]

115+ tech alone??? HS.

 

[Oreo]

I sure wouldn't want to be on the selection committee.

 

[momrk]

That was something. Those jumps.

 

[RatedPG]

Wow! I hope Ilia tops Zhou and Brown. That was incredible. He is the future and I hope they don’t destroy him on PCS. He deserves silver and a spot in the Olympic team.

 

[ivanja]

4T from a spreadeagle. Wow.

 

[Skatingcat]

Oh, I want Jason to go to the olympics. Just to see Sinnerman a few more times.

 

[skatesofgold]

Yeah, I have no idea what the selection committee is going to do about the men. Welp.

 

[Alchamei]

I sense danger for Vincent... They can't possibly leave Ilia at home with this skate?!

They left Ross Miner home after having a skate of his life do yes, they can.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I would hope so.

I have no doubt that he and his coaches know this too, which may account for how relaxed he was in his LP. No pressure=amazing skate

 

[TontoK]

This is going to be a 300+ score.

I cannot see the selection committee leaving that at home in favor of three (probably) soon to retire veterans.

 

[Paulipau]

He's winning silver, I think.

He totally deserves it.

 

[lariko]

What if Malinin comes in 2nd?

He has to win gold

 

[Seven Sisters]

Do we think Nathan might also have an off day today? This is a very weird comp

i blame the concert in the middle, it messed with the ice somehow

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

OK, if he does go to JWorlds, it's going to be a TIME
Shun Sato: 4 quad free (can do clean)
Kao Miura: 4 quad free (did cleanly at Nats)
Ilia Malinin: 4 quad free (did cleanly at Nats)
I mean...

POP THE POPCORN Y'ALL

unlikely, but think if Nathan happens to have a bad skate here...i don't have this much popcorns or drinks here

No way to justify that.

Vincent has had a better season than Jason winning a GP AND he beat Jason here.

0% chance of Jason going over him
