2023 U.S. Nationals Sr. Men's Short Program

[YuBluByMe]

Naumov doubled the 4S several times in the warmup so I’m not surprised he did it again in competition. I wish he could have done better. Mistake aside, he moves really well to the music.

So hard to follow this

So beautifu, so beautiful, so flipping beautiful.

What a gift Jason is to the skating world.

I am told by folks at the rink, the loudest cheers of the evening, and some eyes that are not dry. Like mine.

Those folks are correct. He’s the only one to get a full standing ovation also.

Maxim. I love his outfit, this program, his spins. The popped salchow hurt, but otherwise a really good skate.

 

[16Olympics]

I know I really like his style. I saw him in JGP was impressed with his line even then. I really hope that he can learn the quads, but if not I really would like him consider pairs. He certainly has the height for it and I would hate for him just to quit. Quads are not end all and be all of skating and he has a gift that would see more of.

He did a 2axel, too, which was surprising. You might be right about pairs or maybe dance? What great lines he has.

Jason looks like he's wearing a necklace made of sparkling ice and his skating is as glorious as ever. Shower him with PCS please!!!

I am normally don’t appreciate a lot of bling on male skaters, but this shirt Jason is wearing is so lovely. Maybe I just love Jason.

Sometimes I'm not sure whether Jason realises how much emotions he brings with his skating to the people like myself. There's simply an unforgettable quality molded into his performance, the prominent sense of having a style and committing to it by every facet of skating craft.
The said style may be not everyone's cup of tea, but I can gladly take those cups to myself to enjoy.
His pure movement quality is just ridiculous at this point. Pair it with ability to give music a visual form that evokes feel of if and here we have a package.
It just hit me also that Jason can do contemporary/modern music more justice on skates that some dancers on floor. Imho of course. But I think he would be a dancing coach dream.

I actually like Maxime and have since he was a jr. Tough to follow that but he did ok. Good PCS so the judges rewarded him. May wind up in last group depending on Yaro.

oh, it's time for disco

 

[karne]

Ilia deserved the tech score, but PCS that close to Jason's is not warranted

This is the problem with the big PCS boosts for the quad guys. Because PCS is capped, Jason can't pull the gap he deserves.

His Tech score was higher than his PCS. what?? Anyway, no nit picking when there's so much beauty to revel in.

PCS capped at 50 for the SP, so his TES was always going to be higher.

For Yaro - may you find joy today

 

[slider11]

Are we keeping you up?

 

[sworddance21]

Johnny is right - there is not another man in the world that can score 100 without a quad.

 

[16Olympics]

Yaro? This again? But, you're lovely.

 

[jgg220]

Paniot is giving me an extra-funky case of Friday night fever!!!

 

[GGFan]

Yaro is such ham and I love it. I wish his jumps had been on point.

 

[momrk]

This competition has been made so much better by Jason being here. Ilia was great, not taking anything away from him, but what Jason brings no one else has. Skating is the better for it.
