2023 U.S. Nationals Sr. Men's Free Skate

[Jammers]

Wow this is the Torgashev that we always knew could skate like this just a few years later then expected.

 

[Myr]

Wow, I did not (dare to) expect this but I'm loving it! Go Torgachev!!!!

 

[CellarDweller]

Naumov and Torgashev were fantastic!

 

[yelyoh]

He could medal!!!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

to think that this music is actually about drinking because fate is a b*tch

metal and classical music have more in common that you think

I know on both counts! that’s why it’s weirdly appropriate

 

[skatedreamer]

Torgashev: hot dang, that was excellent!

And this is the first time I've ever seen anybody do an Euler that didn't look like a mistake to me. Eulers always seem like an afterthought in the middle of a combo. JMO.

He was so confident, in the moment and didn't let up. Steller from Andrew!

I don’t think Liam can follow those, but let’s see.

 

[Seven Sisters]

I fling virtual stuffies at my screen! Best nationals ever.

and to think I figured we would never see him skate again. USFS, you better send this lad to 4CC!

 

[elektra blue]

NOulin rouge again

Wow this is the Torgashev that we always knew could skate like this just a few years later then expected.

He gets todays Wylie award

 

[Kris135]

It's great that all.men are hitting now

 

[16Olympics]

He's baaaaaack! Well done Andrew!!! This is getting intense.

Something tells me that this post isn't going to be popular but...

Good grief, did Johnny just say that Jimmy is a trained pianist? That makes the Clair de Lune mashup even more heinous.

Again, a wonderful skater who needs better music. Or at least better versions of his music.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but Jimmy is skating to music from Attack on Titan (anime). So it's not "random" but thematically consistent.

 

[RatedPG]

I don’t think Liam can follow those, but let’s see.

He won’t… too much pressure

 

[EdgeCall]

Moulin Rogue.

 

[yelyoh]

So hard to skate after that, Liam.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Sad trombone noises

Andrew did a damn good skate and is now very much part of the conversation. His work with Raf Aratunian (sp?) has really paid off.

He's been injured for two years. I'm less inclined to credit Raf and more inclined to credit Andrew's fortitude and innate artistry.

Then again, I loved him when he was training with Mom and Dad.
