2024 U.S. Nationals Men's Free Skate

[Lamente Ariane]

Not only Phantom, but a particularly terrible version of Phantom. Jimmy, why? This is not you

Idk, I actually appreciate the lack of vocals

 

[elektra blue]

Jimmy surivived, how are you @moonvine ?

 

[Chantilly]

The opening jump was great though

 

[yuumagical]

I am struggling to remember. All I come up with is Kings something

I believe you're thinking about Kings Cup in Los Angeles...I wanted to go there last year, but they took too long to publish a list of skaters...

Nice to see Jimmy skate well today!

 

[labgoat]

Smart to see him taking advantage of bonus

 

[Ruthypegs]

Aw well done, Jimmy! What a fantastic performance - great attention to detail - loved the expressive hands and the unique spins.

The best rendition of POTO I've seen!

 

[Rebecca Moose]

Jimmy was sublime. Amazing fight.

He isn’t, is he?

 

[ramurphy2005]

Second in the FS, ahead of him overall

 

[FlossieH]

Well deserved SB for Jimmy.

 

[labgoat]

If Daniel skates this well, he can be mesmerizing.

 

[moonvine]

Yes, at the inaugural Cranberry Cup in....2022? 2021? He came in 2nd. That was a breakout season for him.

 

[msteach3]

He isn’t, is he?

Jimmy's in first place.

Without taking anything away from Ma's exquisite performance today, I think Akiko Suzuki has the best POTO program of all time by a wide margin.
