2025 World Championships Men's Free Skate

Well, they shouldn't be in the Brown/Aymoz level, but certainly he deserved more than Shaidorov. Dock him a few PCS points and.....no effect on the outcome.

a skater doesn’t get docked because they didn’t complete a jump on the lineup. He completed a double flip.

USFSA should just let Malinin and Brown skip Nationals next season and just give them both an automatic bye to the Olympics.

USFS has clear criteria to be followed when selecting skaters to major championships.

Wow so many quads - I am exhausted watching. Congratulations to the winners pushing new boundaries, for Yuma and Jason for carrying the banner for style while still skating at a high level overall and the the rebounds from Adam and Kevin. For all those who secured spots for the their nations. Goodnight all!

US what to do about Andrew. Last Worlds he was 21st and now 22nd. He's trending down. Is it a buy a hold or a sell? Please next year Jimmy or an upcoming Jr.

Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!

 

[labgoat]

I honestly wonder if his back is bothering him again. He was grabbing at it one of the practices the other day.

He probably worked himself so hard to get ready so I would not be surprised.
If so, heal up Andrew.

Shaidorov was most memorable at this competition. He was just so on.

Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!

He's trending up. I think it's a good possibility!!

Great worlds for USA team with 3 golds! Congratulations!
Happy for all the medalists across the 4 disciplines; and for the rest of the skaters, there is always next year! Work hard and do your best, that’s all that matters!

Can we now end debate about whether Jason belonged on the team ????? I believe once again that question has been resoundingly answered

Does this happen over and over again? That people criticize him being there and afterwards have to apologize? They should have learnt meanwhile.

 

[Florian]

It's 4 am here.

Yes, here too. But for watching history it is never too late, right?

USFS has clear criteria to be followed when selecting skaters to major championships.

Of course they do, but Malinin and Brown have both been such rocks for team USA that they could both pull a 2014 Wagner or 2018 Rippon at Nationals and still be named to the Olympic team, and rightly so.

So you can win in SP,
? What ?

OR a poor example of cheating..

 

[Janice4th]

Did Chris really just describe Ilia as 'humble'...?

Surely he jests.

 

[yelyoh]

Jason highest PCS then Ilya then Kevin. Gold Silver Bronze for components.

That is nuts to me considering the shambles USFS lineup was in a decade ago. Kind of thought the GPF was a fluke.

 

[yelyoh]

Surely he jests.

Well yes if you consider "Quad God" humble bragging.

You're missing the point--that's not what I was talking about. Another poster was complaining that Ilya's high PCS was excessive. (I actually agree with this poster on that point). What I was saying above that it doesn't really matter when Ilya has so much of a TES advantage, even if the judges gave Ilya PCS equivalent to Shaidorov (82.5), his total score would still be well into 1st place. And Ilya certainly deserves more PCS than Shaidorov based on what each put on the ice tonight.

I really think we need to look at Jacob and Lucas. Both of them have great potential and quite frankly they seem do better under pressure than most of the rest If I was putting money on who might be the one I would put it on Jacob because he is clearly our future.
PS Jason needs to start making plans for a trip to Italy next February because he just got a ticket to go to his 3rd games and thIs time USFS put him in the team event for another medal.

 

[Jammers]

Agreed. I miss my fav Nathan. It would have been great to see both competing against the other. And then at the Olympics.

Yeah Nathan had a least a couple more years left in him but it just wouldn't have been fair to face him and Ilia that would have been the best skating duo of all time better then Yagudin and Plushenko.
