OMG -- I am sooooooo happy for Ryan. My heartfelt congratulations to him and all the medalists.

"Did you think you had done enough when you were finished?"

Ryan: "Noooooooooooooooooo!" and shaking his head and laughing while he said it. Haha, so adorable.

Loving this interview. Even if ANdrea Joyce is doing it.

Ryan 4th in FS - Jeremy 6th - behind Armin!

 

[gmyers]

Interesting that both Russian and the US had champs 27 and 10th year in seniors

 

[seniorita]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[Tonichelle]

gotta love being offended for offended's sake...

Ryan, Ryan, Ryan... you are fantastic.

Tom Z in the background when the scores went up, going "Oh my god!"

Rudy Galindo 3rd oldest; didn't have Rudy's incredible moment nor artistry, but he did it. Congrats! Now he finally has a National Title. Good luck on SOI, that's one move that I do agree with Scott on, because he better hire him, he's a born showman!

The SP kept him up there. I forgot this is COP, you can win with falls, and especially you can win if you blow the top off the place with your SP, which Ryan did!

Happy for Ryan and Richard. I hope Ryan really work on his skating skills.

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

BIG QUESTION; Will the Committee select Jeremy for Worlds and send Ross off to 4CC?

Whom do you think would make the strongest team for International Skating?

 

[Violet Bliss]

I'm not impressed with Bradley's clowning. Jeremy had the most beautiful and sophiscated program and skating. Too bad he blew it on the jumps.

I don't see any American man with a medal hope.

 

[gmyers]

Bradley was really funny talking about missing quads but hittting the 3As!!

 

[tae04]

None of the top 3 have a chance of finishing top 6 at worlds.

Nice factoid, gmyers, thanks for bring that up! And IIRC Zhenya hired Bradley for his KOI, which was unfortunately cancelled, so he does like him, which is FAB!

 

[lavender]

I'm sure the usfsa don't care and will send 1-3 finishers.

 

[jan]

Ryan had the worst skating skills by far of all of the men tonight. As well his levels for the spins were not there. Where did he get the points? Sympathy votes for sure.

 

[gmyers]

Will the USFSA try to bribe Lysacek to go to worlds? LOL LOL

 

[#1Kerryfan]

Well I think they'd be better off sending Jeremy, but they probably will send Richard and Ross.

 

[Serious Business]

Re Ryan Bradley, what the heck with those limp-wristed, sissy movements? Were they supposed to be charming and funny? I don't think so. He's just adding stereoptyped that skating is for sissy. Hate the program! And suckie skate to win the title, totally NOT deserving the win.

Oh lawdy. Did you not hear the dozens of times the theme of the program is announced? He's skating to Mozart and referencing the film Amadeus. He is portraying a FOP, not the other f word. Mozart was a huge foppity fop of a fop, but he was vigorously heterosexual. And considering that Mozart was famously flamboyant in life, it's likely accurate. It doesn't diminish the fact that Mozart is one of the most talented and revered human beings that ever lived. He just happened to take life and wrist holds not very seriously.
