This will probably be the worst 1-2 finish for US Men in how long?

There's no way this is 170+.....

That's why I said not past Javi. I thought he would have gotten more for his TES. Especially for those jumps.

Max just punched his ticket to the Olympics. With ~240 combined, he can compete.

He did win bronze at 4CC though?

And I didn't think he deserved it.

Why don't you send me a message? I'm curious why...but don't want to muck up this thread.

I think Takahito Mura has good 3As.

Mura has gorgeous jumps. So clean, so high.
Next season, he might keep both Kozuka and Oda at bay.

Yes, but I've been predicting that Max Aaron would eventually hit the boards some time in his career on a 4Sal or 3Axel landing. He gets a lot of length on his jumps and places them right in those corners...

Would you give the second 3A positive GOE? I would, but I'm curious.

Anyway, the USA gets two slots for next year.

Mura was beautiful. Wow.

Not that there was much doubt, but the US still has 2 spots. Too bad the US doesn't have two good male skaters.

True. Max can finish no worse than 10th, Ross now worse than 15th = 25. 25<28 = two spots.

Good job for Mura. Much better than his first worlds. He really just pops up for his axels

So, if Aaron out-PCS' Mura, we can riot, yes?

Not my business, But Max Aaron seems to have too short legs, or it is just the way his pants are designed?

Click to expand...

Stop being so nasty about someone's body shape. Max obviously has short limbs and he's not tall either, but he's well-proportioned and a strong competitor with talent.

I can't get any of the skating feeds, so I'm so grateful to everyone for giving all the details. But I'm so nervous for the final group that I don't even know if I have the courage to watch the comments on this thread! I'll have to eat extra chocolate to fortify myself.
