2016 US Nationals Senior Men SP

[ruffledgrouse]

The beginning of Nathan's program was eaten by IN, but it came back for the fun part :dance:

That was a floppy illusion spin, though...

 

[Bumdid]

And was it even planned or did he tack the 3T on after missing it on the 4S? The planned program has him with a 4S-3T

He tacked it because of the shaky 4s landing, I think

 

[s_parks]

did something happen to the spin?

Keeping his head enough to be able to tack it onto the 4T is even more impressive!

Is anyone else on the Korean stream getting only sound? :scratch:

 

[Bumdid]

A bit messy at parts but slay a bit U.S's version of Jin Boyang

Nathan Chen~ Two quads and 3A (hand down)! That should put him in the running! Apparently that's the first two quad short at US nationals!

Red Michael Jackson style top, keeps the character well.

Great job, Nathan! Not perfect, but pretty great. He really threw away some point on the flying sit spin, though. He could have broken 50 points in TES if he'd gotten a level 3 or 4.

Chen will probably be the leader for the next two hours....

Amazing!

GOE is factored, IIRC

PCS is factored. GOE points are assigned different values for different elements and GOE for quads are now +/- 4.

No, his illusion is just more Pogorilaya than Sotnikova

 

[MoonlightSkater]

86.33 for Nathan!

Noooo I missed Chen. ;-;

Hopefully there will be videos. /stalks youtube

I'm not sure about Jason petitioning for worlds if there are 3 great skates by the top 3. say it's Aaron, Rippon and Chen, in any order, who ya gonna boot? And especially if they all have quads??

Same link as yesterday. Clean no viruses. https://livehouse.in/channel/421020

The jumps have potential, but I'm just not sold yet. It's just not grabbing me.

 

[Icey]

I am getting neither video nor sound, just a black screen. Is this the correct link https://livehouse.in/channel/421020 ?

yes, sometimes you have to reload

Now that Nathan has done a two-quad SP, I'm very curious to see if Max will do the same. I hope so!

Chen can go to Junior Worlds then. But if, and only IF, Jason is healthy...I'd hate to see him rush back.
