2016 US Nationals Senior Men SP

[MoonlightSkater]

I remember watching Emmanuel and Nathan as super talented mini novices. It's fun to watch them throwing quads and skating with character on the senior level.

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

Isn't the +GOE for quads still 3, just -GOE was increased to -4?

And Icenetwork is having issues, so the stream is being affected on the site as well.

Thanks for the play-by-play, Layback11.

I'm watching Nathan's novice exhibition and giggling at how adorable he was and wow-ing at how he's throwing quads now.

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

He won't. That would require him to do a quad toe, and he's not bringing that back yet.

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

Suppose he outskates one of Rippon or Aaron? Honestly, as much as I love Adam's skating, Chen seems less risky if he's hitting.

Same youtuber as last night is uploading some of the men's SP. For now he has Johnson's SP up.

Thanks. I was wondering if it was my computer.

No. My stream is also very shaky.

You're probably correct. I assumed equal reward and penalty for an element. So, ISU decided quad mistakes should be penalized more than good qualities rewarded.

Not gonna happen if he's top 3.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I love it when the men wear high waisted pants. Especially when they're as shiny as Jimmy's.

 

[karne]

It's only the short program. Let's see how he goes with an extra 30 seconds in the free skate.

But he didn't fully hit tonight and the score he got here can be achieved without one quad. His 4T combo was beautiful though.

the hell is that music?? that's so epic

Yes. I think it was part of a compromise on the contentious issue of how much credit you should get if you attempt a quad but fall.

What's going on with the tech box? What does "MA" stand for?

 

[ruffledgrouse]

That was a lot of fun! Shame about the pop... and the fall... and the music...

but I'll definitely be putting that on my rewatch list!

That's his last name.
