2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Men FS

[100yen]

If the coach works on Andrew's facial expression it will improve the program 90%
Very stone-faced.

Ashley's latest tweets:

That moment when you see your coach walking into the arena and you are scarfing down a chocolate chip cookie and you make eye contact

Now I've seen some deep v's in my day and let me tell you.. this is a DEEP V



Edit: Now I really want chocolate chip cookies.:dev2:

Here is the link for the discussion on Frank and Gracie.

Thanks. THis thread is probably going to get debatey enough as it is, with the men's scores. No need to add more to it.

This music can't decide if it wants to be instrumental or not..

 

[matcha]

Late to the party and it's still reasonable hours here so I won't fall asleep like I did during the ladies lol. If only there was a way to mute Tara.

Come on Torgashev, Galileo this program please.

 

[badknees]

Hey folks, for those that watch later and follow this thread for the mens program, it' s really nice if we just keep it to the mens so it doesn't get so incredibly long to wade through after the fact. Done this many times myself.

And yes Tara talks way tooooo much during the programs. I wish there was a way to impart this to her.

I don't know what to feel about Torgashev's music... I feel like it kinda doesn't suit his lyrical style... good job on the quad!

 

[silverfoxes]

Sigh...there is no drought in Russian men's skating at Andrew's level - he got beat by a whole bunch of them on the JGP. And I say that as an Andrew fan.

 

[s_parks]

Ughhh pop and no -3 combo... still a better skate than earlier this season. Johnny just spoke my thoughts about the music, haha. Hope he continues to get stronger and regain confidence.

Here we go here we go... I would like Jason do justice to his FS for once, it is a great program. Come on Jason.

 

[Plisskin]

Everything about Andrew, from the costume to the odd music choice is so Russian, lol. Good job on the quad though. I can't wait to see him improve.

Damn some of you are nitpicking on Tara Lipinski's commentary hard! What did she ever do? Oh right, Nagano… Time to pull an Elsa and Let It Go!

Honestly after watching CBC and Eurosport broadcast, it's beyond annoying for someone to talk soooooo much during a program! It little to do with Nagano. And some of her comments are very rude.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Lol @ Terry calling out Johnny and Tara

He's right, you don't want your TV commentator to be a Debbie Downer about things like music choice- about tech, yes, to inform the laymen at home. But they still need to pump up the viewers. Say what you will about Scott Hamilton, he was a master at that

 

[100yen]

OH MY GOSH this fluff piece on Nathan has me PUMPED UP. "I'm all the way up!"

Now you mentioned it, the costume is indeed very Plushy.

What was up with that weird version of Bohemian Rhapsody mix? The first part was mostly orchestral, but occasionally Freddie Mercury's voice would be piped in to sing "MAMA!" Wackiness!

Torgashev skates with beautiful speed and lines that had me slightly more awake. But he sure fizzled out hard as the program went on, painfully obvious drop in stamina. Great lines and great speed but terrible stamina? That Soviet pedigree is obvious even if the commentators didn't point it out.

 

[KwanIsALegend]

I hope Ross has the skate of his life.

 

[Heleng]

That was fantastic! Loved his energy and commitment to the program. Only 15? Wow, I think he has great potential.

 

[gravy]

The USFS is really salivating over Nathan Chen.
