2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Men FS

[princessalica]

I CAN'T EVEN RIGHT NOW.

FIVE. F*CKING. QUADS.

WHAT IS HAPPENING/

212.08 FS for a total of 318.47? He seriously just won by over 60 points. Oh. My. God.

ETA: ...oops. I forgot Vincent was still a thing. Skating after that has GOT to be hardd.

The fact that his free skate score alone is a fantastic score for ladies... thats a lot of points

I think sending Nathan and Vincent to Worlds would pretty much guarantee 3 spots in the Olympics for the U.S. men.

 

[Bonnie F]

Nathan or Jason to worlds?

Pretty sure Nathan is going.

Way to skate under so musch hype and pressure. The new standard i for every other male skater is here. Congrats Nathan.

The hype next nationals is gonna be insufferable. Hope his team prepares him well for the media barrage.

 

[Heleng]

Impressive jumps!

Given that Vincent does not have the minimum TES for worlds and would likely be at the Bavarian Open while 4CC is going on, and Jason likely would be there... why not wait till that event to name the second spot?

 

[xibsuarz]

Nats are official for that?

Not for the ISU, but my, if he skates like this at 4 CC or Worlds he will definitely join the official club.
I was blown away by all those quads! And was the 4S planned or did he just go for it out of the blue?
Congratulations Nathan on that National title

Nice for Vincent, but I think Junior Worlds is the best place for him this year.

And with that, I'm off to go out to eat! All this watching other people being active made me hungry.

 

[beki]

nobody can beat Nathan if he skates like this. Not even Patrick or Yuzuru can.

I'm not a Patrick Chan fan, but I bless him for forcing Yuzu and Javi to have good programs. Now that point wise Nathan doesn't need to, I'm a little worried about what we're going to see in men's skating.

 

[Mrs. P]

So if they decide to send Vincent to Worlds, he will have to go to Bavarian Open to get the senior TES.

 

[mintx]

I want Jason to go to worlds and just kill it.

For those confused, the music is from Casablanca and his costume inspiration was Humphrey Bogart's character Rick. https://bamfstyle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/casabogietux-cl1-jkt1.jpg

Wow, Vincent really held it together under what must be incredible pressure. Not perfect, but really good.

Edit: I have a LOT of confidence in the ability to get back 3 spots for next year...

 

[breadstal]

Vincent yasssssss congrats!

 

[andromache]

If Vincent goes to Worlds, Raf and Tammy Gambill are coaching the entire singles team for Worlds.

Who will score better at Worlds, healthy Jason or Vincent? I'd prefer seeing Jason at Worlds, but the priority is on trying to get those spots back. I'm not sure what to think.

OK, now that the men are over, head over to the Gracie thread in "the edge" thread.

Apparently Frank did not tell Gracie first!.

Here's looking at you kid.

 

[Mrs. P]

Overall a very satisfying last group. Even Ross was really entertaining to watch.

Nathan just won by FIFTY. FIVE. POINTS.

I'm dead.
