2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Men SP

Jimmy Ma ultra cool and selling it big time. Hesitated a bit to long taking off into the axel and didn't have room to check out since he seemed to close to boards. Great costume too.

Jimmy Ma: Turn-out of 3A. Squeaked out that 3T in the 3Lz+3T combo. Wish he could emphasize that heavy beat of the Eminem medley more. Wish he picked something that wasn't Slim Shady but, hey, he brought it in the performance at least. He performed hip-hop better than most of the ice dancers...

 

[gravy]

I now need a pair or ice dance team to do a program to Eminem's Stan and act out the music video.

Jimmy Ma started scrappy but he can skate hip hop better than 97% of the ice dancers this year.

 

[Eislauf]

Jimmy's got a cool, powerful sexy swagger about him.

Japanese feed is choppy but I just saw Jimmy Ma wearing a leather jacket and performing to Slim Shady.....

Dennis is 31

All 3 completed elements are under review already. Oh Shotaro. So much potential, so many difficulties.

Annnnnnnnnnnd then he popped the flip to a double. Sigh.

but where is the technical?

Shotaro has really gotten tall
Perhaps next season, when he finds his center of gravity again

 

[el henry]

who is his coach?

If you mean Dennis Phan, I believe Doug Mattis.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Shotaro went damn near horizontal on that 3A attempt. Nnnnn, and now the other jumps are failing him...

He has nice expression, but I'm really kinda over tangos.

Ok is this what the boxes are?
Green - positive GOE
Yellow - under review
Red - negative GOE

I'm confused

Omori: Fall on 3A, not rotated enough. Fine 3Lz+3T. Only a 2F - invalid. Choreography could have more tension and intensity to match the tango. Just very light when it should be the opposite for that. Don't think this was the music for him. Sad to see him continue to struggle after his junior years.

 

[mrrice]

My feed is completely frozen. It's too frustrating to watch...

 

[desertskates]

Shotaro just seemed way overwhelmed by that music. It's a very busy tango.

 

[labgoat]

Omori skated a rather generic skate and didn't seem into the ice. Seemed to take a deep curve to try to grip the ice prior to the axel and it messed with his timing.

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Omori should do pairs for Japan. Has great qualities but not the jumps, is tall enough for Japanese standards, and the Japanese Fed is dying for some pairs skaters, so why not give it a consideration?

Yep that's it. I'm not sure if Yellow is also +0 GOE, but that's the gist of it.

Yes, that's correct.
