2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Men SP

I just don't understand why so many skaters want to use that Sam Smith song. It's not that great of a song.

I think because it's slow and monotonous so they don't really have to have great musicality to skate to it. Which makes it more irritating that Jason couldn't pick something else because he does have musicality. And Rohene should be able to find something more special than that overplayed song.

Jason's new top reminds me of what the Irish driver wore on Downton Abbey.

He would need to get the minimum TES for 4CC at a senior competition first. And I don't think he has ever competed as a senior internationally.

He was assigned to GoldenSpin but had to withdraw.

They could send him to the Bavarian Open, which is the same weekend as 4CCs. They had to do that for Tyler Pierce once for JWs TES last year.

Hot damn, that quad was pretty, Emmanuel.

And then yet another 3A stumble.

I am surprised he got that 4Sal with some a slow entry.

Vincent did compete his SP at Golden Spin. But only his SP.

I like it too.

This music isn't dynamic or 'strong' enough for Savary

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Ugh now I can't decide who to send to Junior Worlds. What drama

 

[desertskates]

Wow! I've never seen Emmanual skate, but me likey. That 4S was marvelous!

 

[topaz emerald]

Go emanuel go!!!!!

 

[Yatagarasu]

Pity about the 3A but that was really solid!

 

[Layback11]

Wow, that was a great skate! The opening quad sal was gorgeous and the footwork used the music well.

Man... I remember seeing Emanuel when he was just a kid a Michael Weiss' show. He struggled a little bit in juniors and I'm so so happy to see him here at senior Nats!!!

 

[frida80]

Yes! That's how you start your 1st senior nationals!

 

[LongTimeLurker]

I've never seen Emmanuel before, but am loving his strength and grace!
