2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Men SP

I'm loving Emmanual's Disco Stu look.

...uh, what that a quad? When did he get that?!

Hang on to that spin, my beautiful butterfly!

My word, he had some minor problems on his jumps and needs more transitions, but he's A LOT better than I remember him being!

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

I'd say Aleksei/Vincent/Andrew right now. But I'm waiting until after the FS.

Emmanuel Savary:

Solid 4S to start! Turn-out of the 3A, could be < (looks like it). Good comeback with 3F+3T(rippon). Could have more intensity and passion to this Spanish-themed fiery music. Footwork could use deeper curves and more difficult turns. But overall, good performance in this final group.

Yess Emmanuel!!! He did not disappoint!

 

[Seren]

Emmanuel was impressive. Great senior nationals debut!

Very nice skate by Savary - excellent quad sal, nice combo, good spins and interpretation. I am now a fan.

Will always think of Crone & Poirier with this version of Eleanor Rigby.

It is Killing me that I can't see these programs...:curse:

Seems like Kevin Shum has decided to play safe and ditch the quad and the 3A. Curious to how this strategy works out.

 

[100yen]

I really don't like covers like this...

 

[Biellmann]

Okay so this is the first time I am seeing Emmanuel Savary. I just have to say that it is VERY refreshing to come across an African American male figure skater.

Um, all people on this planet are africans, what do you mean?

Kevin Shum:

Only a 2A but clean. Strong and high 3Lz+3T. Solid 3F to follow. Could have faster spins overall, but has relatively strong edgework that's well-timed and fits the tone of Eleanor Rigby. He'll need a 3A eventually to compete, but clean nonetheless. Another good debut in the senior ranks at Nationals.

Emmanuel was impressive. Great senior nationals debut!

It is not Emmanuel's senior Nats debut.

He was at senior Nats last year.

Didn't see his skate just now. But happy to hear that he did well.

Ashley continues to get even more hilarious on Twitter while live tweeting.

Nice spins and artistry from Kevin. I like.
