Why Nam's 2nd jump 4T gets -4.00 without a fall.

That's what I'm wondering too.

Me--OWWWW!

Weird and awful that the music doesn't change when he "falls asleep"...

 

[MaiKatze]

I wouldn't say that... 2014 taught us to never sleep on D-10. First of all because he often peaks at the right time and second of all because he doesn't like it and feels smothered.

You never know, but I find it very hard to believe it'll happen. Because this year MANY more skaters have to mess up for him to get anywhere near the top scores, which he never got in the first place.

Ooof, Nam. Not the skate he wanted. I'm still hoping for a big break out on his part.

... are they throwing ramen at him?

 

[kevinVchicago]

Did they throw Nam some hamburgers? What are those? [emoji23]

 

[Dr. Jenn]

A few bobbles, but there were some nice moments too. I'm always amazed at how Nam is able to get jumps completed with so little speed. I can see small improvements in his speed and skating skills in the past few months, which is definitely an area that needed work. Keep it up, Nam!

Almost assuredly some sort of noodle

I thought this was better than at Canadian Nats, but I'm still glad Keegan got the trip to the Olympics.

 

[Crossover]

Nam's 3A seems to be bigger than before. I can't say I'm a fan of his skating, but he has improved a lot. I expect Nam will be at Worlds as Patrick might retire right after the Olympics.

Savage.

 

[beki]

I agree with 4th in the free

 

[xeyra]

Go Misha!

 

[jillredhand]

Well, all my moose-blooded compatriots, let's all take a moment to imagine that the event gets cancelled right now, and we have a Canadian sweep of the podium!

 

[ancientpeas]

Misha!!!!

I really love Nam... that part of the program is really confusing though, no?
