2018 US Championships Sr Men FS

I’ve been mistaken for Walt Whitman many times around here, just because of my beautiful poetic way of making eloquent statements. Some say it’s a curse, I consider it a gift....

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
Definitely a gift. One that I hope keeps on giving :).
 
But I'm not understanding how that is not sexist? Like, why not compare them to Yuzu, or Boyang, or another guy....

I am afraid that the way I am hearing it, it is still "nyah nyah, you should be ashamed that a *girl* beat you". And that is not cool at all:scratch2:

Because girls have lower tech content, and lower PCs factoring.
Its not "you should be ashamed that a *girl* beat you".
Its "you should be ashamed because *someone with 0.8 and 1.6 PCs factoring while you get 1 and 2, without a single quad and very likely without a 3A either* beat you"

Upd: only the PCs factoring gives men 24 !!! points advantage over a lady with identical skills.
Upd2: men also have +1 jumping pass
 
Okay, I'm back again since NBCSN looks like they are finally moving to live coverage...
 
Guys, I'm so nervous for everyone and I'm three timezones away.
I just want everyone to do well tonight:coffee:
 
Apparently Jason speaks Japanese! He's so big in Japan he actually learned the language.
I love when skaters try to learn other languages to communicate with fans. <3
 
I'm excited for Alex Johnson. I always love his skating.

(I mean I'm excited for everyone but particularly him.)
 
So NBCSN brings on Scott Hamilton to make me appreciate Tara and Johnny. Even in the rinkside discussion, he seems to think he needs to yell. Maybe he thinks they're paying him by the decibel.
