Do Ross and Vincent even have a “body of work”?

Vincent has junior world gold, nationals silver last year. I don’t foresee them bumping off the silver medalist. Last year he was bumped, but it was a silver-bronze bumping. They won’t to a silver/4th bumping, but with Adam’s body of work, plus honestly past history, and consistent international scoring, I think Adam gets the nod.

Chinese fart guy just shut off the stream?? He’s probably rioting.

This one still working http://live.qq.com/10012776

That zipper is so distracting! It needs to go. First time I actually kind of like this program, even though I have no idea what he's trying to portray. It just seems so pretentious.

I think that switching it out with a black one would go a very long way.

Adam better grab his potato medal and slink over to the bar to meet up with Max and Ashley, likely half in the bag already, drowning their sorrows....

I think he may still have a chance when u consider Miner's lack of international standing and Adam's GP success this season

 

[lavender]

I love Jason and I wasn't nervous because it has been a weird season for him imo. Hasn't been the same since the injury. I didn't really expect him to make it anyway. However Adam...I just know. He's like Ashley...they never skate their best at nationals in a Olympic year.

 

[Mista Ekko]

What do they do though? GPF 5th and 6th are off the podium!

They send Rippon to Olympics and Zhou to Worlds
And give Jason 4CC and tell him to come back stronger

I would get it if they decide to go with Zhou for Olympics though

 

[Barb]

I finally understand the hype about nationals.

I do feel like even though he doesn't have as much of a body of work, Ross should get something for that skate. Vincent's young and will likely still be around in 2022. If the body of work gets Adam on the team, it should probably be him, Ross and Nathan.

Vincent is the reigning JW champ, 2017 silver medalist, got fourth in CoC and got a challenger medal. It’s actually pretty strong.

 

[college pat]

Congratulations Nathan Chen, Ross Miner, Vincent Zhou, adam rippon i think those are the top 4

 

[shiroKJ]

No, Yuzuru had 223, 20 with 126.12 TES and 97.08 PCS.

It really would have been a bit much...

:disapp: :angry1:

But that's another story for another thread.

Do Ross and Vincent even have a “body of work”?

Maybe a quarter body of work.

 

[silverfoxes]

I love Rippon but I would like the committee to invest in Zhou by sending him to the Olympics for a medal in 2022.
Rippon is just a sentimental choice but he has no chance for podium, while Zhou's experience at the Olympics is a leverage for the future.

I really don't understand this argument at all...what does it matter in 2022 if he went to the Olys this year or not? Who knows if he will still be around in 2022?

 

[Heleng]

Nathan is a ridiculous talent. Bravo! Oly gold is a reality, with or without the triple axel (though better with, obviously ).

 

[SarahSynchro]

You guys eat people's broken dreams for breakfast don't you.

That sounds like a steaming bowl of diarrhea to me.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Send Chen, Zhou, and Ma.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Update on the Chinese fart man of the qq stream fame: he switched channels to South Korean nationals.

 

[slider11]

the team better be Chen, Miner, and Rippon. Give 4CC to Zhou and Brown

I agree with this. Olympics/Worlds: Chen, Miner and Rippon. 4CCs: Zhou and Brown Although I frankly don't think Ross' "Crazy Little Love" program will garner high scores, if he hits those jumps he'll do ok (maybe rank 10-15). And Ross earned it. What a disaster for Adam and Jason.

 

[jkun]

Isn't that score higher then yuzu clean hope and legacy at last years worlds? Lol it was awesome but no way

No, Hanyu got 223 for his clean FS at worlds.

 

[chopinskate]

Send Chen, Zhou, and Ma.

Turn down for what?

The Olympics.
