Surely this is R rated for Golden skate.
If you consider politics R rated?

You have a dirty mind. DeepThroat is the source of the Watergate scandal.

Have you looked at her other skaters? They are all mediocre, to put it nicely. I don't think Kori is a good technical coach at all. What is a coach there for if not to help the skater improve? They clearly have a close relationship, but sometimes that isn't enough. It's like being coached by your parents, they may love you more than anyone but that doesn't mean they are good jump coaches (see: Andrew Torgashev). His jumps have been regressing for awhile and I don't see how that is going to change if he doesn't try a different tactic.

I agree with all of what you said but I'd still be sad not to see him at the Olympics...
I hope that he gets worlds.

We are but to thank Jimmy Ma for going viral and showing the general public how cool FS is! He might get even more views than Evgenia Medvedeva's Sailor Moon because everyone knows that song (unfortunately)

Indeed getting Ross minerd would be its own verb. At what point should here be a golden skate user manual created with commonly used words and their definitions?
Carrots
Nagasu'd
Getting served a salad
Ross miner'd could be an epic phrase. Kind of like getting Rock Ross'd.
I don't blame you.
D**pThr**t was extremely famous in the 1980s and 1990s to mean 'who is your secret source' because no knew who he was. But after it was revealed to be Mark Felt in 2005, the term and the mystery that is associated with it dwindled.
I have changed my mind on this. If the USFSA doesn't go with the three medalists, then Adam should replace Vincent. Adam definitely has a strong body of work. Vincent's is less impressive and, since he has bronze at Nationals and Ross has silver, I think Adam should replace Vincent for the Olympics. If the federation wants to give Vincent more experience, then send him to Worlds in place of Ross.

I don't think he has a case to get Worlds. I think he'll get 4CC. I think he needs to slay there and then reset for next season. I expect he'll continue at least for one year -- and I think the field is such that he has good shot at making a world team next season. Much of the field will (thinking Grant, Adam, Ross maybe Max) retire. If all those guys are gone, basically you just have Vincent and Nathan left.
I know Jason is "old" compared to those two, but he's 23. Patrick, Javier certainly opted to continue.

Maybe just don't tell people he won't be at the olympics if they ask. We can say something like "well you'll have to watch to find out" and then they will be forced to watch figure skating. By the time they realize he isn't there, they will be hooked on! We'll have converted them. They will go bed at night and see 3 turns behind their eyelids. Maybe they'll find some skaters they love and decide they need to know their fate. Eventually they'll feel like they're carrying this new obsession all by themselves, and kind of feel lonely. At that point we can tell them about Goldenskate. By then there will be no turning back, because this community is irresistibly fun.
There is no end to what can be accomplished here.

I think that would be a mistake. They need Adam on the World team to keep three spots. Adam on both teams. Replace Zhou with Miner for the Olympics and replace Miner with Zhou for Worlds.

Could not agree more Vincent should not even be in the equation we left off that Olympic team

I'm not sure if they are more difficult but they do look better to me than the "ordinary" ones (and at the very least he does both unlike many skaters who almost exclusively do ordinary crossovers as transitions). You don't like them?
But he does a variety of transitions, no? Take a look at the twizzles, spread eagles, turns, and especially that entrance into the camel spin after the step sequence:gclap: :gclap: :gclap:
Oh, yes, I like his transitions. It's just that he sometimes looks like he's trying to catch a bus with these crossovers [not always
].My favourite program of his is the New York State of mind SP, I found it pretty brilliantly choreographed, and he had some success with it.
Why can't he? Nationals has the most weight in the criteria and he was second. Vincent has one challenger series medal and he won Junior Worlds. Do those low tier medals plus a bronze outweigh a silver at the big event? I think at most it's a tie, so Ross should go the Olympics and Vincent to Worlds. Vincent needs more experience. If he is the real deal, he will get another shot at the Olympics. Let's face it, the only US male skater who has a chance at a medal at the Olys is Nathan. So it doesn't matter where Ross ends up. It does matter at Worlds, which is why Adam needs to be on the World team. And Adam's strong showing on the GP and other Fall events means he should be on the Olympic team, too.
