You can leak this info to Olympics committee and they will ban this costume for the no-advertisement rule.

didn't Nathan used to wear a lot of Adidas before he got a Nike sponsorship?

 

[Heleng]

if Nathan can skate like that while under the weather, well just imagine! Hopefully his axel will get a little better by Oly.

I don't get the surprise over Nathan's Vera Wang costume being simple and understated.

After all, it worked for the last US Olympic champion.

Nathan doesn't strike me as a frills and sequins and embroidery and puffy sleeves and all that craziness slapped onto an outfit. He lets the outfit be secondary to the skating, because that's how HE wants to skate.

Well, fair-- but if that's the goal, the black button down and slacks he had earlier in the season did the job fine. There was a lot of talk and hype about the Vera Wang costumes, and I do prefer simplicity in a men's costume, but it's still a bit of a let-down that it's not more distinctive. I don't dislike the costume, but I am probably just missing the old look more.

No green yet....wow

I would highly suggest Torgashev move to ice dance if he weren't competing for the US. Those ss are ungodly.

The problem is that the outfit really stands out. I am unsure whether it is a wise choice because it does not show straight lines in skating movements. It looks great when Mr. Chen is upright but as he skates the lines appear bent and sloped in unflattering ways.

Poor Torgashev has every element under review. I really love him.

 

[Mathman]

For those of us with dead streams...Can you give us a score update? What was Nathan's score?

104.45

 

[Heleng]

I hope Scott has a great fs to close out his competitive career.

 

[TCAngel18]

I got it on my IPhone by downloading Puffin browser and enabling desktop version.

 

[mrrice]

104! He is obviously in the lead lol

Holy Cow!!!! Thank you........:agree:

 

[Skater Boy]

Reminds me of Slutskaya costumes.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

 

[Jammers]

Good to see Andrew nail that 3axel and skate well after his struggles he has so much talent.

 

[zschultz1986]

Yeah, the rumour was started by TSL, go figure.

Girl, bye. Evan works for Vera. Evan's whole life is black and white. Evan was a skater. The leap isn't as big as you'd like to think.

I know. He is such a beauty.

 

[s_parks]

Still a way better skate than the disasters that he's had too many of recently.

I know....the JGPF. :'(

 

[GGFan]

Sorry but why can Kaori and Andrew's choreographer figure out that the presto requires a change in movement but not Marie France? See what I did there?

I like Andrew's style. I'll be looking for him in future years.

 

[Crossover]

Andrew! He was floating on the ice. His steps and SS are just to die for and are why I can't let him out of my watchlist.
