2018 US Championships Sr Men SP

[Yatagarasu]

Ah man I hate this stuff. But his face says it all. His goal just went slipping through his fingers. Sigh.

Might as well karne is not here. She would have been hysterical.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Don't worry yet. At this rate the only person to score >80 will be Chen.

 

[Lissy]

That's actually a better score than I was expecting

 

[OS]

Where's karne? Her god son is here!

lol just how old do you think she is...

Les Mis: let him live ... bring him home ... one day more, among the greatest of emotional lyrics in a short program... yet i feel absolutely nothing...

Hey was this suppose to be Mirai's first choice, or was Max' FS?

 

[labgoat]

I feel bad for Max. You can tell he wanted it so badly and either pushed too hard or rushed in eagerness to take his shot. I hope for him to take his time and have an awesome redemption skate in the free like Kurt Browning did at the Olympics.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Nerves got him. Which is a shame, because all the things that didn't involve jumping are MUCH improved. But man the way he picked into that second jump, I thought, Metaphor For Digging A Hole For Yourself.

Well let's hope he loosens up for the FS. Because the components really are much improved.

 

[mrrice]

He NEEDED to go clean to have a chance. I’m GUTTED.

I agree....He needed a clean SP to have a chance at beating Adam Rippon. His Free is nowhere near Adam's Arrival Of The Birds.....Even if Adam bombs his SP, it's not going to help Max after that...

 

[tosca]

omg his face in the KNC. my heart is broken.

 

[TCAngel18]

Deng, that’s actually not a half bad score considering. I think they’re leaving it up to him to skate a blinder in the LP.

 

[DexterK]

at least he is attractive... poor Max.

 

[evasorange]

Honestly if we have a night of subpar skating that could be enough to get him in the final group...

 

[invisiblespiral]

Max.

(Not his fan, but I hope he rebounds.)

 

[GGFan]

I'm not sure how one does MIT and full time skating. Impressive!

 

[#1Kerryfan]

I don't think 74.95 can get him in the Top 3... I just wanted him on the team

 

[Jammers]

I'm expecting a spatfest tonight the pressure is going to be too much for some of these skaters.

 

[TCAngel18]

I agree....He needed a clean SP to have a chance at beating Adam Rippon. His Free is nowhere near Adam's Arrival Of The Birds.....Even if Adam bombs his SP, it's not going to help Max after that...

I think he probably couldn’t have caught Adam, but definitely to keep up with Jason and Vincent.

US Nationals: where dreams go to die.

Been pretty subpar so far, but still early I suppose!

 

[OS]

Poor guy, he skated much better earlier in the season. Think the pressure got to him.
