Me too! He's a nice guy and a good skater. But it's time for him to concentrate on his post competitive career.(cross-posting from the retirement thread)
Sean Rabbitt has announced his retirement from competitive figure skating:

an engaging, energetic skater and performer who gave it his all every time he was on ice. I will miss him.
best of luck to Sean in the future
I adored that program, and I'm so glad I got to see it live. 
He will definitely be remembered as a skater who lit up the crowd.I love this interview with Sean Rabbitt almost as much as I love Sean. Very honest look at the sport in general and at his own career:

Some highlights:
"I don’t like the stigma of age in our sport. If there is one thing I have done as a skater, it is accomplish everything in my later years, my back half of my 20’s. .... I think the stigma of age is killing our sport, and throwing aside so many skaters that could be!"
"I hope that people will know me as the skater that skated for the real reasons; not for points or trophies, but for sheer enjoyment, because I never forgot what it feels like to love what I do. I want people to remember me as a skater who could light up a crowd (and still plan to do so) and embraced every experience as an opportunity to learn and shine"
One sad part: He didn't like the Tequila program and that's why he ditched it.

Hearing from Andrew is also very welcome. I always love watching him - even when there are mishaps - because he really has that difference.Andrew Torgashev Reinvests in Himself, Training During 2020-21 Season (Nov 19)

In a year of unknowns, Andrew Torgashev is betting on himself.
Much gratitude and respect to Sean Rabbitt -- who is a wonderful ambassador for skating.
A serendipitous conversation that I had with him played a large part in motivating me to make a habit of attending competitions instead of just following the sport from afar.
This iteration featured a 4Z and 3F-3T in the second half. The combo didn't look like he missed the 4F, it looked planned. But I bet he's looking at changing that later.
Completely agree. In the clip, it looks like he was trying to deliberately rotate less to make it a triple combo. I actually enjoy the long program choice of music. However, I do think that half of the time Nathan looks as if he is thinking too much about his dance movements or performance style (if that makes sense). So the whole thing feels a bit disconnected. Still, I think he was in the process of understanding that (rather ambiguous) lyrical piece and polishing the LP. He was even learning to play it in piano (IG story). Given the pandemic and all, I'll give him some credit because he always delivers something rather captivating in the end.
It's all a matter of preference, I know, but I think I've enjoyed his SPs the past three seasons more than the LPs. I admire him for stretching his musical vocabulary, but I feel like the piano music just isn't dramatic enough for my tastes. I need a little more umph.
Not gonna lie, I am surprised and tickled to think he might return to FS after his schooling at all
Not going to pretend this is even close to the worst of what COVID's done this year, but it did definitely derail Nathan's potentially epic fairy tale conclusion to his FS career (not to mention everyone else)... 
whatever happens next, I hope FS will stay a big part of his life, especially since as a prospective doctor in the US he has a lot of hard work ahead of him 
Not a single thing he's said is untrue.Team USA article on Jason Brown training in Toronto for US Nats
Of course comments from Jason, but also from Rohene, including this one:
“There are some people who love jumping, love doing quads — I was like that,” Ward said. “For Jason, he would rather perform and sell and do what he does really, really well. He can do quads, and he is working on them, but his type of skating is a feeling. It’s storytelling. I think it requires way more physicality and mental (ability), than the other way.”
Interesting to me for what Rohene says about himself loving jumps, as well as what he says about Jason. I tend to think of Rohene's artistry, because of his choreo, but he was one of the most athletically gifted skaters to take the ice. Sadly, he was never able to showcase those gifts in competition.
And what Rohene, an athletic jumper, says about the ability required to do what Jason does
