2021 Skate America: Men's Short Program

[BlissfulSynergy]

A lot of skaters are looking pretty rusty, but well it is the opening of the GP season after a really rough, and unusual pandemic year.

 

[Jontor]

It's US Baseball

Ah. Well how anyone can watch that and American football is beyond me...

 

[Seven Sisters]

Elektra’s son electrifying the.crowd with his, um, “unconventional” jump technique! On the ones he landed, anyway

 

[chasingneverland]

Remember when the first two skates were so good and we were so hopeful...

 

[Lamente Ariane]

elektra, if you're reading this, just remember: this event never happened!

DANIEL WITH A NOSEBLEED. WHY. WHY. WHY.

I'm switching over to watch my Astros book their ticket to the World Series, I need a break from the skating catastrophe (my apologies to the Red Sox fans on the board)

I was wondering why I wasn't hearing my dad in the next room, he gets very loud when the Sox are playing well

 

[Jontor]

Not your day Daniel. Let's have a redemption skate tomorrow.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Yikes - Another disaster skate with bad falls! His jumping technique is really strange. I do not like this program for him either; he does not have the posture and body line for it. I really do appreciate his creativity with the spins though. Most of the spins that the men do look the same, so it's nice to see something different.

That seems like a long time ago

Something (?) was definitely happening there choreographically and with those spin positions but I'm just not sure what

 

[EdgeCall]

Great. Just great. Nathan, take it easy. All you need is to skate around for 2:50 a little and you have already won.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Dear Mr. Chen, please bring out your meta-humanness and actually manage to skate clean, or I'll forever regret watching this event and wasting two hours of my life. Please.

It's Benoit choreo.

I gave up on the game for skating awhile ago, but if things had started to go better, I would have heard noise from downstairs, too.

That's just a normal day for Benoit choreo, right?

 

[MariaGold]

Come on Nathan you can do it!

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

I didn't understand a word of this...

LOL! Not a knowledgeable baseball fan apparently.

I used to watch baseball religiously and devotedly back-in-the-day, but no more. Got to make choices with the outrageous streaming and formerly cable tv expenses. I don't see tennis anymore either, outside of highlights on YouTube.

 

[Minz]

Ah. Well how anyone can watch that and American football is beyond me...

I guess that's just how it is here in America...

Jimmy in 3rd now and I am not ok with this.

I am sure he is super happy and okay with his placement. if anyone had told him : you will skate in the second group for the LP before the event, he would have been thrilled.
