2022 U.S. Nationals: Senior Men's Free Skate

[Makkachin]

Oh that's too bad...I want to know what's actually wrong with his skate though, it can't be just a problem with the laces? Maybe he does have an injury

 

[moonvine]

Also, the Olympic Channel commentator is incredibly annoying, constantly chatting during the performances.

I love him. I VPN out of my own country to get him.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Is there going to a resurfacing before the final group?

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I have to say, I like Misha's vibe at the boards. He seems calm and supportive.

He's the Uzbekistani chill version of Stephane. Well-dressed, relaxed, huge personality, and makes me feel calm. (and also has great choreo)

 

[karne]

He gets no credit for anything? He's just finishing his program? Poor guy. So sad. Take a bow, Yaro.

With the deductions for interruption in excess, time violations and lack of elements there would be nothing left to give credit to.

 

[Amei]

Todd tested positive and couldn't come.

oh, okay. Misha's a good artist but Yaroslav needs jumps and that wasn't Misha's forte

 

[elektra blue]

This is so sad... but how on earth did this happen again??

the exact same problem!

I’m not even sure I want the last group to skate.

Truly

Is there going to a resurfacing before the final group?

I don´t think so, there was a ice resurfacing after the first group and it was only 3 skaters, it seems they rather would have the ice resurfacing before the 2 last groups..

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Aah no Moulin Rouge

Jackie Wong said he could see Yaro's whole boot shaking and he had no support... so maybe not injury?

 

[moonvine]

OH NO I didn't think of that!

Believe it or not I’m very cognizant of it. All the surviving pairs after 1/3 of the field WD got envelope funding.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I'm still in pajamas and starting to wonder if I should've gotten dressed for this or if I am in fact treating this event with exactly the gravity it deserves.

 

[moonvine]

Is there going to a resurfacing before the final group?

No.

 

[Joe Mendoza]

the exact same problem!

who doesn't love order of operations - Multiplication then Division then Addition then Subtraction... yay math!

 

[moonvine]

Well you go Liam!!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

YES LIAM! NAIL THOSE JUMPS! I love seeing juniors-to-seniors who have been off-circuit for forever burst out of nowhere and then have THE skate and he's so happy awwww.

Good skate from Liam!

 

[penniavaswen]

Great job, especially after the drama!

Question about touching the ice during the spin -- what happens there, scoring-wise or why did he do that?

 

[16Olympics]

I was going to say Liam was going to slay after those first 2 jumps but didn't want to jinx him. He slayed. Nicely done.
