Also, Matthew Neumann from Canada won the bronze medal with a score 210+. A score of over 210 is required by Skate Canada to be sent to International assignments. So, it looks like we might see him sent to some international assignments next year. Messing (will retire ), Orzel, Gogolev, Chiu, Sadovsky and now Neumann have surpassed this threshold this year. Congrats Matthew!

Congrats to Mone for a gold medal (more ranking points for her); that fall on the 3S was unexpected.
Also, congrats to Starr for gaining a silver medal here over Ava. Was confused with her layout. Could have been a better performance. Another 180+ result for her. I think she solidified herself as USA #4 this year

I’m glad he won….but that’s not a very good score.

Agree, but I hope that having an international win under his belt (and I acknowledge it's a minor title) will help with confidence, or whatever it is that is holding him back.

He's got to get it together soon. There are a lot of young US Men who will be fighting for assignments, and if I were USFSA, I'd be looking upon them favorably. Jimmy will be 28 in the fall... the Fed will be looking towards the future very soon.

At least he has a bye to Nats and envelope money. He had a back problem after 4CCs.

Does this win help him get 2 GP spots?

250 points moves Jimmy Ma into 22nd on the World Rankings. However, there are several men just below him on the WR who are going to Worlds and have the potential to pass him if they skate well: Nika Egadze, Mikhail Selevko, Mikhail Shaidorov, Andreas Nordeback, Boyang Jin.

If Jimmy is still in the top 24 after Worlds, he would likely get 2 GP spots.
He is #33 on the Seasons Best list, so no hope there.

Ugh. Maybe USFS can send him somewhere else?

Summer competitions are coming soon
