2023 U.S. Nationals Jr. Men's Free Skate

Great flow on the runout of that jump. Spectacular.

As much as I admire the daring young men with their quads, I've really only seen a handful that were this beautiful.

Off the top of my head, a 4Z from Nathan Chen at World's the year he skated to Land of All, the 4Z from Kolyada at CoC one year, another 4Z from Vincent some time or other... but not many more.

This one is very special.

Congrats to Lucas for the Gold medal!

So, three spots? Nice! Don’t forget they sometimes pick a skater skating Seniors that is age eligible

Age-eligible that has competed primarily on the Junior circuit. Off the top of my head, that’s Annis and Martynov. If any one of those two do really well at Nationals, then they might be chosen over Sanchez. Yampolsky is going to be named to Junior Worlds regardless. He medalled at Junior Nationals (only a point away from Silver), did well on the JGP circuit and qualified for JGPF.

So, Sanchez’s chances are slim, unless those two score less?

Thanks for the response. This is exactly the information I was looking for.

I wouldn't say Jacob's chances are "slim".

Lucas of course is a given. I agree that Yampolsky, having qualified for JGPF, will be selected for Junior Worlds. Jacob had a rough season, but Annis and Martynov did not have the best seasons either. I am not certain that USFS would compare scores across comps, and I don't know that USFS has criteria for junior worlds.

I follow the junior men, and I don't have a clue.
