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

[Horsefeathers]

Maxim and Torgashev are out for blood!

 

[YuBluByMe]

OMG OMG OMG!! I nearly lost control and almost stood up while he was still spinning. I cannot believe this. This is the first time I’ve seen him do a free skate clean! And I was here to see it!!

 

[Seven Sisters]

Give him all the points. This is the kind of skating I live for!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Next year, Epica metal covers of classical? Or the Imperial March from Star Wars?

 

[GGFan]

I'm always wanting our 2nd tier men to step up and today they are!!! Love Andrew's speed, power, and edges. Love the passion he showed during the footwork--I just want him to present a little more before that.

 

[CellarDweller]

O FORTUNA

Gopher Tuna!

 

[labgoat]

Oh Andrew I love your skating but what did you do to O Fortuna

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Torgashev--wonderful, so good to see him back (despite the music). Good lord, each man is one-upping the previous performance! By the time we get to Malinin, what are we going to get...?!?

 

[TontoK]

Andrew!

I have waited a LONG TIME for this from you. I never gave up faith.

Those jumping passes were chef's-kiss.

 

[msteach3]

Andrew delivered!!! Wow!!!!

 

[Jeanie19]

Andrew. This is the skate I have been waiting for. He has it all. Jumps, speed, artistry, spins.

 

[lariko]

Wow, never saw Torgashev skate like that and loving it! Also, happy for Naumov as well.

 

[RatedPG]

I’m in tears
I’m standing up and screaming! He is just like Bradie… what a comeback. He couldn’t have skated any better. One quad and then clean triples with all his combos at the end. He took the risk and it paid off. My heart was pumping throughout…

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Holy caro what a comeback! Tomoki is going to have to be on his A game to stay ahead (and I hope he is)

 

[Ruthypegs]

Mishe Ge has cast his magic again - wow - phenomenal skate from Andrew.

 

[jgg220]

Torgashev was edgy, sleek, artistic, and almost perfect! Please send him to every competition possible so he can get those minimums for post-nationals events!

O Torgortuna!!!!

 

[elektra blue]

O FORTUNA

to think that this music is actually about drinking because fate is a b*tch

Next year, Epica metal covers of classical? Or the Imperial March from Star Wars?

metal and classical music have more in common that you think

 

[el henry]

My baby slayed!!!!

After everything he has been through with injuries, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, THIS is the Andrew I have been waiting to see in seniors for all these years. So glad I was watching.

I am verklempt

 

[yelyoh]

Andrew did a damn good skate and is now very much part of the conversation. His work with Raf Aratunian (sp?) has really paid off.

 

[auser]

Oh Yes Andrew. Beautifully powerful execution with your lovely lines.
