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

[elektra blue]

another Various Artists medley, @Lamente Ariane . it's like an easter egg...

 

[mrrice]

98.05......I think that's lowest LP score I've ever seen.

 

[labgoat]

Welcome Samuel. I want to see this Chopin/ Andy Williams medley

 

[elektra blue]

i'm not liking this easter egg, i want my money back

 

[Lamente Ariane]

NO WHY

WHY WOULD YOU INFlict this music cut on me personally?!

 

[CellarDweller]

Can we blame it on Mame though

*sings Milli Vanilli parody*

Blame it on the Mame
it was a bad choice
blame it on the blades
they weren't sharpened right
whatever you do
don't put the blame on you
Blame it on the Mame, yeah yeah

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Penalty for mixing one of my most hated warhorses with one of my favorite Chopin pieces that nobody uses!!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

oh wow I love this kid! Great spins, huge airy jumps, flexibility, performance, and range of movement! USFS had better give him all of the funding, because there is so much talent here.

 

[moonvine]

Standing ovation! Cowbell!! Stuffies! Sam Mindra!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I’m sure he’s a nice kid but… I can’t

 

[GGFan]

Sam Mindra may not have competitive content but he's my favorite "new" skater. He can perform!! Lots of awesome qualities and that Bielmann is everything.

 

[YuBluByMe]

This was a very solid National debut for Mindra, though his SP was better. That was some great musicality showcased in the camel spin. The last spin was very good, too. Well done! I’ll keep an eye outvfor him.

 

[yelyoh]

Oh he is soo cute but that program was the elevator music version of a FS. Who chose it and constructed it?

 

[EdgeCall]

Yay! Samuel just flew nonstop through the program, quite impressive!

But he needs different music, Love Story doesn't fit his style at all.

 

[SkatingIsAboutSkating]

I love how much everybody cheered when he did a decent bielmann spin

 

[TontoK]

I'm throwing a whole bagful of virtual stuffies.

That was great! @el henry is going to LOVE this!

A Chopin and Andy Williams mash-up? Count me in.

 

[auser]

Lovely step and choreo sequences from Sam.

 

[16Olympics]

Well, hello Samuel.

 

[moonvine]

Yaro was skating for his career. The bills are piling up after so many injuries and missed events. So proud of him for getting the job done. He was having trouble buying skates I read.

Is there a funding link in his fan thread?

 

[Horsefeathers]

I can't with some of these music choices.
