2023 U.S. Nationals Sr. Men's Short Program

[TCAngel18]

Ugh, almost on the Quad, but Andrew is such a beautiful skater. He probably won’t get the PCS he deserves, since he’s been out of the game for awhile, too

 

[CellarDweller]

I will cheer these judges when they prove they aren’t stupid.

 

[auser]

Andrews skating is beautiful and musical. Great to see him here.

 

[GGFan]

Even with the fall that was a lovely way to start the short program. Andrew has nice skating skills and movement. My one nitpick is that I wish the music had picked up at the end to leave more of an impact.

 

[YuBluByMe]

He literally landed a beauty of a 4T two minutes before the warmup ended in that same spot. But I’ll take it. Everything else - especially his skating - was great. He hasn’t competed internationally in nearly three years.

 

[Ruthypegs]

All this talk of this Andrew Torgashev fella has me intrigued....

And he's fabulous! Sign me up to the fanclub.

- nice costume
- good choice of music
- lovely elegant, calm, high quality skating

Andrew

It's been so long. Forget the quad, the beauty, the elegance, the lines.

Ahhh I've missed it.

 

[maofan]

Smooth skating, a pleasure to watch! Well done, Andrew!

 

[msteach3]

I remember Andrew as being blonde, or I am thinking of someone else?

And he does some of his own choreography too, so don’t forget creative

He had tinted his hair very blond a few years ago. But it has also been this, his natural color (I presume)

 

[GGFan]

Lower difficulty but nicely done by Mitchell. I really enjoy his lines and landing position.

 

[labgoat]

Ha ha my feed you froze for a sec as the announcer said Mitchell free-

 

[YuBluByMe]

Ugh. My dad called right in the middle of Friess’ skate. He’s on his way here. Thank goodness the music is loud. Friess was good. Pretty spin at the end.

Can‘t go wrong with classic music.

 

[moonvine]

And one lonely voice is heard screaming for Mitchell, and that voice would be mine. I just love him. Someone who labors long hours in a cold ice rink in the hope of making it here to Nationals as an end goal. And he accomplished his goal and skated a cleanish program and I’m so proud

You are at the rink right? Is your Dad joining you there?
