2024 U.S. Nationals Junior Men Short Program

I appreciate the effort to add difficult footwork and timestamp to the music by Alvin Luu.

I like that Nicholas is giving performance vibes and that it is peppy, jazzy music and not junior sadboi music.

Nicholas. He has a senior feel to his program, lots of potential.

Ah Nicholas that pop!! He skates like a senior. He knows he sort of blew it there. Could have top three.

 

[yelyoh]

Ah he is in first.

August has nice posture and body control. Oops on the lutz? Nice skate for a novice.

 

[yelyoh]

Funny how we are all reacting with the same impressions. Love it!!

Proud of first group; they definately belong at Nats.

So good to see Kori at the boards for Antonio

I hope her health is good.

Luke is such a happy soul. Silly step out on second jump. Oh noafall. I still am enjoying his skating. What’s showman - I love it.

 

[moonvine]

I'm a little nervous

 

[el henry]

I hope her health is good.

I do too. This may sound silly, but it looked like her hair (and she was wearing scarves last year), so treatments must be finished.

 

[yelyoh]

Good skating basics from Jon. Good flow and nice edges.

 

[labgoat]

Antonio starts nice and neat with his combo. Fall on the solo jump. Nice finish to his movement. Room to grow, but a nice start.

 

[yelyoh]

Judges getting it right so far.

 

[labgoat]

Vaclav has an easy style and musicality. A bit more height and rotation needed on the lutz. Nice flow and comfort in all his movement.

 

[yelyoh]

Caleb looks soooo young. Little messy but big upside for future

 

[el henry]

I hope Caleb is not too discouraged, I like his style, and I like his many thank you in the KnC.

Jared's smile and pleasure in skating, the actual skating, is infectious.

Not sure about the music, but probably because Auntie El doesn't know it.

Jared. I love his shirt. Really good program and skate.
