2024 U.S. Nationals Men's Free Skate

[Janice4th]

Isabeau Levito is sitting two sections over, and at each break fans are going to her for autographs. She has been very gracious to all of them.

 

[labgoat]

Tara and Johnny seem to play favorites and villains, maybe NBC wants it that way.
Ash & Adam root for everyone and try to be fair with their critiques.

 

[snowflake]

Not bad after the fall

 

[yelyoh]

Love the amount of people using Run, Boy, Run, you can really tell who watched The Umbrella Academy. That sounded sarcastic but it wasn't, it really is a good song, lol. Congrats on a seasons best, Daniel!

I think I could like Adam and Ashley but they need to work on their rhythm of speaking with each other, or go to commentator school or something. Anyway, for me, anyone is better than Tara. She just talks too much about nothing. At least if Ashley talks a bit too much, it's about the skating. I think A&A first need to slow down their talking speed.

I think it’s the combination of them not being used to incorporating NBC requirements/talking points organically (and NBC absolutely does insist they talk over the programs) and them being used to bantering with each other on their podcast more casually. I like the podcast so I’m fine with it, but you can tell they’re sometimes reading off cards (like “so and so goes to this school majors in x and has this fun hobby”) and aren’t super experienced

 

[FlossieH]

That score seems a bit harsh. Some of the others have been really generous.

 

[labgoat]

Goku is so cute I could put him in my pocket

 

[elektra blue]

oh Goku, Goku, why art thou Goku?

 

[Seven Sisters]

Another lad in need of a more creative music choice

 

[Jammers]

Daniel has such good jumps he has a lot of potential but needs work on the other things.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

That score seems a bit harsh. Some of the others have been really generous.

My mother was also harsh, maybe the judges agreed with her

(she’s liking Goku though)

 

[rain]

Random thought: as someone who's not an American it is absolutely mind-blowing how much medical stuff you guys are direct-advertised. I know it's partly because of the sponsors, but wow.

 

[CellarDweller]

As soon as I heard the opening notes, I was thinking of Sasha Cohen.

 

[labgoat]

He does have nice expression to this movement. He is similar to Tomoki in some ways.

 

[moonvine]

Goku has improved a lot.

 

[labgoat]

Despite the falls I want to hug Goku and tell him it will be okay.

 

[GGFan]

I appreciate that Goku's program had choreography before the first jump. I really like his speed and his arms over the head position is very pleasing. Despite the mistakes he definitely improved from last year.

 

[ramurphy2005]

Send Daniel and Jacob and Alek to Jr World's this year.

There are only two spots.
