Amazing 3A from Jacob, WOW

Jacob is my favourite American skater. Beautiful skating.. I feel the lyrics were dedicated to his 3lutz... Ne me quitte pas

Alois, je t'aime!

 

[elektra blue]

if Jacob is your son, you are my future mother-in-law

do you have a couple of extra cottages for all of your in laws?

Jacob has been my grandson since he was 14. I don’t know if that counts.

Love the shirt, love the styling, love his commitment. And before anyone complains and moans about the music, Jacob chose it, and he had never heard it before.

Jacob SANCHEZ (USA) doing his bit for the Normandy Tourist Board.

Don't like his pink top. But, the rest of it was good.

Ah! I didn't realise he was coached by Oleg Makarov and Larisa Selezneva.

I always liked their daughter, Ksenia Makarova. I wonder what she is up to nowadays.

He goes into 4th position.

This program is masterfully choreographed,

Patrick is still listed as his choreographer. This is the only hope we have to have a mini-chiddy in the next (and current) generation of skaters.

Hand down on the combo aside, that was a great skate by Sanchez. He really looks like a senior skater out there and seemed very confident and relaxed throughout. Good job indeed.

I am so sad. .50 from a small medal.

Seems like we build so many family relationships on this forum... Many people adopt skaters... I marry them all

I find Rio better at the jumps but Minkyu is slightly better at everything else. I'd have Minkyu first but I know judges just love love love Rio (and deservedly so). but yeah... I am on team Seo.

 

[Jeanie19]

Rio. Great outfit, program and skate.

 

[4everchan]

do you have a couple of extra cottages for all of your in laws?

the in-laws can camp in their

 

[cocteautwin]

Wow, Rio, his jumps are like butter, everything level 4, so niceee

I wonder if he knows what the lyrics mean...

I'm torn, I really love Minkyu's program but I feel like Rio performed and expressed more tonight and his jumps were fantastic.

This was a really great junior men's SP, everyone really delivered but especially the last three groups. It's amazing just how good these men are when they don't have to worry about doing quads in the SP, and I am so excited for the next generation of men's figure skating. They bring quality, artistry, and jumping prowess with them.

All I can say is "WOW!!!"

Words can not do justice to what we just saw.

Ted and Mark are talking about the possibility of him getting a World Record score for a Junior SP.

I didn't realise that Misha Ge choreographed this! That explains a LOT! It is the sort of programme I can see him going.

Yep. New Junior World Record.



Needless to say, he goes into the lead.

So proud.
