2026 U.S. Nationals Senior Men Short Program

[moonvine]

Fewer people for men than dance. Nuts. They are making me swap out my tickets for disabled seating one at a time.

ANDREA ASKING MAX ABOUT LOSING HIS PARENTS LIKE AN HOUR BEFORE HE HAS TO SKATE

Yelled as loud as I can, which is pretty loud, for Ken! And Emanuel! And Sam! Let’s go men!

ANDREA ASKING MAX ABOUT LOSING HIS PARENTS LIKE AN HOUR BEFORE HE HAS TO SKATE

She’s so gross

I just hope Andrew does well and makes that Olympic team. If he does well and doesn’t make it that’s fine too. It’s going to burn if he bombs because I don’t think he’s in a good mental space this season.

Get all falls out of way in warm up.

Well who are we rooting for, looking forward to seeing when the men finally start?
Did anyone watch the practices?

I’m rooting for the team to be Malinin, Brown and Naumov. I was really impressed with Max’s speed and power in his basic skating during practices. He has 2 beautiful programs, but he really needs to skate them cleanly to stamp his ticket to Milan. Jason struggled a lot with the 3Axel in practices; I hope he can land ones that are similar to how he did them in practice warmup rather than the sloppy ones he did in runthroughs. Ilia can withdraw and still make the Olympic team.

Go Emmanuel! Enjoy being back at Nationals.

Why is this section like 1/4 full? It’s center ice? I would have bought tickets there.

I enjoyed Emmanuel. Jumps not there, but he has a nice presence on the ice, I like watching him.

I am rooting for Goku Endo, Max Naumov, Jimmy Ma, Tomoki Hiwatashi, Jason Brown and of course Ilia Malinin

Savary really has lovely body line, extension and spins. Just too many jump mistakes to make waves here, but I hope he feels nothing but joy in what is the last competition of his career.

Emmanuel. Nice outfit and a great program. Shame about the popped quad. Still a decent skate.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Wow, I thought Savary retired. It’s been years since I seen him skate. I think the last time was that Peggy Fleming competition during Covid times. It’s great to see him again!

Really like Emmanuel's posture, dancer-like skating style and spins. His flirting worked on me.

I love his style and his jumps when clean. He does great choreo for himself.

I am rooting for Samuel, Jacob, Max and Ilia.
