2026 U.S. Nationals Senior Men Short Program

Go Ken - living his best dream!
His music choice is perfect.

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

If you notice, those seats are behind the judges and they leave them open on purpose.

Can yall hear me screaming like a banshee.

Ken. Nice outfit and a great program. A couple of mistakes, but still a decent skate. So happy he made it to Nationals.

 

[moonvine]

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.

Really? He’s retiring?

They’re partially filled. About 1/4. Not the two rows directly behind the judges. I see people sitting starting in the 3rd row behind the judges.

Apparently we need to get rid of some bad energy!

Go Will "power" Annis - you'll see why

 

[Arigato]

Forgive him for butchering your song, Alicia.

Like the music

Nicola Cavallaro is the artist actually. USFSA....

I hope @cheerknithanson isn’t nervous. Ilia could go home now and play with his cats and still make the team. Of course he won’t, but.

This cover of "Fallin'" is so aggressive

I would have thought the men's competition would have more people attending than the dance.

Maybe there are less people there since it's a foregone conclusion that Ilia will win by abajillion points and so why bother staying?

I mean the guy is an incredible tecnical skater.

 

[Jeanie19]

Will. Casual outfit and a good program. Back from injury, this was a good skate.

Go Will "power" Annis - you'll see why

Several years ago I saw video of him doing some quads. They were jaw dropping.

He did a quad loop that was one of the best examples of the jump I've ever seen. Injuries have just really plagued him. Makes me sad for what might have been.

Hi. Of course I'm a wee bit nervous...need him to stay healthy.

Mysti and Miu Miu are adorable.
