2026 U.S. Nationals Senior Men Short Program

[Arigato]

they were definitely there for the women

Really? They are quite distracting with the men's programs.

Not only is Michael a gorgeous skater with great extension, flexibility, and wonderful jumps and spins he is also studying at UC Berkeley and has a very impressive LinkedIn page. The axel wasn't working for him in practice either during the program, he tends to kind of slow down right before it when the music is on, but the rest of his program was very enjoyable. He has a sublime ina bauer.

Michael. Really nice outfit. Nice program. Shame about the popped axel. Still a decent skate.

Did anyone watch the practice? How did Maxim do there? Very hopeful but worried for him

"Medley by various artists" really doesn't say anything about your music selection

Programmer: What music is he skating to?

Team: Yes.

Programmer: Ummm.....song and title?

Team: All of them.

Programmer: I'll just list it as a medley.

Max’s speed and power again are so impressive. I hope the judges reward him in PCS accordingly.

Max's skate made me all misty-eyed. It was lovely.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I'm bawling right now, that was so beautiful from Max and the crowd is so supportive for him

 

[museksk8r]

Very warm, supportive crowd. The pressure he was putting on himself was so visible before the skate.
