Anyone watching Jr Men Live? It begins now!

[yelyoh]

Anyone watching the LP who can do play by play?

 

[Mrs. P]

Jordan Moeller did great. He doubled the flip but otherwise a lovely, stylish program! Nice redemption for him! He seemed really nervous before his skate, so glad he did great!

ETA: And Jordan gets on the podium! He'll get pewter at least!

 

[Mrs. P]

Nathan was great. He missed his first 3A but got the rest, including a second 3A attempt.

Ps I promise a better report when I'm not typing from a phone.

Jordan Moeller did great.

Nathan was great.

But only these two.
Others were not so good, yes?

Hmmm... third place without 3+3 in FS (yes, I understand that Jimmy Ma doubled triple, but ...)
For comparison, at Russian JrNats past season, all thr Top 11 of 17 had 3A+3T (winner), or 3Lz+3T, or 3F+3T on positive GOE in FS.

Thank you. I've been looking at youtube previous skates from these guys. Where is Vincent Zhou? He is terrific. Jordon looks tall and is elegant. Nathan is so talented.

Zhou is taking a year off to heal from a surgery for a previously undiscovered knee ailment.

^ Oh thanks for the info.

Loved the junior men's competition. Very pleased with the podium! Even though he didn't make the podium, I still have a soft spot for James Schetllich love: that he skated to Henry V & was so pleasant to talk to).

Wishing Vincent Zhou a full recovery from his injuries.

Coyote Chris, you're not the only one who is biased for Nathan. He's a gem!
