Okey-dokey, here goes act II.
Jonathan Cassar. Go Grizzlies! Cassar is the 2006 U.S. junior collegiate champion. He is a student at nearby Oakland U. (the Golden Grizzlies). He was one of the featured skaters, along with Yuka Sato and Fiaella and Scali. I think Fiaella and Scali must have been added at the last minute, because I did not see them listed in the pre-event publicity.
Very high-energy performance to rousing show music. Did three excellent jumps (according to Diashsk8 above, a 3 flip, 2Lz and 2A – I wrote down “quad?,” so it must have been pretty impressive, LOL.) Looked and skated like Lysacek, black and silver costume. Combo change-foot sit spin. Outstanding musicality throughout. Super flying sit spin combo, very low. Played to the audience throughout. Straight-line footwork the length of the rink, quite creative. Camel to sit to A-spin, change, upright blur! Wow!
OK, if this is the collegiate junior champion, what do the collegiate senior skaters do?
Cassar definitely has a future as a show skater, if his interests take him in that direction. (He is a performing arts major, and a handsome dude.

He should pair up with Sasha Cohen in the movies. Not to be confused, however, with the Jonathan Cassar who is the director of the television series “24.”)
I swear he is the one who ran down and kiss Alyissa after her FS at nats! anyone know if that was him?
