There is so much at risk for USFS to give consolation prizes at Worlds. They need to fight for USA to keep 3 spots in future. Max is in good shape while Jason spent at least a week in Milano instead of preparing for Worlds at home. Plus he will do shows in Japan next week too. Let's hope he will find his 3A in time. I saw that Max kept on practicing with Ilia and Andrew even after the freeskate. He is preparing just in case and taking this serious
But if USFS said one gets Worlds and the other gets Olympics Max got the better part in that
:)
 

I watched this with youtube translator. Took me hours to understand everything. They most of all compared Russian and American coaching methods BUT he asked if Max will keep on skating and Max said that he is still waiting if he gets to go to worlds and after that he will rest relax and take time to think about it. But no matter if he decides to keep on skating or go into coaching his kids full time he will have people who will support him and make it possible. Soooo lets hope for the best

"Dear Skating" with Max, Andrew, and Ilia.


Transcript of Max's Letter:

Dear Skating,

Thank you for teaching me the lessons that shape the person I have become. Thank you for giving me perspective and the ability to call myself an Olympian. Thank you for the most supportive community I could ever ask for. Thank you for helping me discover who I am. Thank you.

Here are Max's Olympic programs. He was interviewed by NBC after both the SP and the FS. I was able to get Max's SP with no commentary but unfortunately not his FS. The NBC videos are labeled as such. I didn't mind the commentary in this case. Enjoy! :biggrin:

Thank you!! He really loves his tomorrows champions. I met one of their coaches in Milan while we were waiting at the entry. They brought some of the kids to Milano to surprise Max.

Finally a sign of life

 

Could this be real???? I mean he is resilient enough for this but... wow... ok... if it's true stay healthy please
 
The show is usally filmed for around 14 days in May. That would explain why he withdrew from Scott Hamiltons show and it leaves enough time to prepare for next season if he decides to keep on skating. Benoits summercamp starts 15th June for example
 

He posted it in his stories. So it will be gone in 22 hours but this is the link
