Senior Men's FS - 2014 U.S. Nationals in Boston

[SGrand]

How many are in the arena? Looks like a good interest… hope so.

Who are the commentators?

Last group on the ice. Best entertaining on a sunday evening

On NBC? Screaming Scott and Sandra.

Scott Hamilton: "beautiful... that's when the music takes over..."
Me: "YES! That's why you should BE QUIET!!!"

So lovely to see Douglas skate well. Ross's program teared me up - and lovely to see the audience reaction.

Joshua is truly lovely - I sincerely hope he is 100% injury free next year!

 

[SaraM]

Despite the mistakes, Joshua's FS to Schindler's List seems so much more genuine and powerful than Julia's. I guess that is where maturity and true artistry come in..

Joshua is such a beautiful skater, really enjoy watching him. Such gorgeous arms and positions, that last camel spin *swoon*.
Sometimes reminds me of Jeremy. Am I crazy?

Thank god he was actually pretty silent for Josh's skate. Small miracles lol.

OK thanks, I know who Scott Hamilton is, but not Sandra.

Oh sorry! Sandra Bezic
Canadian, used to skate and then choreograph.

Looks like Max Aaron is making a case for the Olympic team. Good skate.

Max is a serious jumper (not a figure skater imo) but that's all that matters to the usfsa.

Solid technical skate, could very well move him up...

 

[Snoopy15]

Max was nearly clean barring a hand down on the second Quad Sal and doubling his Triple Sal; the new music cuts are really working for him well, they seem more cohesive as a whole and he relates to it much better.

 

[snowflake]

The more good skates the better. Love the competition here...

Looks like Max Aaron is making a case for the Olympic team. Good skate.

MaxTAstic :yay:, considering the pressure. But he obviously knows that more great men are ahead.

Rippong isn't going to the Olympics for sure now.

 

[karne]

Max was GREAT! Put him on that Olympic team now!

 

[Near]

Adam Rippon falling apart. No falls yet but he singled some of the early jumps. Improving as the program goes along but he clearly has no shot at making the team now.

 

[Sabrina]

A. Rippon was so good, though all his missed jumps will cost way too much. Beautiful skater...is he injured?
Good luck, Jason!!!!!!

 

[snowflake]

Max: 173.4 total 260.44 in first place. Adam is in 5th place.

GOOOO Jason!
