Sadly, I have to agree. It seems Rippon so far is the only American man who has made his case to be on the Olympic team. Things can change of course, but that's how I see it stack up right now.

Right now, looks like it's gonna be Adam and Max

I would dearly love to see Jeremy skate that clean. I love the music.

All I can say is that nothing's changed :disapp:

Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy. I think the headcaseyness is just unfixable. Very disappointed for him.

It's heartbreaking to see Jeremy skate like that. That fall on the quad was painful to watch. (((Jeremy)))

 

[spikydurian]

Are there any US skaters besides Davis and White who can compete when the pressure is on? :disapp:

Not fair to compare with ice dancers who don't have hard jumps to execute.

Well, for sure Yuka/Jason haven't been able to fix him up. IMO he needed more of a martinet for a coach. I know he can do these jumps (well except for quad). I've seen him "hit" live, and there's nothing finer to watch when he's on. But it's so rare.

Yuka is so sweet but you can guess what she's thinking. This guy is never going to put it together.

 

[pitterpatter]

gogogo Yuzu!

 

[mikiandorocks]

fingers crossed for Yuzuru (his costume is horrible though )

 

[Becki]

I cannot watch Yuzuru skate...I get so nervous!! OMG T_T BUT GO YUZU!!!

 

[bramweld]

I wonder if Yuka gets tired of Jeremy's excuses?

I think she's learned to tune him out. She's probably just counting the days to when he retires, he will be a wonderful show skater. Where did those TES marks come from? I'm a believer now SC is a sham when it comes to scoring!!

 

[starryxskies]

Yuzu still looks really nervous

 

[badknees]

Day dreaming now. Maybe Jeremy and Alissa need to partner up and do pairs. Perhaps as a team they could hold it together??

I also fantasize that Kwan and Browning should come back as a pair and wow the world!

 

[Puchi]

Yuka looks absolutely stunning and totally bored out there.

 

[Icey]

He must have gone into Juliet's closet for that blouse

 

[mikiandorocks]

Not his day. Hard fall on the quad salchow and missed the triple axel toe loop combo.

So sad for him and for us. He is perhaps the most gifted skater ever to never be able to medal on the world stage. The fall on the quad I was ok with once he landed that gorgeous triple axel combination, but the pops? And such a beautiful program. My husband, a non-skating fan, found him by far the most interesting.

Go Hanyu!! Fight!

Heart break for Jeremy! Whyyyyyy......

If only it were that easy...

Orser will not be pleased.
