US Championship Series - Henderson, Nevada

Only 2 in the warm up, it must feel weird to them.

Alain. Tentative skate, but he has lots of potential.

I appreciate that Alain comes out and skates, I like his commitment to the program, and I'm sure he's happy for the experience.

If they all skate to sappy slow music that I don't know (as they have in juniors), I'm in for a bad night.

Yes, top four at Championship Series receive medals as well.

All but one of the Senior Men in Henderson exceeded the SP tech minimum for Nats, which is 23.0.

The sole exception was Alain Sandraz.

(BTW, all three Senior Men today in Allen, Texas, also exceeded the SP tech minimum.)

Well I’m sorry for Alain. I hope he has another chance.

Come on Mitchell! In addition to skating, he plays the piano and has a degree in bio mechanical engineering with a minor in chemistry. Also loves turtles and fractals. https://unseenskaters.wordpress.com...ns-competitor-debuting-at-2021-u-s-nationals/

Sappy slow ballad count: 2.

I like Mitchell's style, expression and extension, and his commitment to skating with everything else he has going on

Did he make minimums?

Liam. He has grown so much . Good skate for him.

It could be worse, there’s always Moulin Rouge!!

When "Love Story" is faster than any music heard so far....

We need someone to bring out their inner Jimmy Ma.

Sebastian. I really like this program for him. Good skate.

 

[el henry]

Sebastian is so elegant; I liked that.

 

[Jeanie19]

Jordan. Rough skate for him. But this program is great for him and I'm sure his next competition will be great.

Virtual stuffies for that man, Moonvine!! He looks so downhearted.

 

[el henry]

Jordan, I love your skating skills, and I will forgive you POTO.

But you need to land your jumps, and I'm not a jump person.

Can’t wait until I can throw the real ones.

At least virtual stuffies are cheaper. That goat was $38.75 and it’s not a large goat.

I’m guessing that we have a new camera operator? Because the camerawork for this skater is really excellent—I feel like I am skating along beside him

Eric. He is such an artistic skater. What a lovely program.
