For those of you who watched US sectionals this week and weekend – what was your favorite moment? My favorite was Pacific Coast Sectionals Juvenile Boys champion Samuel Mindra. He fell on his first element, a double axel. When that seemed to affect his next element, a spin, I was on the edge of my seat wondering if he would be able to get back into the performance. Did he ever! By the end he was skating so full of joy you just had to smile (and so on technically that he got +2 and +3 GOE’s on his last two elements.)
Vincent Zhou’s emotional reaction on winning Midwestern Sectionals Senior Men with that great skate with 2 triple axels and a quad salchow was also pretty great!
Here are links to Samuel Mindra’s skate if you have an icenetwork subscription:

(For comparison – here’s his NW Pacific Regionals performance. I love his reaction to his score here. He’s the first of just two skaters: http://web.icenetwork.com/video/v522953183/?event=2016_nwp_regionals )
