2017 CS US International Classic Mens SP

[karne]

Edit: Hmm, an 86.06 seems a bit low but I'm a fairly biased Max fan

So two quads gets 86 and one gets 91.

*throws hands in the air*

**** you, USFS. Seriously **** you.

Where is karne?

At work. It's Friday morning here. I'm on GS on my morning tea break. And now in a pretty foul mood, can't lie.

Great program for Max! It's a nice mix of big and grand but also slightly classical. It suits him. And also a nice performance too--charmblade, I think you're right, the spins look better.

He's been working more regularly with a spin coach since before US Nats.

Touché!

Maybe Nathan can do "Wait for It"? I still say I would love to see Nathan really challenge himself with Rohene choreo....

I think "My Shot" suits Nathan better.

Honestly, EVERYONE should challenge themselves with Rohene choreo. The figure skating world would be a better place....with probably a lot of high kicks and spirals for people to complain about.

I'm loving this Latin version of "My Heart Will Go On."

What's exciting is that I think there's still so much room for improvement. I feel he was sort of tight and not as free as what we've seen him in the practice clips where he was even more in sync with the music. This is going to be good.

Which is exactly where he should be right now - exciting and powerful with room for improvement. I feel like Raf and the team have been very thoughtful and smart with Nathan over the last couple years.

Was the 4F fully rotated for Nathan? to me it looked slightly UR, but the image was far from clear.

He's showing clips from Lombardia Trophy inbetween. Working perfectly for me.

thank you. working great and doesn't seem to be sketchy like some feeds.

No prob! And he's doing replay of Wakaba from Lombardia Trophy during Zamboni break. Can't ask for more [emoji14]

What, I have no replay during Zamboni...just an image of ice resurface and his windows page

Did you try refreshing? Now he's showing Zagitova.

Nathan's SP is great. Very modern. When I heard we was skating to B. Clementine I thought he was going to be using Condolences.

Happy for Max who almost went clean. I would have giving him a 90 as well.

Tim looks like he is about to land that quad any day now.

So the Black Swan and the White Swan produced an offspring?

No way, Rohene is not for everyone, aside from Jason no one else looks that good with Rohene's choreography.

 

[charmblade]

This next group has so many skaters I'm excited to see.

Looks like Mura is wearing a relatively tame outfit, except for some sort of flappy silver strip on his back.

Haha [emoji23]

Mariah does.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Daniel Samohin on the ice!!! Yes!!!

 

[sheetz]

I heard Mura was having boot problems like Nathan did at Worlds, i.e., boots breaking down prematurely from practicing quads.

OT from US Classic men, but having seen Mariah Bell, Chock/Bates and Stellato/Bartholomay skate to Rohene, he manages to bring out the best in many skaters.

Nathan can't do a high kick, so Rohene wouldn't give him one, but he would work with what he had:agree:
