And moving on.... I wonder how Cam will fair this weekend at Skate Canada. With Vincent's withdrawl from the Grand Prix I wonder how open is the door for the American podiuma nd a world spot. It isn't impossible that vincent will be ready come Nats, 4ccs and world. Jimmy Ma who has shown flashes of brilliance also cod be ready or Alex or... And of course we are all wondering or a lot of us are if Jason Brown ready to show the world his quad? USA is very fortunate to have such a well conditioned consistent skater in Nathan and such a beautiful skater in Jason with lots of upcoming potential.
Don’t blame me if you become teary-eyed

May I join the Jason-Nathan-Vincent club too? For me, Jason should be receiving the highest PCS across the boards unless he implodes, but it certainly isn't Nathan's fault for how he is scored PCS-wise by the judges. The TES he is awarded gives him an incredible advantage over the other US skaters, and usually, Yuzu as well. He's becoming more artistic and fun to watch over time. And Vincent is slowly but surely improving in every aspect of his skating. There are other US men, mostly juniors, but I'm not sure they are up to the international world level yet. Am hoping that Nathan, Vincent, and Jason will be chosen for the upcoming Worlds. As for 4CC, perhaps there as well.
The US men have never interested me as much as they do currently, a great team.

Do you know how long he's worked with Joshua? I saw Camden once last year, and THIS was NOT the guy I remember.
Very impressive. That 4T at the top of the program was nothing-but-net-from-half-court. Glorious. Ditto the 3A. Spins... not quite top notch.

The program is way better than last year, yes. Thanks Josh:thumbsup: last year Camden was quoted as saying he was not as comfortable with his WSS program.
But Camden has *always* had flashes of brilliance. I believe last year, was it, he was second in the JGPF after the SP? After the FS, not so much. :noshake: If he gets it together, and believes in himself, that could be the key. Camden’s biggest issue is consistency.
Camden changed coaches I’m not quite sure exactly when last season. He did work with Tom Z., and now it’s Christy and Damon, and by extension, Josh. Perhaps that has helped with his mental game?

Jordan Moeller :luv17: won the SP at Upper Great Lakes regionals today. Score: 75.16.
(For moonvine and all of us in Andrew Austin's fan club
, he placed third among the three entries.)
The FS takes place tomorrow (Saturday).
Congratulations to Camden.
He placed first in the SP at 2018 JGPF and the SP at 2019 Junior Worlds, so I agree that he has not come out of nowhere.
Skating well in the FS too at Skate Canada would be a great step forward for him. :yay:

Jordan He appears to have stayed in Colorado, judging by his social media, so I wonder who he training with now?
(And thanks @icecoverage for the specifics on Camden’s previous comps, I knew they were impressive SPs, but not remembering the years

For posterity, below is the updated link to the tech minimum document for 2020 Nats. The USFS site was revamped before 2020 Nats, and the original link no longer works.

All three sectionals are coming up during the week of Nov 12-16.
Regionals have concluded for this season. The final batch took place last week.
(Sean did not need to compete at regionals. He has a bye to sectionals because he won sectionals last season.
Plus even if he did not have the bye, I think his region and his section have so few senior men that they don't need to compete at regionals. )

Just saw on Twitter the Andrew T article edited in above post, and posted in his FF.
My favorite quote: "Both programs allow me to be original and not be ordinary."
One thing Andrew has never been is ordinary
Good luck this weekend in the Asian Open
