2015 US Professional Open May 23

[Tavi...]

AFAIK, each entry was competing against every other entry -- without compartmentalization into separate disciplines.

Thank you! I did nit realize that.

I am confused how come there are no pros who won world or Olympic medals or for that matter too many national titles if at all. Even Nicole Bobek or someone like that isn't in the competition. Its almost a DList championships. still as a skating fan I can't wait to watch the skating. do these skaters have other jobs?

I think this is the point of the US "Open" Championship. These participants are professional skaters with lesser known shows, coaches, choreographers, etc.

For people not acquainted with the amazing Jonathan Cassar, here is his SP from 2013 U.S. Nationals.

That Short Program was one of his best.

Still think his inside spread eagle is the best! Beautiful program--really enjoyed it.

dlkksk8fan, how cool you have Jonathan as your coach!

I agree. Nice program; he has a nice lyrical quality - too bad I fhe could just up the quality - edges and confidence he kind of has a Abbott like or quality edge skater about him.

Okay. Skaters like Vaughn Chipeur, Shawn Sawyer, Emanual Sandhu, Bebe Liang and Chris Mabee or Zawadiak and would be nice to see.
