USFS holds ISP Camp -- which Nathan, Vincent, Emily, Vivian, and other juniors attended in 2015 -- as the counterpart of Champs Camp.
I think it's better if juniors and seniors participate together.

I don't get the comparison. Sotnikova had strong technical content--a necessity to win at Sochi. I'm sure her coaches are not embarrassed in the least, nor should they be.

Yes, Rippon's 4Lz is a planned fall and <. A << is a failure, which it generally has been(And was here as well if it had been correctly called).
By the way, I think that planned falls should truly reduce the artistic scores. Where's the art in falling on purpose? It's bizarre this seemingly wasn't even considered, especially when most people seem to say his PCS was fair in comparison to Aaron's even though Aaron didn't even fall.
Champs Camp is held in August when the JGP season has already started. It's too impractical for the Seniors to hold it earlier.

? What?
The Kermit Flail is basically "THAT WAS AWESOME AND I'M TOO EXCITED TO SAY ANYTHING AND WOW!"
I know. I wish the JGP was more on par with Seniors but it is what it is. I just wish our juniors were developed earlier.

Do you think Peter Tchernyshev is secretly smiling smugly over the Shibs' win, too?
Any word on Nathan? I heard he injured himself at the gala last night? Last thing the kid needs is another injury. Raf may need to tell him to not push his body as much as he is.
Nothing since yesterday... heck not even well wishes... just total silence. Last we heard it was though to be an old/existing hip injury that was aggravated but he was going to a hospital for more tests and to get check out.
I am not sure Raf would say that, not I am i sure Nathan would listen even if he did... i guess they are good match in that aspect? I think Nathan may just need to be poked and prodded and tested and MRIed on a regular basis so a doctor can tell everyone if he is healthy or not. Even Raf said the kid does not have an internal check engine light.
Ha, ha!! Agree!
The drama is not in this thread, its on the ice, in the Kiss and Cry, in the press room, and off the ice. This thread just reflects the magic that is figure skating.holy cow the drama in this thread
Adam got a 10 in IN from one judge. With a fall.
Awarding Adam Rippon as the US National Champion is just embarrassing. I would love to hear the translation for the Japanese commentory on the US Men's competition. Can hear the slight laughter, giggle and shock from the Japanese commentators. Well, don't blame them especially when they have Hanyu, Shoma and Murakami to send to worlds...
Well, the U.S. does not have Hanyu, Shoma, or Murakami. So the Japanese commentators would have a right to snicker no matter which American won the national championship. (But I hope that they wouldn't. )

Well, don't blame them especially when they have Hanyu, Shoma and Murakami to send to worlds who have quads and are aesthetically pleasing to watch. With Adam, having watched his LP, I didn't think his skating skills were that great nor the program that engaging.
