2017 GPF Men's SP

[WeakAnkles]

That may be the most OUT I've ever seen Nathan perform. He is coming out of his shell.

Work on those spins. They could speed and stability. They tend to travel a bit.

He should be in the lead with that. And so he is.

 

[mysticice]

3A was done past the halfway mark.

Silly me. Of course.

 

[college pat]

nice job nathan, great job men

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Meet y'all in the Short Dance thread!

 

[Roast Toast]

Nathan is losing easy points on spins, but that program is dynamite.

 

[auser]

Everyone's having trouble on the jumps today. At least Nathan's are minor

Lol, my hairdresser wants me to get his autograph when I go to Nats. She knows nothing about skating, she just loves his perm

Wow, so busy watching the rest of him, I did not notice his hair was permed Have fun at Nationals

What happened there?

Six flawless performances to knock your socks off, and when those are gone to knock all the socks out of your cupboard and your shoes along with them!

 

[da96103]

The six cleanest ladies programs all season.

Oh yes, I saw the protocols. All good elements.

 

[moriel]

yay well deserved first <3
really eager to see nathan win this, a good step on his path for the olympic gold.

 

[jillredhand]

The competition was a bit underwhelming on the whole - you can definitely tell Yuzu, Javi, Boyang and Patrick are missing.

Good luck to everyone on the FS!

Eh, I wouldn't agree. I feel like these unlikely finalists are really giving the performances their all, in the absence of the distinguished frontrunners. Sure the tech content isn't as high, but the performers are great!

 

[Mrs. P]

Oh hey, if these rankings stick, I'll get full points of Jason and Misha! And one-off points on everyone else.

 

[Kittosuni]

So Chen finally got that PCS boost, Boyang Jin is being left behind ughh

 

[Matilda]

Raf:"Good fight. I've never seen anybody who fights like that." *pats Nathan on the knee*

 

[NoNameFace]

Nathan, give Jason some lessons on mastering quads and he can help you with that camel spin.

Jason could also teach Shoma about splits in falls, I am relieved for once that Shoma and Mihoko giggled about it

off to prepare my maracas for SD

 

[xeyra]

I fully expect some 200+ FS tomorrow and 300+ total scores. Work on that, boys.

 

[LadyB]

Of course, I would have loved to see Team Orser challenging Nathan and Shoma...on the other hand, I'm very happy for Mikhail!

His jumps need to have higher +GOE's if he wants that OGM. Maybe he was still rattled from Skate America FS.

LOL, I don't think Jason's ever done a spilt WHILE faling, LOL.

My pet Nathan peeve is that camel. Please fix that!
