2020 Skate America: Men's SP

[Jeanie19]

I'm on the Nathan bandwagon. He is a complete skater and his consistency is supurb.

If you guys want to watch a sexy, violent, funny movie Desperado is a good one. Watch the Spanish language one though.

 

[skylark]

Beautiful, beautiful. Musical. I love Nathan and his skating so much. All that intense emotion, just bursting through or just short of bursting through. He's such a phenomenon!

 

[musicfan98]

Love Nathan's music, 95% sold on his performance. Something was missing. Energy? I need to see jumps that feel like they will land in another stratosphere and spins that don't stop. Still the best of the night.

 

[MarkinBerkeley]

Nathan needs a better costume.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Wow - Impressive skate by Nathan! I really like this program for him, and the top of his outfit is definitely less egregious than usual. That said, I'm not sure if it's the jacket, but he seemed hunched over at points. He is by no means a great spinner, but he is definitely better than most of the men in this field.

 

[CellarDweller]

Yay! After the short, Alexei Bychenko made top 6!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Nathan, I stayed out of last year's tshirt brouhaha. But this costume is less Ole than oy veh. It's more Banana Republic than Matador.

That program has really terrific potential. It's not there yet, despite that score. I'm looking forward to seeing it grow grow grow.

Needs a bit more energy and polish, I think. But clearly exceptional.

I thought Nathan's skating and spins were slow, but I loved his choreo/artistry and jumps! Great program and fantastic job!

 

[cheerknithanson]

So apparently Krasnozhon DID land a clean 4Lo. Good for him!

 

[karne]

HA, CALLED THE SCORE.

 

[ancientpeas]

Ya'll need to google the film poster for Desperado.

 

[TwinnerA]

I thought for sure Nathan would ditch the jacket before he skated!

 

[MarkinBerkeley]

Too bad Jason couldn't be here.

 

[Pippuripihvi]

Nathan's jacket looks painfully uncomfortable in the shoulders. But such a great program!

It's just... Nathan's not Antonio Banderas, sorry. It doesn't suit him IMO.

That's because he skated right after Keegan. Nathan is good and a better competitor than Keegan, but Keegan is a speed demon with excellent skating skills and spins. Everyone looks slow beside Keegan.

Nathan was amazing, but needs to bring back the clap.
