I didn’t realize it until I’ve (finally) updated this post, but Yampolsky has been absent. That must have been one hell of an injury that took him out of Junior Worlds. Poor guy. I like him a lot. I hope he heals soon.

I know this skater is from the "archives," but I recall a lot of Emmanuel Savary fans on the board so I wanted to share this here. I stumbled on this while watching some videos on the On Ice Perspectives YT channel:

Emmanuel Savary performs to Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" at the Patriot Ice Center

US Figure skater Emmanuel Savary performs to "New York State of Mind" by @billyjoel at the Patriot Figure Skating Club's 2nd Annual Ice Show, held on May 6th...

I thought it was really enjoyable to watch! Emmanuel was always someone I looked forward to seeing at Nationals each year.

Ok first of all I love anyone who skates to Billy Joel.
But what was up with that camera work? Was that OIP!?!?! I didn’t even see him after about the first 1/3 of the number. Was that some sort of artistic filming that I’m not grokking?

Last thing I remember about Emmanuel was that he placed 3rd in his sectionals in …2020 I think? but qualified for Nationals because Andrew Austin and Ben Jalovick didn’t make tech minimums. He WD from nationals and did not compete and I’ve heard nothing of him since.

That was just breathtaking.. he seemed to enjoy performing. I want one of those seats at ice edge

That is good news but I am not surprised.. “performing” was not the best word.. really lovely skate

**Rubs hands with glee -- tries to remember if Warsaw Cup has a stream.

It did last season because there's video footage of Max and Daniel's programs.

I thought the Warsaw cup was cancelled,bur than I do not pay attention to lesser challenges or competitions. I am not a skater I am just a fan that only watches when I can . Kinda of like your high scores that doesn't include all international competition so the. High scores and personal best aren't really the highest . Warsaw I will not pay attention because I thought cancelled.

Ice Challenge was cancelled, not the Warsaw Cup.

Ilia great job unless something happens you are pretty much of a sure thing for another title

Nothing bad to Jason a former champ . I haven't seen him skating or competing. He has the program components to take the title from Ilia . He has decent tech but will it be enough.
Andrew, Camden Lucas Willis where will you. Place.

You have skated and show inconsistency. That okay was early in season.
I like your skating but nothing stands out for me.

Will You podium or will those coming through regionals and Nationals take your podium.

The small victory of those men making to Natl through regionals and sectionals Props and congratulations to you
Nat'ls will be interesting.
Those compete through Gpsand challengers

+ Jimmy Tomoki Yaroslav... all of them competing against each other for one medal at nationals if Ilia and Jason are healthy.

For how long must I wait for a US man to step up???

For sure nationals will be interesting

By the way not much talk about the US men, or is there another thread on them?
