Stephen was a bit more prepared for this interview than after his Junior Grand Prix win, but still needs some help. Sara asks him what he thought of the crowd and their reaction to his skate and he said something like "not much". Sara ends the interview, lol. Reading between the lines he had been speaking about how he focuses completely on his skating and just tunes everything else out, but it didn't come across as very polite. Poor lad. But hey - I'll take that over swearing on camera, eh?
I don't think he said "not much" - I think he said it meant a lot to him and then said something about it being only the second time he's skated as a senior and abruptly trailed off, causing Sara to end the interview quickly. Poor kid - he's obviously very shy off the ice, at least in front of cameras.Stephen was a bit more prepared for this interview than after his Junior Grand Prix win, but still needs some help.

ETA: I checked the video of his post-skate interview again, and he definitely said that the audience reaction meant a lot.
I think it was clear Gogolev was more terrified by his interview than by skating at the Nationals... So that forgives him any wrong doing/saying. It was quite clear that he was freaking out his life!
That needs to be address! No excuses for it!Nic Nadeau, please do not swear again in front of national TV... (Yvan was NOT happy with it neither...)
Ah sorry - you are correct - must be my senior ears or my weird imagination - or both. Sorry Stephen you were all good.I don't think he said "not much" - I think he said it meant a lot to him and then said something about it being only the second time he's skated as a senior and abruptly trailed off, causing Sara to end the interview quickly.

He has quite an intense personality and he was pissed off by his skate. To be addressed? Look at his coach in the Kiss ans Cry... It has been addressed, my dear! Was I offended by his swearing? No. I understand he was fully into his dismal moment right at the end of his skate. It’s not like he was swearing in the Kiss and cry. For good or for bad, swearing in French is less offensing than swearing in English... That is said, it is never a good idea to do so in front of a TV camera. Nic just needs to learn more self-control under pressure. That would part of the mental training program...That needs to be address! No excuses for it!
They made a mistake - he's 20 (born May 1998). But still very young, considering his experience.So I heard on the free skate broadcast that Nam is still only 19 years old. He's been competing senior for so long I thought he was a lot older than that. Plus he's started working and paying for his skating costs. Hope he gets some endorsements to help with his expenses!
I think you can make a case for giving the third 4CC berth to Sadovsky and the second Junior Worlds berth to Orzel.What will be the teams?
Worlds: Nguyen, Messing
Junior Worlds: Gogolev, Phan
Four Continents: Nguyen, Messing, Nadeau
Universiade: Anyone?

Looks like Skate Canada went strictly by the Nationals results with the assignments as indicated in my previous post above.
Actually Roman won medals in both his SR B and Orzel missed a medal on the jr Grand Prix by .09.There was no reason not to, as none of the men you mentioned had very strong results internationally this season. Hopefully that will change for Nadeau and Phan at their post season comps though.
