2025 Skate America Mens Free - Pope Dies Last

[kwanfan1818]

Nice nod to the Harlequin in his costume.

La commedia e finita.

 

[Sally1214]

Well, overall, that was a pretty good skate by Tsuboi but, personally, I think Pagliacci should have been permanently retired as an ice performance after Toller Cranston did it a lifetime ago.

Just in case you hadn't had enough Pagliacci the first time we get a reprise. The group think in figure skating is sometimes mind boggling. Tatsuya struggling to get the quadruple jumps out consistently in competition.

-1.00 = Falls
150.35 = 3rd Place

Anyone know what Jason Brown’s going to do for the middle third of his life?

Make a small fortune with Remedial Edges and Level Your Spin courses. And choreo.

 

[once_upon]

I'm not a skater, obviously, but if I was and caught a glimpse of any of the logos on the ice as I was leaping into a jump. I'd be toast.

 

[slicekw]

Pagliacci shouldn’t hurt that much

 

[canbelto]

At some point, Jason is going to have to accept that non-mesh fabrics are okay as costumes.

 

[Wyliefan]

What's wrong with being tasteful?

This is SKATING.

 

[skateboy]

I'm on my second Scotch shot (nursing).

 

[jlai]

I totally approve of Jason's top

 

[canbelto]

Jason's stroking is so smooth. Always such a joy to watch.

 

[skateboy]

Make a small fortune with Remedial Edges and Level Your Spin courses. And choreo.

I think Jason would make a great coach.

 

[Karen-W]

Harlequin.

BTW @Karen-W, "alright" is all wrong. All right? I am just so busy correcting everyone.

Huh? Alright is a perfectly acceptable spelling for "all right" and has been for decades.

Spelling Note​

The form alright as a one-word spelling of the phrase all right in all of its senses probably arose by analogy with such words as already and altogether. Although alright is a common spelling in written dialogue and in other types of informal writing, all right is used in more formal, edited writing.

Definition of ALRIGHT

all right or alright?: Usage Guide

Although the spelling alright dates to the mid-19th century, some still insist alright is all wrong. The objection seems at its core to be based on little more than the form's newness: altogether and already, which formerly were frequently spelled as two words, settled into their current spellings in the 18th century, making alright a relative upstart. All right continues to be much more common than alright in published writing, but alright is increasingly found there too. Some like to distinguish between the forms, reserving all right for meanings such as "entirely correct" and "only those on the right," and alright for the other meanings, but that distinction is not widely employed.

 

[Spikefan]

This costume reads “Stranger Things” and then I’m sad it’s not.

 

[canbelto]

jason is a beautiful spinner. Wow.

 

[Wyliefan]

Somebody really said, "What 'Say Something' needs is to be sung by a guy with a mouthful of marbles."

 

[Citlali]

There is an even more awful version of Say Something

 

[jlai]

at this point, I'd say Jason is beatable (by other US men).

 

[Vagabond]

This is SKATING.

Kwan and Lynn will get you for that.

 

[skategal]

I will never not think of Michael Weiss and family when I hear “Say Something.”

IIRC his wife and daughter (maybe more of them?) sang a cover of this and it was pretty good but it will live in my mind rent-free forever now.

 

[Elisheba]

This is SKATING.

SKATING to OPERA! Two wonderfully trashy art forms!

 

[Braulio]

I can't believe I still can't spot the couple in the American flag jackets in the audience, @tony have you seen them?

 

[shan]

There is an even more awful version of Say Something

Yeah, for me it's the vocal combined with the piano accompaniment.

 

[just tuned in]

We need to send Jason abroad to skate his best, I guess.

 

[Karen-W]

All I gotta say is Jason's got some work before Nats if he wants that Olympic TE gold because we need him to be a lot stronger in the TE Men's FS than he is right now.

 

[canbelto]

Um this performance has the usual beautiful skating skills but technically is very mid. There's just not much content there.

 

[skateboy]

Somebody really said, "What 'Say Something' needs is to be sung by a guy with a mouthful of marbles."

Michael McDonald?

 

[slicekw]

jason is a beautiful spinner. Wow.

Just as I saw this, he did that spin where he dropped down so fast, how does he catch himself?

Lost of missed points on the jumps, but wow, he’s still able to cast a spell.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Cartwheel why?

There's something that's not quite there yet with the program, and I think it needs to be foot-perfect to be fully effective.
