    U.S. Men 2025-26 Discussion - Quad God and the Mere Mortals

    Your right look I don’t think Jason wanted others to fall he actually seems like a sweet guy. I am sure if he could land 6 quads he would and he clearly tried to learn them. Its sad there isnt an event in skating that allowed us to appreciate what he is. The hopes others fall is more of for...

    Illia was being punished for being 1. Young and not having even the opportunity to earn two GP spots. 2. Being inconsistent because he was actually going for competitive content. 3 Jason was a beautiful skater but his fate was always in other skaters hands.

    For me the issue isn’t just about Jason and Illia but the fact that I felt they were rewarding Jason for never improving his jumps and simultaneously punishing Illia for pushing the technical envelope Like of course Jason is going to be the more consistent skater his jump content was easier...

    Its not that I believe Illia would have won. Its that its possible he would have still lost. Its just that the experience would have been helpful. And even if Illia had won gold today I am still angry at what they did and still feel it was awful exactly because of Andrew’s experience. Andrew...

    I would have sent Vincent but this is USFS fault. And yes I think Olympic experience would have helped our Illia in 2022 because it was clear getting about in the top three after the short got in his head. And the second year Illia was on the World Podium. And won the year after that. But...

    Oh It will absolutely IMO causes some reforms because next time they have this choice ( a skater of Illias magnitude) in the back of their mind they will remember and the media will remind them. It is their selection committee who deserves the heat.

    Jason never won an Olympic or World individual medal and it was clear he would not at the Olympics. Sixth place finish is good sure but it is absolutely sacrificible for an Olympic gold medal four years ago and who knows Ilia would have had nothing to lose. These people knew full well Illia’s...

    Haven’t been paying as much attention this quad. But I am a big believer that if we are going to ignore nationals the skater should have an incredible resume. If it was just a few points difference it would be one thing. But what Illia did that Nationals was astounding and I feared he would...

    If we want to use another example Yagudin vs Plushenko. Yagudin went to the Previous Olympics and Plushy didn’t. Four hears later Plushy won. The experience helps and it was clear he would maybe a medal favorite. Would it have guaranteed him Gold No. But it would not have hurt. And its...

    Simone was the top favorite both Olympics I think the difference in the second was she was always way ahead of the field and suddenly she couldn’t make mistakes. But I think he would have gotten some hype the USFSA could have and at least gotten some experience better than None.

    Every single recent US man who won OGM went to the previous Olympics. Its would have absolutely helped the statistics shows for US men it helps. You just don’t hold your talent back like that. Its a stupid move. Just to give the kid of the idea of what the Olympics is

    They jumped the shark. Superman has always literally been an alien. 😂 The movie is not political
