2021 US Nationals Mens FS: When you fall in a forest of cardboard people, do you make a sound?

[Jammers]

That was great after the first jump. But if he was upset with himself after the short, he's going to be absolutely livid now!

You can't always be perfect plus this is only his 2nd event of the season usually by Nationals he's hitting his stride but like most skaters he's hasn't had a chance to compete. Still he made only one mistake and went clean afterwards.

Paniot is working on getting citizenship. I don't know how far into it he is and if he could get it done by 2022.

 

[skatingguy]

Does he have US citizenship to go to the Olympics?

Panoit's not going to the Olympics.

 

[ChelleC]

It's going to be very interesting to see how Vincent does next season. Right now, he's putting himself into position as a contender for Olympic bronze.

 

[peibeck]

Vincent a lot of attack, but severely lacking the detailed presentation he showed in the SP. The opening 4z/3t was worthy though.

 

[jenny12]

Please no more muse!

Seconded! The most overrated band around.

 

[Amy L]

Control of the skaters being more important than the results, apparently.

Bychenko (another former UKR refugee) has accused the Fed members of wanting to stay in power and not caring whether or not they have any actual skaters.

 

[skatingguy]

The Bill Belichick of Skating. Yes, I know football.

Bellichick being a coach maybe Nathan's more the Tom Brady of skating?

 

[Spun Silver]

I'm glad Nathan's LP is not an Oly program . Too
introspective.

 

[VGThuy]

I would assume he isn’t a US citizen? So that’s a really bold pick

Whoops.

Poor Vincent. If he was skating for any other country (other than Japan) and in any other generation, he’d be the star of their fed but he’s competing in the era of Chen. He really is improving and people shouldn’t sleep on what he’s capable of doing. It’s just Chen is a once in a generation talent.

 

[clairecloutier]

Vincent has improved sooooo much in his basic skating this year. He’s finally a truly mature skater, to my mind anyway . Too bad about the pop and tough fall on the quads. But there was a lot to like there.

 

[slicekw]

I'm beginning to feel about Muse like I feel about anything from Moulin Rouge. And I am so fecking tired of Moulin Rouge. Hell is a cold, terrible restaurant that plays Moulin Rouge all the time.

 

[pinky166]

FS score on par with Paniot which is fair

 

[Braulio]

It's going to be very interesting to see how Vincent does next season. Right now, he's putting himself into position as a contender for Olympic bronze.

That bronze medal will be the most contested in Olympic History

 

[alchemy void]

I don't think this program works as well as his short, but it still shows a lot of growth for Vincent.

Exactly how I feel.

The SP is fantastic and the standout program for me, but I still think this program marks a big step forward. A better performance and more training time and this will be good to go by a hypothetical Worlds.

Too bad he didn't draw after Paniot today, though.

 

[ChelleC]

Some of us have been watching Jason since 2011, Terry.

 

[flyingsit]

Remember Chen’s Le Corsair program? I’d love to see Jason do a ballet program.

 

[Dobre]

Not bad, Vincent. The mistakes were big ones, but he didn't let them impact the rest of the program. Served notice, I think.

 

[Karen-W]

Jason's working the five o'clock shadow.

 

[Sylvia]

Am I thinking of Pavlov? Wasn't there some Ukrainian male skater that had a weird falling out with the Federation? This is bugging me now.

Check this GSD thread later: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/ukrainian-skaters-migration-to-other-countries.107351/

Chen's scores via Jackie Wong: TES 114.36, PCS 94.00, FS 208.36, TOTAL 322.28 into 1st

Vincent's jumps: 4Lz(arms overhead)+3T, 1F big pop, 4S, 3A, 4Lz<? fall, 3A+2T, 3Lz-half loop-3S

Jackie's tweeted scores: TES 94.99, PCS 89.60, -1.00, FS 183.59, TOTAL 291.38 into 2nd

 

[rfisher]

I have faith Vincent will get it together at Worlds...if there is a Worlds.

I do too. Vincent has a habit of getting it done at big events.

 

[VGThuy]

He almost lost to Paniot in the LP.

 

[Tada]

Good fight from Vincent but that program leaves much to be desired. Did Lori choreograph that?!

Misha Gee choreographed Vincent’s free program

 

[personwhoishere]

I almost went blind from the first look at Jason's shirt xD

 

[miffy]

If Paniot keeps skating cleanly and gets even more consistent quads, I predict he’ll make the Olympic team next year. I’m not kidding. It’s my no guts, no glory pick, but I can see it happening. Skating skills be damned. Even Johnny was won over, Lmao.

Does he have US citizenship?

 

[skatingguy]

Wow, when did Jason get a chest?

 

[mjb52]

I doooon't like this music

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Ahem, two quads.

It was only one when I posted that. He overachieved in following his idol.

Nathan's program is great and I would not hate it if he kept it for next year. Vincent's program is trash. He should burn it. He's probably popping and falling on his quads in protest of skating to this terrible program.

Isn't Slaughter on 10th Avenue one of those music choices that's supposed to be a jinx?

 

[floridaice]

so close

 

[Braulio]

I would like to know what will Terry answer if you ask him: if a skater falls 3 times in a program, how many mandatory deductions you have to take? ONE is not the answer
