2025 US Nats Mens FS PBP - Wichita Quadmen

[Moto Guzzi]

"I need something more. I need something...more." More difficult jumps would be a good start. Other than that, I enjoyed his program.

 

[BittyBug]

Some gorgeous moments from Mindra, but the jumps were AWOL.

 

[beckab81]

Samuel should get the highest PCS so far, even though the technical isn't there. I hope next season he's able to get healthy.

 

[PRlady]

Got back in time for Tomoki who was fun, and Sam, very disappointing after the SP.

 

[mtnskater]

Please get Sam Mindra healthy so he can get some momentum and traction. He’s too good a skater not to.
Yes, I’m an uber

 

[Rukia]

I adore his choreo sequences that is all

 

[peibeck]

Mindra: Ugh, not the tech, but such gorgeous skating. And of course somehow the tech caller only gives him a level 3 on his steps compared to so many we've seen on their flats getting level 4s.

That final spin was insane.

Super bowl dates are set years in advance. The conference championship games are always 2 weeks before the super bowl and KC has been in the conference championship the last seven straight years. This was easily foreseeable.

Being in and hosting are not the same, first of all. Secondly, there are not infinitely available venues or infinitely available dates.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Has Mindra considered solo dance…

You know, the USFS doesn't control the arena's availability either, right? The rumors before Wichita was announced were that Florida was under consideration, but there was resistance from some within the USFS to going there. There are numerous considerations that go into a venue selection and maybe they thought with some good local marketing they'd get at least a decent turnout. It didn't happen. Nothing to be done about that now. Can people stop griping about it in the pbp thread though?

 

[Matryeshka]

If I were you I'd be afraid of this costume. I mean, if he was going for 50 Shades of Dungeon Master, well, good job.

Even Canada’s top females, Piper Gilles, and Dee Stellato are from Illinois - Just a fun fact.

Some of us really don't care about Illinois. Just so you know.

 

[canbelto]

Oh dear. Splatfest so far. Can't think of anyone who had a clean program.

Sure. I'm not saying they shouldn't be hosting, I'm only saying this was foreseeable. It doesn't matter who's hosting the game, 80%+ of people in Kansas are at home watching football today.

Why does this make me just laugh?

 

[beckab81]

It seems like Amodio is creating a pleasant training environment, but I'm not seeing much in the way of technical improvement or consistency from his skaters (kind of like his own career ).

 

[flyingsit]

Martynov right after Mindra is certainly a contrast

 

[Aceon6]

As usual, men are menning and my Rocker Skating shirt hasn’t even shipped yet. S’all good though as I only really need it for Worlds.

 

[Karen-W]

Martynov's helping make the USFS' Junior Worlds men's selections more complex than they already were, lol.

Okay? And? Should they have cancelled the championship because people watch football?

 

[mtnskater]

Martynov looked so good in the short. Too bad. Don’t care for this music for him…not sure what music would be best for him. I don’t get clear style vibes from him.

 

[Lanie]

Well that was

Something

Sure hated the music.

 

[Private Citizen]

Martynov really not making his case for Junior Worlds....

 

[her grace]

Martynov’s making the junior world team selection difficult.

 

[flyingsit]

Tomoki was the closest, I think.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

That did not make me want to send him to junior worlds

 

[Vagabond]

I am dating myself here, but I notice that REP usually comes with a red blob.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I can’t help it it’s my home state. And I’m just gonna throw one more out there. Daniel and Evan Lysacek are both from Naperville.

 

[floridaice]

He gave up after the fall on the 3A, not that he had much energy before
