2026 US Nationals Men's Free Skate "It's Raining Menning"

[Theatregirl1122]

Good Lord, these Saatva mattresses are pricey! Way more than my lovely Helix!

I keep forgetting Saatva is a mattress company. It sounds like an artificial sweetener or a drug.

Maybe a nice Saatva mattress should have been used in the kiss and cry. Missed branding opportunity.

It's Dragonheart from like 2001.

Stojko vibes.

1996. That's why I said it was almost 10 years older than Liam!

 

[overedge]

Are there enough drugs in the world to do that?

No. Did you know there's a 10% bonus for jumps in the second half?

 

[peibeck]

That's the best I think I've seen Liam skate.

 

[Matryeshka]

I feel like this program should work...but doesn't. The music requires sweeping arms and bigness. Liam neither sweeps nor bigs.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that was decent for Liam. Should keep him ahead of the men that have come before, assuming the TES holds.

 

[slicekw]

Was hoping Liam would be cleaner. He’s really starting to look more adult, I hope he can double-down and come back strong next season.

 

[overedge]

I would Liam even if he wasn't from my part of the world. But I wish he wouldn't be given such generic programs.

God I'm old. I was obsessed with that movie at one point.

 

[overedge]

Johnny talking about blocking out the noise. Oh the irony

 

[Karen-W]

I would Liam even if he wasn't from my part of the world. But I wish he wouldn't be given such generic programs.

That would require getting him away from Connaught SC, methinks.

 

[BittyBug]

Sadly, the stream keeps buffering, and now I'm forced to hear Johnny and Tara blabbering and watch DRUGS commercials

There's solidarity in suffering together.

 

[overedge]

I really like Jacob, but Tara just doomed him by calling him "the future"

 

[tangerine dream]

That would require getting him away from Connaught SC, methinks.

Unlikely as he's going to University there.

 

[Capt. DeSoto]

Jacob's program, about blocking out the noise, really pairs well with all the stupid noises picked up by the sub-surface microphones.

 

[haribobo]

This FS for Jacob has a very hospice type of feel :/ Where is that Footloose kid?

 

[canbelto]

Aww he's so happy. I love to see that.

 

[kwanfan1818]

That was so, so wonderful from Sanchez

 

[slicekw]

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

That was lovely. Send him to Junior worlds?

 

[floridaice]

Wow, what a skate by Jacob. My husband paid attention and really liked him.

 

[overedge]

Wow, that was fantastic!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Yay Jacob! Love the fist pump and the huge smile!

 

[peibeck]

Jacob just had a real breakout moment.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Damn! Great skate for the kid!

I'll be shocked if he doesn't end up with an international assignment. I can't see 6 men out skating him.

 

[tangerine dream]

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

That was lovely. Send him to Junior worlds?

He might prefer 4CC but we could really use his help getting JGP spots at Jr Worlds. Maybe he'd be interested in doing both, I think he was talking about doing that last year.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, that was fabulous for Jacob! Apart from the wonky landing on the second 3a, that was the best I think I've ever seen him skate!

 

[Lara]

So happy for Jacob!!!

 

[Lanie]

Jacob!!!!
