2026 US Nationals Men's SP "Je Suis Malanin"

[Vagabond]

Tease. Give. Please. Please. Please!

Just click on the hyperlink, silly!

 

[Wyliefan]

Okay, I have to say that was a cute story about Tara's parents at the Olympics. Don't hurt me.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Johnny and Tara have spent Mindra's entire program muttering about... people's moms?

 

[peibeck]

Mindra is a voidy dream. Jumps be damned.

 

[tony]

Mindra just fabulous. Also love.

 

[Wyliefan]

Hate the shirt. Love his movement quality.

All ten kids skate? Holy cow!

 

[Braulio]

Another fun program, nice choreography BUT no jumps

 

[slicekw]

Mindra was fun.

Yes. That made me SO mad.

 

[Vagabond]

Another fun program, nice choreography BUT no jumps

There were a couple of successful doubles in there.

 

[barbk]

Mindra was fun.

Fun to see someone totally into their choreography.

Oh duh, I didn’t see it was blue vs black. Grazie!

 

[personwhoishere]

There are so many incredible versions of this song, why are we listening to Eddie Redmayne bleating

 

[canbelto]

I really hate the syrupy vocals in these sorts of programs.

 

[Wyliefan]

Fun to see someone totally into their choreography.

And Elano is following suit.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Who do I have to bribe to get people to stop using the film score of Les Mis?

If we have not hear Les Mis, couldn't we at least hear one that doesn't sound like it was recorded live on a potato by someone whose vocal range does not remotely fit the music?

What a shame that some of the parents are not able to bring themselves to be present in the arena to see their childen compete. Like Ilia's mom and Amber's mom. I guess I understand it .... they are so nervous for their kids ... but to BE there when your child succeeds would be a "moment in time" that would live on in your heart forever. I know Brian Orser's mom used to hide in the women's bathroom when he skated and I always thought that was kind of sad. She missed so many wonderful moments.

Yin and Yang…Mindra and Elano

 

[Vagabond]

What is this miserable song, and whatever possessed Elano to choose it?

 

[Lara]

Elano’s SP at sectionals was so absolutely stunning, I knew it’d be a tall order to replicate here.

 

[peibeck]

Elano ends this extremely musical group of guys just as it began, savoring the wonderful qualities and cursing the inconsistencies.

 

[personwhoishere]

What is this dreary song, and whatever possessed Elano to choose it?

It's from Les Miserables, but this version is from the film (vs one of the incredible theatre productions).

When you find out, start a GoFundMe. I promise to donate.

 

[Wyliefan]

I know wrestling is super popular, but wrestling commercials always make me wonder why. I've never seen anything less appealing.

 

[slicekw]

It feels like the powers that be have decided Max Naumov’s the guy to pimp out in lieu of Ilya.
That’s NEVER been a bad thing.

Ok, I need to head to the alt feed because I guess now the commentators for this event are just going to ignore the skaters altogether while they are skating and just chat about themselves?

edited because I am still mad about Mindra and Enzo: On the alt feed feed now, but USFSA should fire all three of them for this- if the people paid to care seem so bored they are just asking each other questions during the performances rather than paying attention to the skaters, rather than, like, discussing the performance, all that does is make the viewers at home check out of the performances too (and think probably think wow, skating is boring).

 

[Vagabond]

Thank you. I have edited my previous post accordingly.

I'm not mad about it, Max is a beautiful skater.

 

[peibeck]

I feel like this is Lucius' 50th comp this year. Hopefully he's left something in the gas tank.

 

[terisa]

I feel it in my bones... Max Naumov is on a mission. He REALLY wants on the team.
