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

[personwhoishere]

Andrea Joyce is one of the worst interviewers of all time.

I'm shocked she's had this job for so long tbh

Max is such a class act. His parents raised a nice young man.

 

[Citlali]

Next group we could have wonderful skates , awful skates and then Ilia who is in a league of his own

 

[Amy L]

I'm watching the pirated stream. I want to avoid the NBC chuckleheads as much as possible.

 

[misskarne]

NBC feeling a little ghoulish with this. Leave Maxim alone and let him skate, and get the cameras out of his face.

 

[just tuned in]

Srsly, between Amber's grandmother and Max's parents, there is a woo-woo quality to this year's broadcast.

Next up: Jimmy Ma.

Anyone else notice that Amber Glenn has a profile note that one of her hobbies is being annoyed by Jimmy Ma?

It's a response to Jimmy's profile note that one of his hobbies is annoying Amber Glenn.

I can't believe Tara & Johnny agreed to these lame animations

Oh my gosh ... I thought they were NEVER going to stop the camera close-ups of Maxim in the K/C after that interview. Good Heavens, give the guy some space. Kind of like the paparazzi going in for the pic, no matter how painful for the subject.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Oh good, Tara and Johnny are trying to be Bill Nye now

 

[Wyliefan]

I'm going to see those Johnny and Tara cartoons in my nightmares.

She always has been and yet, they keep her. NBC has no guts.

 

[misskarne]

What in the nightmare fuel was that sequence

Proof that no one at NBC watches these things.

 

[Prancer]

LOL at Johnny and Tara talking physics.

 

[~tapdancer~]

I thought it was funny!

 

[just tuned in]

Johnny, I really don't think there is anyone "at home" thinking that a quad axel is easy and they might go try it.

I just hope that Max and those close to him understand that he'll need long term support/help. He'll be dealing with this trauma for the rest of his life

 

[Vagabond]

Have Tara and Johnny been lurking here when they should be watching the skating?

 

[my little pony]

they have professional volleyball? and for women too?

@once_upon is a big fan

All this attention on Maxim is making me think NBC wants him on the Olympic team for the story.

Exactly. It's kind of disturbing -this media story that seems to be "if Max is on the podium there is a happy ending for everyone". As much as I'd like him to have a good skate, that's not going to fix his grief. Only time and unconditional support (which thankfully it looks like he has around him) will. Medals won't.

Sometimes I think Johnny is reading here when he's off camera.

My fear is that he's going on autopilot because of the Olympic season and there's a breakdown waiting somewhere in the background. I hope he has people around him that are aware that he'll need a lot of support in the future.

Bingo. Can't see where that would be good for Max unless he really earns it.

Of course he will. I lost my father when I was 22 years old. More than 40 years he has been gone and I still feel the hurt but I have learned over the years to put that grief in the right place in my heart. He will too. I pray he will have the support he needs.

So he dresses that way to spite us?
