One is reigning world bronze medalist, one is reigning world junior champion.I would just send Vincent outright over Tomoki, if BOW matters, reigning world bronze must mean something, right?

Also, Zhou has a higher seasons best score and also a higher world ranking.One is reigning world bronze medalist, one is reigning world junior champion.
Tomoki did not impress me during the fall...
USFS announced the worlds, 4CC, and junior world team camp lists. But I wonder why Ilia Malinin is not included in the junior world team camp.

I had hoped Andrew would be as sparkling in the fp, but he apparently wasn't able to overcome the pressure of his and others' expectations after his brilliant, uplifting sp. Fifth place is not a bad place to land, but I hope he's learned some competition lessons he can take forward and apply in future.

He made three big errors. One on the 3A and the other two on quads. Why with his history of inconsistency he went for 3 quads I have no clue. Yes he can do them but he's not consistent enough as a competitor to go for so many in a single program. One would have been more practical. I personally think he's got the artistry and PCS capability to go the Jason Brown route. Start with one quad in the free and then put in more later when he starts getting more consistent. But I'm not his coach so
I would've sent Vincent to 4CCs with Tomoki, pulled a Russia and sent the better of the 2 to Worlds.
As far as we know, both Nathan and Vincent will be preoccupied with their studies
Look at the interpretation of the music within the spins alone in these programs. And he’s taken his FW sequences to another level. Mesmerizing.I have been rewatching Jason's programs from Nationals, both Short and Long. They are my favorite programs of his in a very long time, and, as a combo, maybe ever. We all know Jason's musicality and SS but for many years it was always one program a year that would grab me, and one would be just OK... and I felt that his interpretive gifts were always a little underutilized. This year both programs are masterpieces that demand his complete artistic involvement, and it is thrilling to see.
My impression is that Vincent is done with his studies at this point, as he has moved to Canada.

Okay, I didn't realize that. Maybe Vincent decided to take a two-year leave of absence from Brown to concentrate on making the 2022 Olympics.
That is what Tanith & Charlie's commentary implied on NBC Sports Gold.
I saw this comment elsewhere but it's just such a mood I'll repeat it here: it's absolutely incredible how, at 25, he seems to be getting more flexible, not less, and his extensions are just to die for. His balance on the blade is just exquisite. His movements are so controlled, so graceful - he's the one I'd believe had classical ballet training (though I don't think he has).
Holy hell. This skate, this Nationals, I'll be replaying for years to come.
Actually, in this very candid interview from 2013, Jason mentions taking ballet.
I wonder if Camden had placed 3rd and Vincent 4th would the USFSA still have named Vincent to worlds or would they have simply gone with the podium? Him being named to 4CC over Krasnozhon despite his own history of inconsistency pretty much shows you just how much they personally like him.
That kind of makes you feel worse for Hiwatashi
Yea, and Canada is a safer turf to try out a newbie too.It does make the path even harder for Tomoki next year...because that will be the year that determines Olympic slots. Do you send the guy who's never to been to Worlds? Or do you go with safer bets because they minimize risk? I can totally see USFS thinking that way next year.

Yep, PBS is airing special programming tonight on the Holocaust. Two hours in. So hard to comprehend.Oh my god.
It's Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Jason's magnificent skate just took on a whole new meaning.
(Off-topic: his eyelashes are unfairly long and pretty.)
