[jlai]

Is Martynov skating senior? I don't see him on the list.

 

[Sarah]

Is Martynov skating senior? I don't see him on the list.

He’s at Warsaw Cup this weekend.

 

[jlai]

He’s at Warsaw Cup this weekend.

Sorry for not being clear, I mean is he skating senior at nationals? (SInce he is not listed in the list above)

 

[Sylvia]

Daniel Martynov has a bye due to qualifying for the JGP Final. He placed 11th in his senior national debut last year in San Jose.

 

[jlai]

Thanks, completely forgot about that.

 

[Sylvia]

Maxim Zharkov is listed as WD.

 

[AnnMJensen]

Maxim Zharkov is listed as WD.

He was a “no show” called his name and waited - very unusual at this level.

 

[Sylvia]

Alex Ouriashev was with Nathan Chapple in the k&c - 107.17 in FS, 161.13 total. (Sorry, no notes - want to just watch today - he landed many of his triples).

Dylan Wajda's FS music is "Fall on Me" performed by Andrea & Matteo Bocelli.

I have to give Dylan credit. Not a great skater (much better than me) but to go out there takes guts. No coach, too. Respect.

 

[Rukia]

I don't know how old Dylan Waldja is, but I think he'd have a lot of fun at adult competitions

 

[Rukia]

I love Klein! He's in my stable of beautiful artistes with temperamental jumps.

 

[Sylvia]

Joseph Klein (recognized R&J by Korzeniowski in middle): 2A, 3F+3T, 3Lz fell out, 3F+2T, lovely Ina Bauer & Russian split jump, his trademark cantilever to 3S is back, yay! 1Lo+2A+2T, 3Lo hung on.

ETA: Agata C. (his coach in Chicago) and Sandy Rucker Straub (CO Springs) are with him - 133.43 in FS, 198.24.

 

[Sarah]

I love Joseph Klein’s skating!

 

[Sylvia]

Respect to Jordan Moeller returning to competition this season and giving it his best shot (3A fall, landed a nice 3Lz) and skating with heart at Mids!

ETA: Eddie Shipstad is with him - 103.64 in FS, 162.75 2nd.

 

[Rukia]

That basically settles the next best scores though! Very happy for Mindra!

 

[Sylvia]

@haribobo you're missing a few names in Junior Men due to skaters competing out of section - I will post the full (projected) list later.

ETA that I posted this projected list of 9 qualifiers in the U.S. Men's thread in GSD:

M1 Tomoki Hiwatashi 249.11
P1 Goku Endo 226.88
P2 Yaroslav Paniot 218.45
P3 Kai Kovar 208.09
E1 Will Annis 200.31
P4 Michael Xie 198.84
M2 Joseph Klein 198.24
P5 Samuel Mindra 197.76
E2 Daniel Samohin 195.14

1	6	Tomoki Hiwatashi, DuPage FSC	1	87.17	1	161.94	249.11
2	4	Joseph Klein, Skokie Valley SC	2	64.81	2	133.43	198.24

5	3	Dylan Wajda, Individual Member	6	30.10	5	58.29	88.39
WD		Maxim Zharkov, Dallas FSC	5	50.10

 

[Rukia]

That was an interesting music choice for Tomoki's free. I'm not sure I love it? I liked his choreo seq a lot though.

 

[crzesk8dad]

I don't know how old Dylan Waldja is, but I think he'd have a lot of fun at adult competitions

Agreed

 

[just tuned in]

That basically settles the next best scores though! Very happy for Mindra!

How does Mindra get in? Top three scores are Kovar, Xi and Klein.

 

[AnnMJensen]

Is it official that Bradie‘s WD means we send top 4 scores across the sections after the top 2 per section? I haven’t seen an updated document…..

 

[Rukia]

How does Mindra get in? Top three scores are Kovar, Xi and Klein.

Klein gets in by being second here. His score doesn't matter.

 

[Sarah]

Trying to watch the first group of the senior women’s free and women’s free from GP Espoo. Even with the mistakes and lower difficulty, most of this group look happier than those in Espoo.

 

[AnnMJensen]

Bonus points to Josephine Billings for Earth, Wind & Fire!!!!

 

[Katyaever]

Well this Fantine visited the discount aisle of the craft store then put it all on her dress, but that was a pretty good skate for Jiaying Ellyse Johnson.

I really don't understand why people think it's ok to pass meanness for wit at the expense of young teenage girls. The parents spend thousands of dollars to support their child's skating and do the best they can with costuming. She is a beautiful girl and a wonderful skater. Her dress was appropriate, fit the program and looked beautiful.

 

[Rukia]

lol fancy Fantine's are a long standing fsu joke it's nothing personal but 100% you can put me on ignore I promise you'll miss nothing

 

[TanithandBenFan]

We get Mindra AND Klein in Columbus?! WHEEEEE!!!!!!

Did Jacob have a bye??

 

[Sylvia]

Did Jacob have a bye??

No. Sanchez is expected to be announced for the Youth Olympic Games (since he had the highest Senior or Junior total NQS score (236.47 at Middle Atlantics in NYC in Sept.) so would miss Nationals.

ETA: Ditto for Sherry Zhang and Olivia Ilin/Dylan Cain who competed at Sectionals and their spots at Nationals would be filled, presumably, by Teryn Kim (5th in Pacific Junior Women) and Zoe Cialella/David Goldshteyn (11th in Junior Dance).

Until USFS makes it official, we wait.
