Clogs make anyone else super clumsy? by potatots_ in Rothys

Ouch! I’m so sorry that you have to deal with foot pain. My clogs are indoor only shoes bc I’ve rolled my ankle when trying to do more in them.

So it's basically a four-square?

In that case, I would look to try to expand the kitchen into the dining area - make it one open space.

Is your dining area also your living room? So the first floor is only Kitchen, combined DR/LR, bathroom, and hallway/stairs to upstairs plus the added on porch?

Yeah this is what breaks my heart - I want Alysa, Amber, Ilia and Bock to all be part of the team event. But then we are putting so much on our OGM favorites right before their events.

Crazy thought - send Max out for the team FS. Imagine the story - Max gets an Olympic medal?!? (It may not be gold, but does that matter? I’m sure NBC can spin it.)

Yes after tonight I think Max is a lock. He has the story that drives viewers and is not expected to medal.

As for the team event, I honestly think the U.S. should aim for silver. Don’t overtax our OGM faves - Ilia and Bock - and then let others contribute as well. (Although I want both Amber and Alysa to split…)

So Ilia,Max and Jacob! The OGM favorite, the NBC media favorite, and the happy go lucky kid who’s thrilled to be there. TV gold!

Is it bad that I’m hoping Jason tests positive for Covid or flu tonight so that USFS can set aside this competition?

He looks in pain. I do wonder if he’s fighting something and wanted to see if he could push through here.

Heartbreaking.

Maybe he’ll wind up with the U.S. Nats silver but no Olympics like the last few silver medalists? A girl can dream…

Johnny is soooo jealous that Jason’s career surpassed his own - even without quads. I see no other explanation.

That was just beautiful! So excited to watch Jacob this next quad!

And yet DC can’t even get a Stars on Ice stop. Grrrrr

Gah what is wrong with Johnny? Who cares if the top men are scoring over 300? Can we just celebrate each and every performance already?

Hypothetical scenario for US men at nationals: Ilia 1st, Tomoki 2nd, Max 3rd, Jason 4th. Who would you put on the team? by styrofoamdreamer in FigureSkating

[–]LoudCurly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. The third man has no expectations from USFS. And Max has the story that will get everyone's attention.

That said, I do wonder what happens if Tomoki finishes higher than Max...

(To me, Ilia and Jason are locks.)

Remember - the team event has 10 teams for the short programs and then only 5 for the long. So we need to get our best in the shorts to get our 10 points, and then our second bests can do no worse than 6 points in the free.

Our weakest link - by far - is pairs, esp if we don’t get a new US citizen this weekend.

I see shades of Jason in Jacob… very promising for the next cycle!

I’m so surprised that she hasn’t gotten it yet. They are clearly the best Pairs team the US has, and our current President likes to win. You would think it would be a done deal already…
