Skate America 2020 Men’s LP Pt. 2
Welcome to the second and final group of men in the Men’s event of Skate America.
Alexei Bychenko starts us off. His Pirates of the Caribbean program is the same from last year. We’ll see that a lot this year. He lands his quad combo well. I love this music. He’s a little more comfortable with this program than last year. Struggles on the second quad. Interesting footwork. I’m not quite sure it fits the theme, but it’s difficult. Not bad. Could be better, but I like the program. He slides into second.
Alexei Krasnozhon landed a beautiful quad in the SP. His program is also the same from last year. Falls hard on his first quad. But comes back with a triple axel combo. I like Alexei. There’s some about him that you want to root for him. i don’t particularly think this program suits him myself, but he tries to perform the hell out it. He drops to third for now. By a point.
Tomoki Hiwatashi is next. He looks so little in his costume. Easy quad combo, but doubles the next one. Tomoki seems like someone with a lot of personality. I wish he would show it more on the ice. I’m not really impressed by this program. I kind of lost interest until the footwork. There’s some personality I was wanting. Not bad. He’s definitely a challenger for Jason and Vincent. He’s in first and Ilia will finish no lower than 5th in his senior debut.
Keegan Messing, our lone Canadian is next. November Rain was a popular choice this season for the men. Lands his quad combo easy as well as his second quad. I like this style for him. It suits his personal skating style. He’s got his jumps today. I love how he gets so low in the hydroplane, his head is on the ice and he gets ice in his hair. He’s happy with it. Not a bad score. He’s guaranteed the bronze.
Vincent Zhou’s shirt is interesting and pretty. Yes, I said pretty. Different kind of program for him. Intense but not classical intense/stiff. Falls on his first quad. Timid on the next quad combo. He’s got his legs back under him I think. I actually really like this program. The first half is really interesting with great choreography. Struggling a bit on his quads. This is the best program I’ve seen from him even with the jump issues. If he can skate it clean, he may give Nathan a challenge that only Yuzuru has been able to give him.
Nathan Chen must be so used to skating last by now. He’s rocking a really blue shirt. He really needs to put more though into his costuming. I loved, LOVED, his Rocketman program last year. This one is already very different tone wise. I like that he tries different styles every year. I think that has helped his artistry more than anything. Was really landing his jumps until he doubled the salchow. I didn’t think I would like this program but it’s really good. He’s not happy about the two missed jumps, which is good. He’s not getting complacent. But he should still win easily.
So Nathan wins (again), Vincent gets 2nd. and Keegan 3rd. Ilia Malinen has an amazing debut and ends up 5th. Great start to the season!

“Alexei Krasnozhon has improved a lot from last year to this year in his skating and performance skills, and he's been trying the gutsy jumps. People have kind of forgotten about him, but I reckon that he might come back as a force next season if he continues this trajectory.”

Skate America 2020 Men’s SP Pt. 1
Welcome to the men’s short programs at Skate America. I do not like this back to back thing they got going on this year but it is what it is. Tonight, most of the US men get their season start, except for Jason Brown who trains in Canada. I don’t know when he’ll get a start since Skate Canada was cancelled this year. Anyway, here we go!
Joseph Kang starts us off first. Like many of the girls, the rules for this year’s Grand Prix is allowing a lot of new seniors the opportunity to be seen by judges and experience. He’s just a baby at 17. He looks calm and collected. That was a huge triple axel. Overpowered but he got some height on that. A little sloppy on the landings. Oh, he hit the boards just skating backwards. I’m enjoying him though. He could be a good contender for the US in the future. Needs some polish and experience but not a bad start. And he’s 1st, 2nd, and last all at the same time! Sorry I couldn’t resist.
Ilia Malinin looks 13!! He’s so little! Good Lord, 15. He is a baby. What a year to debut. He did not just do a clean quad. He did. WOW. Damn, kid’s got the jumps. He doesn’t have the artistry yet, but that comes with age. I’m very impressed. That was a great Grand Prix debut for him. We are looking at the future of US men’s skating, everyone, and it’s looking bright.
How weird it must be for the skaters before they hear their names. It must seem like an empty rink. Maxim Naumov is next. The name sounds familiar but I don’t know. Doubled his second jump and almost fell out of the triple axel. He seems off. His spins had no speed whatsoever.  Well, the first ones anyway. I’m not really impressed. I lost interest halfway through.
Jimmy Ma has been a fan favorite for years but like Starr, never could seem to replicate his breakout program. The canned applaus is hilarious. They’re really trying to match what the skaters would hear normally. Ah, Jimmy went rock. I think he loves this style. Triple axel low in the knees but he gets it out. This program would be a complete crowd pleasing program if there was one. It’s hard to replicate when you use that aspect in your choreography. Not his best performance but I like the program. I hope we get to see it with a real audience for Nationals. I think Jimmy is someone who thrives on it. Aw, he’s last right now. That’s sad.
Daniel Samohin is an oldie in this first set of mostly newbies. He looks younger this season. Maybe it’s the scruff. Going rock as well. Gets his combo, but falls on the axel. I like Daniel. He’s always been a pleasure to watch. This is different for him and I’m kind of digging it, but then I like more rock programs. Personal music tastes. Struggling on his jumps now, He doubles the flip. I just realized he looks a little like actor Avon Jorgia now. Not his best unforturnately, but an interesting program for him. Ouch, now he’s last.
Alexei Krasnozhon was interesting to be last year. He does not look like a typical figure skater but he tries. If I recall, his artistry needed work. And he looks like ‘s trying. Interesting program for him. I feel like this might suit his style better with time. Not bad. It needs some time to grow but not bad. And he’s in first for now. A good start for Alexei.
The big boys are up next!

“It's heart-warming that so many Russian fans cheer for skaters with Russian roots or connections who don't represent Russia (anymore) (e.g. Tursynbaeva, Kvitelashvili, Ryabova, Kurakova, Safonova, Shabotova, Kuzmenko, Krasnozhon etc.).“
