Michael used to compete with Abbott and Wier and I thought 🤔 that his score should have been higher in the composition components but were not because the American skaters who only do triples must skate a flawless program for both internationally so is that his goal to be eligible for Nationals and further... for example like Jason Brown, the only veteran who only does triples but extremely artistic... the potential is there for the interpretation of the music 🎵🎶🎵, but he must work on the technical components too because those international judges are VERY strict on our American skaters more than any other country and must be able to do their best and step up to the pressure of being in the top ten if they can... For instance, at 4 Continents, Tomako H, placed in 12th with few mistakes; Max N, placed in 11th with a couple of mistakes, and Andrew T, placed in 9th even though he skated to me and the commentator a flawless program of them both without quads.. but the judging system internationally is stricter with the Americans than others... but congrats to his win though, I enjoyed his program but I think 🤔 that he can do better; he is capable to succeed internationally like our Jason Brown!!!!

Great job!! with your skill sets and style I can't help but wonder why you picked that music. As I'm sure you know, the right music can make a huge difference in the presentation, just because one likes a song doesn't mean they should perform to it. As a classical musician and performing arts administrator, I have witnessed how important music selection can be and because of your great abilities you should really find pieces that not only "speak to you" but that also create interest and drama. A standard AABA song format will be unable to clearly show you at the high level you are. All the best and wish you much success - BTPravda77
