Sr Pairs SP 1-4: Moore-Towers/Moscovitch CAN 59.47, Scimeca/Knierim 58.49, Denney/Frazier 50.18, Purdy/Marinaro CAN 48.00

Sr Pairs SP 5-6 are the new teams of Yankowskas/Reagan 36.92, Baga/Toth 36.67. No details known beyond scores.

Looks like a good start for Scimeca/Knierim!

[Sylvia]

Alexa Scimeca/Chris Knierim debuted their Moonlight Sonata SP at Broadmoor Open in June (scored 50.89 there with a fall on the sbs 3S by him). Today they received the highest TES score and reportedly went clean with 3twist, throw 3F, and both landed the 3S. Their FS music is the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack.

TES/PCS scores included:
Moore-Towers/Moscovitch CAN 59.47 [32.92 TES/26.55 PCS], Scimeca/Knierim 58.49 [34.29/24.00], Denney/Frazier 50.18 [28.18/23.00 -1], Purdy/Marinaro CAN 48.00 [25.95/22.05], Yankowskas/Reagan 36.92 [18.62/19.30 -1], Baga/Toth 36.67 [16.92/19.75]

Simpson/Blackmer 84.24, Rau/Simpson (CAN) 82.29, Liu/Perini 81.28, Aaron/Settlage 74.96, Calalang/Sidhu 73.53, Bell/Sylvester (CAN) 70.92, Jones/Beharry (CAN) 70.61, Oltmanns/Santillan 67.61, Zaitsev/Stevens 67.49, Orr/Furiano (CAN) 67.48, Conway/Sheriff-Clayton (CAN) 58.26

ETA Senior Ladies SP A results (19 competed):

From Lynn Rutherford:

Gracie Gold had solid short in snr ladies group B at Skate Detroit, earning 62.69 pts.(unofficial) for a Rippon Lutz, 3flip3toe & 2Axel.

Good stuff!

ISU new TES standards:

Short Program/Short Dance
Ladies: 28 (was 15)
Men's: 35 (was 20)
Pairs: 28 (was 17)
Ice Dancing: 29 (was 17)

Free Skate/Free Dance
Ladies: 48 (was 25)
Men's: 65 (was 35)
Pairs: 45 (was 30)
Ice Dancing: 39 (was 27)

So far...

So it looks like only Moore-Towers/Moscovitch CAN [32.92 TES], Scimeca/Knierim [34.29 TES], and Denney/Frazier [28.18 TES] made the new cut.

Ladies: Hannah Miller [32.27 TES], Gracie Gold and ???

Sobering.

Good stuff!

Her short program tonight was not only solid but also fascinating.

Of course, as she had shown last season, the height and the distance of jump were so huge.

Also, she presented mature choreography successfully.
She is not junior-ish anymore.

I can not wait to see her free program.

[Sylvia]

Thanks, spiral9509! I hope you will share more impressions and highlights later.

I'm still waiting for full, official results for Senior Ladies SP B - top 4 are: Gold 62.69, Kiri Baga ~53, Becky Bereswill ~50, Nina Jiang ~49.

Arianne posted over at GS that Bereswill landed 3Lz+2T, 2A and 3S: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sho...l=1#post651583

[Jenna]

Wow, that's the best Becky has skated in a while! Good for her.

[peibeck]

Wow, that's the best Becky has skated in a while! Good for her.

Hope that means the move to Yuka and Jason has helped her. Her style has always been amazing, but the jumps have always been shaky. Glad to see she skated so well.

There's a super cute pic of Gracie and Carly Gold on IN's Thursday update.
