NBC to show 2 hour commemorative of American skating Sunday afternoon at 2 PM EST

[meggonzo]

Johnny elected to US Hall of Fame.

His reaction is "I'm not old enough!"

 

[A.H.Black]

Love the shib sibs but wouldn’t a Davis and White be the top dance team in the past decade? Jonny said they were the top dance team of the last decade. I think an Olympic silver and gold should count for more than a bronze

I'm sure they will be shown

Tara's surprise announcement - Johnny has been elected to the USFS Hall of Fame (Class of 2022 2021) - congrats!
ETA: Current plan is for an in person induction ceremony to be held during 2022 Nationals in Nashville.

Johnny's 2010 Nationals SP is being shown now.

 

[Braulio]

Johnny is inducted to the Hall of Fame (Class of 2022) Congrats, first openly gay skater to be inducted right?

 

[Debbie S]

Yay, Johnny!

I think Rudy Galindo was in 2013.

 

[Braulio]

Given some of her music choices in subsequent years, she might should have recorded her own music more often. I think that novelty is why Tara and Johnny selected her for this show.

And, I'm at the thought Tara would have selected MK to show. Or Johnny Evan.

Well, given Johnny 2010 SP is showing, they could show some program from Evan!

 

[rfisher]

I didn't realize Johnny's shirt was the inspiration for Volosochar's dress.

 

[VGThuy]

Johnny was giving some Slutakaya vibes with that.

 

[Braulio]

2010 feels soooooooooo long time ago

Peggy Fleming lp 1968
Janet Lyn lp 1973
Tai and Randy lp 1979
Scott Hamilton lp 1984

Brian Boitano sp 1988

See now that’s a show I wish NBC would do!

 

[VGThuy]

At least we have some skating on NBC during the rona.

Anyways, Mariah Bell has a 3/3? This thread led me to believe otherwise.

 

[Sylvia]

Tara interviews Mariah Bell and her 2020 Nationals FS -- so very special to watch in person! -- will be shown.

They showed a clip of it, and it earned over 10 points. Although my reaction upon seeing it was whyyyy?

The new normal. Whippy triples get high GOEs these days.

Johnny 2010 SP and Tara telling him about his Hall of Fame induction

We wanted a 100 year commemorative special. Mariah Bell’s career music choices are one commemorative display of American skater music choices.

 

[sk9tingfan]

Are you sure you don't mean 2019?

Yes, I stand corrected.

Tara's surprise announcement - Johnny has been elected to the USFS Hall of Fame (Class of 2022) - congrats!

Johnny's 2010 Nationals SP is being shown now.

I would have expected them to show his 2006 Swan program.

I'd add Dorothy Hamill to that list, too! That haircut of hers became famous!

Oh, and let's not forget about Kristi Yamaguchi!

 

[rfisher]

I loved this program for Bell. And she was so happy after that performance. But, I'm a big fan of BunnyGirl.

 

[VGThuy]

Rewatching this LP, it’s clear there’s been a lot exaggeration about how outdated and and empty her programs are.

 

[Braulio]

So I think there is only time left for Alysa Liu, Nathan Chen & Meryl Davis/Charlie White

3Z/3t (sometimes a little under) and 3F/3t mostly in 2020 U. S. Nationals

I didn’t think Kristi was that good. Her jumps were tiny.

 

[Sylvia]

Knierims' 2020 Nationals SP - glad I saw this in person too!

 

[VGThuy]

I know people make fun of the Marrieds, but they saved the US medal chances during the Olympic team event while Nathan Chen possibly cost us silver. But the former gets more grief than the latter.

 

[Simone411]

I didn’t think Kristi was that good. Her jumps were tiny.

I was a huge fan of hers before I became a fan of the Kween!

 

[Braulio]

Gosh, I thought I would never hear again 'the married couple' and they put the Knierims, why???

 

[NAOTMAA]

It’s weird that this is what’s shown for a show titled as an “100th Anniversary” show.

If they wanted to showcase the last decade, I wonder if USFS/NBC should’ve had a poll page for fans to vote for favorite performances from each discipline.

Well they have to find a way to get people to watch.

Calling it the "100th Anniversary" makes people possibly tune in because they think it's about the icons like Michelle, Kristi, Scott, Brian, Dorothy and Peggy. If they told you straight up it's mainly Starr Andrews and Mariah Bell and these current people it would D.O.A. ratings wise.
