[genevieve]

Have fun y'all! I am out.....

 

[tony]

Gonna be a long hour

 

[MacMadame]

I'm going to take a little nap. Hopefully I will actually wake up in time for this.

 

[Messalina]

WHY an hour's wait? It's a million o' clock here (well, 2am) and my Fitbit tells me I only slept 5 hours last night.

But I'm still determined to try and make it at least for Alysa and Yuna.

They're doing the Opening Ceremony between the Men and Women.

[Karen-W]

I'm fading at last... Going to try and make it through Lindsay. Well, really, I'd like to make it to the end but I'm not sure that'll happen.

 

[MacMadame]

I'm making some tea so that should help me.

 

[Lanie]

I just decided to stay up all night. I’ll regret it

Stupid insomnia

 

[MacMadame]

None of these women have any hair bling, let alone Korean hair bling!

 

[tony]

I want to make sure @sjs5572 sees this before they post another moronic claim about how I'm sooo negative about Alysa as a means of saying I don't have the USA's best interests in mind.

And with that, I'm going to repeat the same stuff I did at Skate Canada- lovely program, PCS should be quite good and probably higher than it will be, and the 3+3 still looks tight to me, and I don't know that it will ever be unlearned.

knee slide!

I thought the solo triple was tight but the 3+3 seemed fine to me.

 

[tangerine dream]

Alysa is not really the kind of skater I tend to like, yet I can't help but love her every time she skates. She just has something!

 

[Karen-W]

I just can't say it enough times. Alysa's SP is one of the most beautiful, eloquent programs I've seen in years.

 

[Messalina]

And that's how you do GFB!

But yes, still wanting the combo to be more solid

 

[tony]

The toe loop is never clean in my eye. Same story from 2022 season, she still has that toe pick pointed toward the ice and she turns on it as she sets the boot down for landing.

I was talking more about looking tight. I didn't hold my breath when she did the 3+3 like I did with the solo 3.

 

[MacMadame]

clean as a whistle!

 

[tangerine dream]

This is a great dress on Yuna!

 

[Karen-W]

"nothing wrong with..." the flip and we're off to the bingo races again, lol

 

[Karen-W]

This is a great dress on Yuna!

dress is nice, the tango music itself not so much.

 

[MacMadame]

There were some nice touches to the choreography.

 

[Messalina]

JAPAN OWNS SKATING

 

[tangerine dream]

There were some nice touches to the choreography.

Yes, it's the warhorsiest of warhorses, which means I've seen many a skater skate right through this music with no expression. Yuna did some nice things and I love her posture and body line. Well deserved score!

You watching the bingo card more than the screen? Lutz didn't look tight to me.

Here's the landing of the toe loop.

[MacMadame]

OKay, she has hair "stuff" but I don't find it blingy enough to qualify.

I don't have a BINGO card. I know you like to pick on me but "tight" is not about these things.
