Junior Women SP & FS

[Sarah]

That was rough. She just didn’t have the jumps this week.

Dark dresses over dark tights always give me Eteri Girl energy.

Dark dresses over dark tights always give me Eteri Girl energy.

I get why they did it, though. Annabelle is more torso than legs.

 

[slicekw]

I’m wondering how I can turn knowing a skater landed on a flat blade into an actual life skill.

Cui’s music was annoyingly high, but these lyrics - well at least they go with the goth look?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

She got stronger after the first couple of jumps. Only one 3Lz and no 3F, so the base value will be low compared to some of the other skaters here.

 

[Matryeshka]

Who knew our new dance champ would be found in the audience?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Another Korean Ladies style dress with hair bling! They're taking over!

 

[Matryeshka]

Don't hate me but I'm kinda digging this triumphal muzak. Like if Mannheim Steamroller decided to do skating music in the Christmas off season.

 

[Sylvia]

I saw Sophie Joline land 3A+2T, 4S & 3A in the 6-min. warmup. Hope she’ll succeed in her FS!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Tiernan looks very tall. I bet she's not at all next to normal height people.

Tiernan

Impressive 3z-2a-2a, strong jump mechanics, tiring out toward end. Would like her to engage more with the music

 

[her grace]

Poor Ela Cui. Not the skate she wanted. She’s got lovely lines - think we can find her an Ice Dance partner?

I’m fairly confident that her big sister is skating dance with Rogers in senior. If she wants to go into dance, she’s got the connections to make that happen.

NO. My dance card is too full already. She needs to learn to jump and become a pairs skater.

 

[Sarah]

NO. My dance card is too full already. She needs to learn to jump and become a pairs skater.

Of course, I have so many young pairs teams that are set to break my heart…

 

[Sarah]

I liked Cleo but the panel was not kind…

 

[her grace]

Park

Nice spring to her jumps, but rotates slowly like Karen Chen so she has trouble finishing the complete rotation. Like how her speed is matching the tempo of the music and increases when it does. Beautiful spins. So much to like here, but the jumps are a weakness.

 

[Matryeshka]

Cleo's tights are odd. They end above her skate and it looks like she's wearing different tights underneath. It gives the illusion she's wearing socks.

Maybe it's because I'm a teacher, but I like the screaming sixth graders. It's an awesome way to attract new fans to the sport. Probably not practical for Worlds, but all Skate Americas should do this.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Cleo had 5 <, one q, and one <<. I hope she has a coaching team who can help her address that.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Shao's whole look is very French. I feel like Edith Pilaf should be forthcoming.

 

[her grace]

I liked Cleo but the panel was not kind…

It’s the same calling she receives internationally. Better for her to understand exactly what she needs to fix.

 

[Sarah]

It’s the same calling she receives internationally. Better for her to understand exactly what she needs to fix.

It was deserved but ouch anyway.

 

[Lizziebeth]

It’s the same calling she receives internationally. Better for her to understand exactly what she needs to fix.

When these calls are warranted, they should be called domestically.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

When these calls are warranted, they should be called domestically.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that.

People are just sympathizing.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I thought the look was French, but apparently it's meant to be clown?

 

[Lizziebeth]

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that.

People are just sympathizing.

I do sympathize because sometimes the rest of the skating is so nice

 

[her grace]

Shao

First jump combo rotated into the ice, but the following ones have looked cleaner, playful choreo, good skate

 

[AnnMJensen]

Chaplin I suspect

 

[Wyliefan]

That was nice from Angela!

 

[Sarah]

Shao

First jump combo rotated into the ice, but the following ones have looked cleaner, playful choreo, good skate

And not called.

 

[Matryeshka]

Lopareva should see Shao. I feel like it will give her ideas in the best way. Lopareva would make it weird and wonderful and excruciatingly French and fabulous.

OMG. That's how you know you have middle schoolers when they have to make announcements to pick up after yourself.
