Gaaaaah, don’t want Petrosian in FIFTH after the Short

 

[Spikefan]

I want Mone to do awesome but that also means Petrosian 5th.

 

[Wyliefan]

I don't know what Mone's coach said to get her giggling, but good job loosening her up.

 

[Habs]

She fell on the footwork too right? Im not just imaging that?

I thought so too but she covered it well.

 

[Karen-W]

She fell on the footwork too right? Im not just imaging that?

No deductions, so doesn't look like it.

 

[Firedancer]

She started off so good. Amber

 

[PRlady]

Always thought she was least likely to medal of the Americans. Alysa and Isabeau just have steel nerves under pressure. Amber never will.

(I also thinking the other two are more graceful and interesting. But I hope she skates a good FS with the pressure off.)

 

[allezfred]

Last dance is the last dance tonight.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

She got a level 4.

 

[Skaterbob]

HAHA Chiba's coach jumping onto the "boards" to headbutt. Hilarious!

 

[slicekw]

Ten points. Who knows, Amber.

 

[YourBorneo]

Do you really, though?

Yes, I do. And I wish she hadn’t struggled so much on her competitive figure skating journey. Not that you care about my truth, internet stranger with your loaded question.

 

[mattiecat13]

I swear when Amber hit the triple axel I had a feeling she was going to pop the triple jump

 

[Karen-W]

Gaaaaah, don’t want Petrosian in FIFTH after the Short

We can take a minor screwup from Mone to put Petrosian in 4th then.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

This costume is so ugly compared to the one she had last year.

 

[tony]

3T with zero flow out, GOE is positive but that cannot stay positive and the rotation probably wasn't there.

 

[MsZem]

Purpppppllllllle!

So purple!

 

[Matryeshka]

You know what though that 3Axel was a beauty and I hope that's ultimately what Amber concentrates on. She entered a very small, very elite club of skaters who have successfully done a 3A on Olympic ice.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Oh, this is last year Mone. Okay.

 

[Skaterbob]

I thought so too but she covered it well.

Yea very Cizeron of her.

 

[Private Citizen]

Combo looked very messy to me and should get an UR call. But will it? Flutz, too. She has been consistently the most overscored skater for the past season. I wouldn't mind this going behind Petrosian . It should be well outside of the top three with fair calling.

 

[Wyliefan]

It's good to end on a cheery note after that rollercoaster, so thank you for that, Mone.
