2026 US Nationals Figure Skating Womens SP "Like a Scare" (they're going to take you there)

[Karen-W]

Alysa wins PCS, Amber wins TES. Can't wait for the FS!!!

 

[myhoneyhoney]

What a short program!! Wooooo

 

[Sarah]

That was an amazing final group!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I hope they can keep this together in the FS, but even more, I hope they can skate this way in Milano!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Split the team event for women, both Amber and Alysa.

OMGGG

 

[slicekw]

Is this the first time Starr has been in the last group for the free?

 

[Rob]

Well that was some great skating!

 

[danafan]

Amber was so good as were the top five really so I’m so happy for her.

 

[Karen-W]

Split the team event for women, both Amber and Alysa.

OMGGG

I don't see any way the TE is getting split. I mean, I'd rather it be split too but that would require Ilia or ChoBat doing both segments of the TE and I can't see that happening.

 

[skatfan]

Great event and I cried for Amber!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

They can handle it.

 

[terisa]

Incredible last group!! And I was crying along with Amber... I think she was channeling Alysa and Ilia's nerves of steel.

[Braulio]

Split the team event for women, both Amber and Alysa.

OMGGG

Alysa Short, Amber Free

 

[Jammers]

This is why Alysa needs the 3 axel with it she wouldn't be beat.

 

[tangerine dream]

Alysa Short, Amber Free

It would be great. Really, Ilia could do a quadless, 8 triple free skate to rest his legs and still outscore any other US guy.

 

[reckless]

Oh my gosh - the lady in the sparkly jacket, might be a guy but was really seat dancing to the last step sequence of Amber's Madonna music

It was way too much

Had to rewind to catch that.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I worry about how much Amber is emotional about this short program, but also she's a grown up so I will try not to second guess.

 

[Karen-W]

This is why Alysa needs the 3 axel with it she wouldn't be beat.

Well, yes, when everyone else is clean. The thing is, most of her competitors don't always go clean, so... Risk-reward doesn't make it completely necessary, IMO.

 

[personwhoishere]

Amber: the sport is safe with them [Isabeau and Alysa] after I retire
Alysa: She's not going to retire, we're not gonna talk about that.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh my God, I just love that Alysa said to Amber no she’s not gonna retire.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

This is why Alysa needs the 3 axel with it she wouldn't be beat.

She hasn't been beat so far. That was only one program.

 

[Matryeshka]

I think for Amber, Alysa, and Isabeau this is more of a coronation than a competition and that has to take some of the pressure off.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Alysa Short, Amber Free

I may actually think Amber short.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh my God, I just love that Alysa said to Amber no she’s not gonna retire.

Even if Amber does retire, they've got Sarah coming up behind them to join the funfest.

 

[Garden Kitty]

The top three were adorable in the interview.

 

[Karen-W]

I may actually think Amber short.

Dear God, no. She is way too error-prone in the SP to trust her to go clean.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Dear God, no. She is way too error-prone in the SP to trust her to go clean.

Hellllrrrrrrr what were you just watching?

 

[Badams]

The top 3 are so cute in their interview. What great representatives they'll be if they are all 3 named to the team.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I may actually think Amber short.

She has the highest potential, but is much more of a risk. Alyssa's SP is a safer bet.
