2026 US Nationals Pairs FS "Ghosted (by my triples)"

[tangerine dream]

I really want McPark on the world team. I thought they should have been 3rd in the SP and I worry their scores are being suppressed since they're not oly-eligible and it could cost them a deserved trip to worlds.

This group all have good costumes!

Are they sharing the chair with Emilia Nemirovsky?

They actually trucked the half moon K&C couch over to Enterprise for just this purpose!

 

[Braulio]

I am still puzzled how Parkmann ended up skating for USA after representing Georgia not that long ago

No Tara. No Johnny. No Andrea.

Ryan is Chelsea’s 7th partner. She’s only 24.

I don't that the jumps are easy, I like well synchronized SBS jumps so the 2T+1A+1A looked very nice (who cares about points)

 

[ilovesalchows]

Remember the good old days when US pairs would do double sals.

I think pneumonia is the line NBC has decided to push. I'm not really sure why--this team is at best in line for first alternate for 4CC. They can just say "battling illness" cause now Ben is saying it. I feel like they've instructed the commenters to say this. Although, to be fair, students say this too when they're very sick and don't know why, even if they test negative. I just read pneumonia now as "worse than a cold but not the flu". I've gone to the doctor and been given a note for work that said "pneumonia-like symptoms" so I'm going to assume Chelsea and I obviously go to the same doctor. Cause, logic.

At least Ben and Ashley aren’t talking endlessly like T&J.

LiuBed - 3tw - decent; SBS 3s - and down Chelsea goes; throw 3lo - two-footed landing; first lift - really nice; SBS 2t+1a+1a - completed the jr level content; BODS - nice; I just realized we have to listen to this awful music one more time tonight; combo spin - decent if boring; throw 3s - her foot may have scrapped the ice on the landing; second lift - good; choreo seq - actually really cool choreo lift in it; last lift - nice.

So, Chelsea was doing her usual when it came to the jumps today. This will certainly go behind ChanHowe overall.

And to think people used to snark about Evgeni Krasnopolski! SMH.

L/B: nice slow, but ooof her jumps. First lift was a stunner though.

The same way that any other pair skater or dancer does? Found a partner?

 

[skipaway]

Maybe some more one can send NBC her instagram she wrote today

I mean, it was nicer to watch than a lot of more difficult, likely messy sequences we'll probably see later.

He got really fed up with the Georgian fed after they engineered splitting up he and Metelkina in order for her to skate with Berulava.

This dress on Chelsea gives me the vibe of something a bride would wear to her shower.

 

[beckab81]

Really nice lifts from L/B and their choreo sequence was fabulous. Looking forward to seeing them develop next quad.

@AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) is her role model.

 

[tangerine dream]

Chelsea Liu is a skater I've always kind of enjoyed and I don't really know why.

 

[Vagabond]

She's telling him, "I will not keep you long."

Flores and Wang asking for an ice check

 

[ilovesalchows]

A pneumonia loogie on the ice.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

 

[Garden Kitty]

I really wanted Ice Man to bow to the crowd

 

[Matryeshka]

Dude. Maybe they should have brought the varsity squad instead of JV. Music, direction, ice. I mean, you can't really blame that on NBC but still.

Won’t she have two more partners through the next quad?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Totally neutral?

It's white and has a light suggestion of being bridal but actually is a shorter more casual dress.
