2021 Cranberry Cup Senior Women SP

[Karen-W]

Ok - dress of the day award for Heidi!

No way. Millennial pink is so 2-3 seasons ago. I have to admit, during the warm up which kept freezing (a sign of things to come in this last flight), I mistook her for Mariah - similar coloring and build and this is the sort of dress I expected on Mariah with her announced SP music.

But, she is landing the jumps today and will certainly push Zingas out of the penultimate flight and probably push Schizas out of the final flight.

Munger's triple flip looked very nice, excellent posture.

 

[wickedwitch]

Rippon didn't choreograph it, Cordero Zuckerman (aka Denili Fox) did.

It's hard to know how much if this was a mistake of not going with someone who has done more choreography for top tier skaters or just a case of all choreographers having duds, but this program needs to go.

 

[peibeck]

Is this Heidi sending a message to Ross?

Best dressed of the comp. Good job on the jumps but will need a 3/3 in the free to get the USFSA's attention.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, well, Munger didn't push Schizas out of the last group! And I was right that You would make the final flight.

I love this color on Izzo!

 

[Colonel Green]

Izzo trying to harness that Osmond magic to get to the Olympics.

EDIT: And big pop, well, that's something Kaetlyn would definitely do early in the season.

EDIT2: Fall + combo, Kaetlyn would also do that early in the season, there's still hope!

 

[Wyliefan]

Kaetlyn she's not, but it's still a good program for her. Shame about the jumps.

 

[danafan]

Oops a popped flip and a fall on the lutz so I think Schizas is safely in the final flight for the free now.

And it isn’t working, all I see is Osmond and her amazing presence and jumps.

 

[BittyBug]

So much for home rink advantage for Izzo.

 

[honey]

Oof I felt that 3Z fall from Izzo

 

[Frau Muller]

Izzo’s troubles continue...too bad. Lovely music & dress.

 

[wickedwitch]

I absolutely love Izzo's musicality, which stands out even when she's having a really rough skate.

 

[Karen-W]

Izzo trying to harness that Osmond magic to get to the Olympics.

Not happening with a pop and a fall. She probably will be somewhere around Gracie in the standings.

 

[peibeck]

Yikes, this is the worst I've seen Izzo skate. I do like this vehicle for her though.

I think the hard splat on the 3Z was way more a tribute to Osmond than the pop. I can’t think of a time when she ever popped something into a single lol.

 

[Jammers]

Nice to see people in the stands and not just empty seats.

 

[Frau Muller]

In sum, it’s looking like Alysa is on her way to Nebelhorn.

 

[Karen-W]

LOL @ the folks in the stands mostly getting up to take a walk rather than wait around for Izzo's scores.

Whoa! Totally nailed her general placement. Just .19 and 2 spots behind Gracie.

 

[PRlady]

They’re not going to switch the feed, right?

 

[Frau Muller]

Or cut-outs.

I think her masterpiece skates at 2015 SCI had a few singles in there.

 

[Karen-W]

I don't think so. Yesterday and Thursday the feed link remained the same all day long for both rinks.

 

[Catherine M]

Overall this was a very enjoyable ladies short program. Really Enjoyed Paige, Alysa, Young, and Madeline. Didn’t care for Mariah at all. See y’all again for the pairs event as dance is hard for me to comment on.

Alysa beat Mariah on PCS....

 

[peibeck]

That Amber comes back strong with a good FS and that Adam didn't choreograph Mariah's.

 

[danafan]

Wow from the protocol Schizas averaged at 0 GOE on the lutz and even got +0.49 on the improvised combo! Too bad most of us didn't see it LOL

 

[honey]

I think her masterpiece skates at 2015 SCI had a few singles in there.

I think she all wished she had singled things. I seem to recall about five falls in a row on attempted triples.

Alysa beat Mariah on PCS....

Was just about to post that. Pretty definitively as well. That would not have happened a year ago with the same skates put out on the ice. Mariah has given back any PCS boost she’d built up with what happened at nationals last year.

 

[jenny12]

I’m kind of loving Alysa this season. Obviously she still has things to improve but I don’t know, she makes me happy when she skates.
