[AxelAnnie]

Kate Wang. Love her music choice. She kind of looks like she is skating in a fog. She knows she is performing, right? She has some lovely qualities, though.

 

[Rukia]

Well that was a lovely start!

 

[Lizziebeth]

it certainly was!

 

[Rukia]

I love The Last Emperor soundtrack

 

[PRlady]

No tracker?

 

[Lizziebeth]

No tracker?

no

 

[AxelAnnie]

Jessica Lin. Her face looks like Mao. A little too much "weight" in her costume especially to that tinkly, etherial music.

 

[Rukia]

The Storm is becoming a warhorse.

 

[AxelAnnie]

Elsa Chang - Gorgeous costume. Is her back hurting?

 

[Rukia]

Awww not Pierce's jumping day.

 

[PRlady]

Mustard doesn’t look good on anybody but Amy Klobuchar.

 

[Rukia]

I find this song a strange choice for a skating competition

 

[Karen-W]

Mustard doesn’t look good on anybody but Amy Klobuchar.

I would question if it looks good on anyone, lol.

 

[AxelAnnie]

Marin Pierce. She has a rather charming demeanor on the ice. Lovely costume. Should probably leave her arms below her head on those jumps.

 

[my3sons]

I used to like the hands over the head jumps, but more than once in a program is too much. Even if one can land them.

 

[Wyliefan]

Mustard doesn’t look good on anybody but Amy Klobuchar.

Audrey Hepburn could get away with it. But Audrey Hepburn could get away with pretty much any color.

 

[Rukia]

Levito has an amazing camel position.

On the other hand, she drops her torso so much when she jumps. Some of it is just massive knee bend she gets. Clearly she's very talented though.

 

[AxelAnnie]

Jessica Lin. Her face looks like Mao. A little too much "weight" in her costume.

 

[my3sons]

I remember isabella Reminding me of Sasha Cohen last year.

 

[toddlj]

Levito is the real deal.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Levito really has the 'it' factor. I am smitten!

 

[Karen-W]

Levito has an amazing camel position.

On the other hand, she drops her torso so much when she jumps. Some of it is just massive knee bend she gets. Clearly she's very talented though.

She seems really slow across the ice to me. But she definitely hits some lovely positions and has good presentation skills for her age.

 

[AxelAnnie]

Isabelle Levito - She is gorgeous. Her costume is gorgeous. Projects out to the audience (which isn't even there).

 

[PRlady]

Loved her last year and she’s even dancier now. Great score. I hope her jumps get a bit more secure.

 

[Karen-W]

Do we have any idea why the 2020 Korean Jr champ is competing at US Nats? Other than there aren'tany comps happening in South Korea this year?

 

[AxelAnnie]

Claire Seo - OK - she can jump. Pretty costume. Well, the back mostly. Someone needs to ban over the boot tights........or at least deduct points. Well, that fall was right on the music

 

[sk9tingfan]

Isabelle Levito - She is gorgeous. Her costume is gorgeous. Projects out to the audience (which isn't even there).

Isabeau is Sasha's clone.....

 

[Stephanie]

Clare Seo is so fast! Shame about the fall on the lutz

 

[PRlady]

Good speed and spins for Seo. Shame about the lutz.
