2021 US Nationals RD: I'd Like to Chock with My Cutout Tonight

[Braulio]

71.11!!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Pretty dress, but I miss the hot pink.

 

[Rukia]

These scores are kind of but also I'm wondering what C/P would have scored here...

 

[VGThuy]

But not smaller than these guys train at. (Most teams who are scraping the board are training in the US)

Doesn’t it depend on the training center? A lot of them have Olympic-sized rinks. Anyway, the real answer as to why these teams are hitting the boards are that they’re pushing themselves with speed.

 

[misskarne]

And just like that, Chock set the rink on fire.

 

[tony]

I just can't get into this program. Nothing taken away from their technique or choreography, but the program as a whole just does not engage me.

 

[pinky166]

Madison Chock can sell almost anything. And she looks great in almost everything

 

[thvu]

And that’s 2nd.

Ha, never mind, I didn’t think their DiSt would get so many +5s.

 

[Rukia]

I actually...don't really like the program. Their skating is great but the choreography is very meh.

 

[Wyliefan]

I love that short, but I thought they looked a tiny bit tentative this time. Guarding against a wall mishap, maybe.

 

[pinky166]

So who will take it?! TES is almost a tie

Not that many. Hockey is king in the US. That 4 ice surface rink in San Jose hasn't got one Olympic sized ice surface. There is only one in the whole Bay Area.

 

[overedge]

Evan looks kind of underdressed compared to Chock's . But they wouldn't be the first couple to go for a night out with the woman all tiffed up and the man looking like he was going to do shooters with his frat buddies

 

[rfisher]

Madi is going to regret losing that level on the twizzle.

 

[Aerobicidal]

I never want to hear that song again.

Chock has the best costumes of this event.

I'm so glad they don't skate to Shpilband dreck anymore.

They probably shouldn't take the lead here, but I hope they do anyway.

 

[floridaice]

And just like that, Chock set the rink on fire.

She's skating last so the ice can refreeze in time for the men's Ladies skate

 

[slicekw]

This suit costume on Evan makes him look like he's getting ready to have his Realtor Of The Year photo taken. Her dress is everything.
They're just not hot. She was much hotter as a snake.
Good skate. They're so smooth.

 

[clairecloutier]

That didn’t feel quite as strong to me as H/D. Maybe C/B will win on PCS.

 

[Colonel Green]

Well, almost the same TES as Hubbell/Donohue despite Chock's twizzle bobble, looks like the USFS is still betting on this horse.

 

[BittyBug]

Madison Chock as an absolute goddess.

 

[Braulio]

Great great program after almost a year since their last competition. Very fit and trained looking.

TES at 51.30 tied with Hubbell/Donohue, with Level 3 Twizzles for Bates

 

[Wyliefan]

This talk of Jean-Luc Baker is a good lesson for all us to not yuck people’s yum.

You must be new here. My yum's been torpedoed more often than I can count.

 

[VGThuy]

Not that many. Hockey is king in the US. That 4 ice surface rink in San Jose hasn't got one Olympic sized ice surface. There is only one in the whole Bay Area.

But I just read the skating club in Boston does. Lake Arrowhead does. A few rinks in LA do.

On this snake rather

 

[Lizziebeth]

I think that program has too much perk for Evan.

 

[rfisher]

These scores are kind of but also I'm wondering what C/P would have scored here...

US judges read FSU pbp of Russian Nationals. See complaints about score inflation.

Say we can beat that.

 

[overedge]

That last split spin/throw thing - ouchie

 

[MacMadame]

But I just read the skating club in Boston does. Lake Arrowhead does. A few rinks in LA do.

I will just say that when lower-level teams come up against the boards like that it means their edges aren't deep enough, especially on a pattern dance.

 

[BittyBug]

YASSSS!

 

[Spikefan]

Looked rusty to me, understandably. Put me in the camp of no more Too Darn Hot.
