Lindsay and Ava both skated to Aguilera??

I am tired. Lol. Don’t remember Lindsay’s. Will ask scary Lautowa then.

I include result link as well for those like me who had to search for it first

Third in the free for Hilmer while probably undermarked on PCS is a huge result for her!

That's OK, just curious. Again, thank you so much for your reports. Very much appreciated!

I'm sure that AnythingGOEs will have her music ID'd very soon since Anna was attending this weekend.

[Frau Muller]

We'll have to see... I do agree with @Frau Muller that she's put a firm stamp on that SkAm TBD spot. I can't see any good rationale for giving it to Gracie one last time, and neither Seo nor Hilmer proved they deserve it here.

@Karen-W I hope that you mean Lindsay T. Sorry but I’ve never cared for Ziegler…so I’m pretty happy now.

 

[danafan]

Happy for Ruiter to medal and also happy to see that for Canada Bombardier, Medland-Spence and Yang got the 4CC tech minimums in both programs.

 

[Karen-W]

@Karen-W I hope that you mean Lindsay T. Sorry but I’ve never cared for Ziegler…so I’m pretty happy now.

Well, Lindsay already has two GP assignments. I must have you confused with someone else in the US Women's thread, though I'd like to think you don't disagree that Ziegler has definitely set herself apart from the rest of the crowd for that SkAm TBD spot, lol.

Broussard is landing his Rippon 4T and 3A in the warmup.

Let's hope today is not a repeat of yesterday in that regard!

Let's hope today is not a repeat of yesterday in that regard!

I am a huge Adam fan, but why is Broussard feeling like he has to use that variation? Even Adam realized at the end of his career that the risk associated with Rippon 3 Lutz, let alone a Rippon quad Lutz was simply not worth it. It took him a few shoulder dislocations not to use it anymore.

Oh dear. Just wasn't his competition.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh dear. Just wasn't his competition.

It happens - remember Ilia's first senior B? Bombed the SP, came back stronger in the FS. It's a learning curve and I expect that Lucas will be much better next month or whenever he is assigned to his first CS.

Anything but quads, Lucas… Just plain skating. I want this guy to thrive.

Oh, lordy - he needs quads if he wants to win.

Because more likely than not he finds it easier to find his center that way. Several skaters have done interviews saying so and/or once they learned it, it was difficult to unlearn.

soooo close to the Worlds TES min - 63.82 - that foot down on the 3Lo...

I know…but his natural talents are elsewhere.

 

[Karen-W]

I know…but his natural talents are elsewhere.

I disagree. He's pretty young - just turned 17 in June - and his 3A is pretty decent already, and the 4T is a really new jump for him. If he's still struggling with the harder jumps in a couple of years, then that's a reason to worry.

He gets off some beautiful 4 toes in practice from all reports. And it appears he is undergoing a major growth spurt, all while upping his jump content and entering seniors. Plus, he has to learn to compete and cleanly execute a longer program (as do all other skaters who transition from junior to senior). He is certainly a gifted skater! One that I’m very excited to watch his journey.
