2025 US Nats Free Dance PBP - Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!

[Matryeshka]

I don't mind nationals inflation if it's consistent and the ultimate placement is right. The top skaters don't seem to take their scores all that seriously, so as long as they know they'll get lower internationally,

Much as C/B are not my favorite skaters, even half-assed, this really is the best FD of the top five. I want to be clear that I said of the top four, not of the season.

 

[Wyliefan]

You know, it's just comical at this point. And that's from someone who likes Chock/Bates just fine.

 

[Rukia]

I do like the first part of chock/bate's program, but it really loses something after that

 

[thvu]

I just can't understand why this team continues to get the massive GOE and the massive PCS that they do. They are always slow, today they were even slower and she was so tight in her upper body. Off timing, etc. Most elements are +3 max GOE, and that's on a really good day.

The end of the program just fails so miserably for me too. I was actually liking the beginning a bit before the elements came in.

I feel like we’ve been saying this for years now, and it’s not like the skating the last two seasons has gotten any better. If anything, they’ve produced bad skate after bad skate and it doesn’t matter.

Okay, here is what we have so far going into the Pairs.

She really does look unwell. I mean, obviously, they're going for the record 7th title next year and that's the only reason they actually competed this weekend, but I'm irked for the second year in a row that CarPon could have been national champs had it not been for ChoBat stubbornly competing while ill.

 

[Matryeshka]

Ooopsie, double post somehow

 

[kwanfan1818]

Girl looks like she needs to drink a lot of water, shower, and crawl into bed in soft warm jammies, not do press conferences and interviews.

 

[LilJen]

Showing the MAX is dumb. Is should be BASE.

It’s US nats. Inflation!

 

[slicekw]

I’m happy for the medalists, especially Green/Parsons. Wondering what they’d have gotten if they were healthy.

You actually said of the top 5, which is just not correct.

I think that you will have to face it from here until Milano 2026

They have reputation and respect well earned, the medals, the longevity and the USA Flag so what you expect?

We just have to enjoy

 

[Wyliefan]

Now that my worry for CPom is off my mind, I can be happy for GreenP. That was such a beautiful skate, and it must feel great to snag bronze after last year!

 

[once_upon]

Ok - USFS also has American Riverboat Cruises as advertiser. That definitely is an old people cruise - been on it. Everyone except our group went to bed at 7 pm. It was only the itinerary that brought us to them

 

[PRlady]

I’m afraid by the time the next 3-4 teams get a legitimate podium shot, they will be stale themselves. Maybe not Zing/Kol because they haven’t been together long and are still young, but the others may be a bit like King Charles, coronated and creaky.

That’s where my mind has been, but I’m still going to complain.

When I went on Holland America, all the old people made fun of me for going to bed early.

 

[Wyliefan]

coronated and creaky

That would be such a great title for a snarky biography of him.

 

[beckab81]

So they're giving out a pewter medal in just a minute - can we count that (which would give bingo)?

 

[BlueRidge]

This is such a great comeback for them. I was a doubter. I'm glad they proved me wrong!

 

[PRlady]

Both of us. Two great programs. I like Z/K a lot but am happy for Michael and Caroline, they put in the work and came back.

omg thank you i'm so annoyed we don't seem to be having a way to watch it on peacock????

Are they injured?

Green & Parson were by far and away my favorite performance. That FD suits them so well and showcases how well-matched they are as partners.

Same!

 

[Tinycities]

Anyone have any idea of how worlds selection will go?

 

[Rukia]

Anyone have any idea of how worlds selection will go?

i will be surprised if they do anything other than the top 3 here

 

[Karen-W]

Anyone have any idea of how worlds selection will go?

I just posted the updated selection pool in the US ice dance thread in GSD - I'd be shocked if it's not the top 3.

 

[kwanfan1818]

I think G/P have the better skating and the better choreography.

I always thought the same of Hawayek/Baker, and they never beat Chock/Bates, even when C/B were up and down the World and Olympic standings.

 

[BittyBug]

They did beat them in the FD at SKAM once (2022?). But yeah.
