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

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

:wall: 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.


Armography
Coach cam
Cutouts
Dying on ice
Face touching
Fist pump
gymnastics on ice
Heart hands
Inappropriate smiling
Illinois
Knee slide
Lip-synching
Shoutout in K n C
Touched the boards
Very literal costume
Warhorse
whickety-whack
 
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.

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