2025 US Nats Pair FS PBP - "Je Suis Malade" but she still keeps talking...

[MacMadame]

yeah i just assume she doesn't know the laws and such and her team is just like "let the lawyers handle it" so she's just like "cool ok"

but a secret marriage would be objectively funnier so i'm hoping for that

It doesn't even have to be to her now partner. Just far enough ago to make the timeline work.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I'm OK with evasive, standoffish responses to Phil Hersh. That actually makes me like her MORE.

Right? Since when is not gushing to Phil effing Hersh a bad thing.

 

[skateycat]

What are the audio people smoking? Mr Skateycat thinks he's on acid!

 

[peibeck]

McBeath looks beyond delighted. Parkman looks in complete shock.

 

[Wyliefan]

Katie looks so excited. And Alisa looks hyped enough to skate the program all over again!

 

[Sarah]

I think Katie is the happiest person on the podium.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

It doesn't even have to be to her now partner. Just far enough ago to make the timeline work.

Didn't she move to the US to skate with Misha? So the timeline would start when she started skating with Misha no matter what.

 

[Wyliefan]

Is that purple stoning on Alisa's dress new? I don't remember it from before.

She was skating for Germany at 2023 Worlds, so it wasn't before she came to skate with Misha.

It's my fanfic. I will make it work.

 

[ross_hy]

Queen Tai & Queen Alexa

 

[peibeck]

Katie McBeath's reactions are EVERYTHING on this podium!!! I think she may need oxygen.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Tai and Alexiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Jarrett]

Trump executive order for Alisa incoming!

 

[Rukia]

It's my fanfic. I will make it work.

she walked right out of 2023 worlds and into the arms of a willing us citizen

 

[Theatregirl1122]

It's my fanfic. I will make it work.

This is a manifesting challenge that I think not even @Rukia would take on.

 

[floridaice]

I just hope she wasn't promised citizenship to get her to move to Boston & skate with Misha.

 

[Amy L]

but a secret marriage would be objectively funnier so i'm hoping for that

Not that I'd want the other pairs to break up, but imagining Efimova & Parkman pairing up and skating for the US would be hella funny.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I'd be so annoyed if I had to shake the hand of a random snake oil salesman during MY medal ceremony.

 

[peibeck]

Trump executive order for Alisa incoming!

Putin likely to veto it.

 

[tangerine dream]

Didn't she move to the US to skate with Misha? So the timeline would start when she started skating with Misha no matter what.

I suppose in this imaginary timeline she married some random American guy before she started skating with Misha.

Shades of Smart and Dieck.

She may not know the laws, but it sure seems like someone is giving her false hope about citizenship by 2026 even being possible. Either that or they’re bluffing as they think they’ll get lower pcs if they’re seen as not being in the running for Milan.

 

[Karen-W]

You didn't see Karen telling me that it was going to be highly likely a few weeks ago?

And let me ETA clarify that it was a USA vs Italy discussion on who had the better chance to end up with 3 spots, and Karen believed K/O were going to slot into the top 5.

Well, after their SP last night, I was thinking it was certainly possible. But then they went out there and laid that triple-double goose egg of a program, so I'm back to thinking they're gonna crack so hard under the pressure they'll be lucky to finish 11th again in what is a very deep field at Worlds.

She'll selectively forget she ever said that when it doesn't happen.

Nah, I'll freely concede that I was wrong if it comes to pass. Especially if KamOShea end up cracking again and being the reason we lose out on a 3rd spot. That will maybe knock them off the most-favored status they have with the USFS and give other teams a legitimate shot at both Olympic spots. See, I can find a potential upside.

It doesn't even have to be to her now partner. Just far enough ago to make the timeline work.

Well, I will...

Don't the Letovs have a 20-something age son?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I suppose in this imaginary timeline she married any random American guy before she started skating with Misha.

I think you also have to live here. So along with being secretly married, she secretly moved while still skating for germany

The whole plan is very elaborate, you see.

 

[Rukia]

She may not know the laws, but it sure seems like someone is giving her false hope about citizenship by 2026 even being possible. Either that or they’re bluffing as they think they’ll get lower pcs if they’re seen as not being in the running for Milan.

yeah but I guess my point is I'm not putting this all on her. Or maybe she knows and they just told her to bluff idk.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

What’s in the boxes? Chocolates?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

It’s like they’re getting Oscar gift bags up there

 

[MacMadame]

Who is the son of an important politician whose life she saves from being run over and now he owes her.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Maybe she doesn't even know what year it is and she's just vibing.

This podium is very purple and blue.
