2025 US Nats Womens SP PBP - This Time We Want an Alien Superstar(r)

[Matryeshka]

Did someone take Alyssa's voodoo doll before Amber went on the ice?

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Ahhhhhccckkkk

 

[flyingsit]

Welcome to first place, Alysa

 

[floridaice]

Amber -- shake it off

 

[MacMadame]

Putting the 3X in the short. Ballsy.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

OK, let's see if Amber's black boob-bandage dress can break the spell of Alysa's cream boob-bandage dress.

This is one of those dresses that looks normal from far off and then you zoom in on the top and you’re like wow that was a weird thought that made this dress

 

[Theatregirl1122]

well i guess alysa will lead going into the free

The US nationals judges can do anything. Don’t doubt them now.

 

[thvu]

Two footed on the 3axel, but I think it was rotated.

And smart to double the toe. The 3flip landing wasn't stable enough, and she corrected immediately. Active thinking under pressure, not panicking.

I can see where this competition - the weight of expectation and skating last, would result in Glenn being nervous as all hell, but wow has she handled it in this program. So. Much. Growth.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

what do we think? Fourth place? Third place?

 

[peibeck]

Glenn: All these jumps have been very nervy. Finally finding her "inner Amber" in the footwork. Going to be close between her and Alyssa, I think.

 

[tangerine dream]

what do we think? Fourth place? Third place?

Second

 

[Karen-W]

Awwww, Amber. Don't feel badly. You're still going to probably be in 2nd place going into the FS.

 

[genevieve]

Damn. I love this SP so much, but Amber skated that scared, maybe for the first time all season.

 

[flyingsit]

Amber should skate this program in one of Ashley Cain’s unitards

 

[skatfan]

3rd or 4th?

 

[Braulio]

what do we think? Fourth place? Third place?

Third

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Q for the 3A

 

[Wyliefan]

Not the best we've seen from her this season, but she looked like she was enjoying it!

 

[once_upon]

Shoot me, I like that more than Lui

 

[Rukia]

lol that's behind bradie???? oookkkkk

 

[Karen-W]

Two footed on the 3axel, but I think it was rotated.

called q

 

[tangerine dream]

It was cautious but Amber will be fine. She won the GPF, she could finish 4th here (she won't) and she'll be on the world team.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Is one of the reasons why I don’t like at nationals skating in reverse order of popularity or world standings, so no matter what Amber and Ilia and Madison and Evan all have to skate last, it shouldn’t be that way

 

[Karen-W]

lol that's behind bradie???? oookkkkk

I mean, if the judges were going to put it behind Bradie, they might as well have put it behind Sarah too. Or, you know, had it ahead of both of them, lol.

 

[MacMadame]

what do we think? Fourth place? Third place?

Live scoring said 3rd

 

[Wyliefan]

Amber should skate this program in one of Ashley Cain’s unitards

No, I like this dress on her!

 

[Prancer]

Whoa, third.

 

[genevieve]

I did not see that going (barely) behind Bradie!

 

[Lara]

Did not expect that.

Yes on smart doing the double, but she needed the triple.

It’s ok, she’s our GPF gold medalist and she’ll be fine.
