2026 US Nationals Pairs FS "Ghosted (by my triples)"

[peibeck]

Good quality to this pair but the sbs errors will really hurt.

 

[Karen-W]

I mean, O'Shea and Nagy as of right now have a good shot of going to the Olys. Maybe Liu is a good luck charm. If Bedard suddenly switches to Flores, we'll know. I wonder where she'd be if she'd stuck it out with Xie Zhong.

No way will Bedard give Flores a go as a partner - he's on the smaller side like Wang.

 

[slicekw]

Some nice pieces in this pairs skate from Katie/Daniil. Just sigh for pairs overall.

 

[Sarah]

We’re paying for the short program with all the errors…

Hey it works for Sui and Han.

 

[Allen]

THe highland cow stuffie was more exciting than the program

 

[Karen-W]

Well, looks like McBark's death spiral wasn't completely invalidated - they got lucky because that's what kept them ahead of ChanHowe overall.

 

[Karen-W]

Hey it works for Sui and Han.

Ehhhhhh... I'm not sure there's a tactful way to say this without someone coming at me for body-shaming or something, but Bedard struggled with lifts & throws when he and Martins were teamed up &, if memory serves, she was around the same size as Olivia Flores, while Chelsea is noticeably thinner than either.

Just tuned in and I see Johnny is rocking the Grey Gardens matron look. Or something.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK, squirrel friends I just finished work, I see I missed Chelsea and Ryan, darn.

 

[ChillSkate]

Glad it looks like we get to keep Peacock for Group 3!

 

[BrightSkates]

It just occurred to me that Chelsea Liu has skated with 3 of the other men in this event. Mitrofanov, O'Shea, Nagy.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

@AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) is her role model.

Atta girl

She done me proud.

That’s what I was saying in the practice thread on the first day I was saying USFSA done them dirty because every single man on that group 1 ice just about was her previous partner, all they were missing was Brian Johnson.

Don’t jinx it!

 

[ilovesalchows]

Ellie is smoking in that dress

 

[ChillSkate]

Terrible warm up for Ellie from what was on TV

 

[flyingsit]

Kam’s dress is just hideous.

 

[skatfan]

Don’t jinx it!

This is the world feed.

 

[Braulio]

Johnny always wanting to sound more russian than a russian born

 

[Karen-W]

Wait... Whut? Governor Abbott of Texas has weighed in on Efimova's citizenship question according to Ben?!

 

[Karen-W]

Ellie is smoking in that dress

Kam’s dress is just hideous.

FSU at it's best!

 

[PRlady]

The stupid tiles confused me and I was on the Pairs/Women waiting for it to start, when I realized pairs must have started. (Woke up a hour earlier than planned, it’s a cold 3:00 AM here.)

Saw McPark, other than athleticism I don’t see much wonderful there.

 

[once_upon]

I think pneumonia is the line NBC has decided to push. I'm not really sure why--this team is at best in line for first alternate for 4CC. They can just say "battling illness" cause now Ben is saying it. I feel like they've instructed the commenters to say this. Although, to be fair, students say this too when they're very sick and don't know why, even if they test negative. I just read pneumonia now as "worse than a cold but not the flu". I've gone to the doctor and been given a note for work that said "pneumonia-like symptoms" so I'm going to assume Chelsea and I obviously go to the same doctor. Cause, logic.

First thing that crossed my mind was pulmonary hypertension - doesn't she skate in high altitude?

But I would assume they did pulmonary function studies. Plus internet doctoring is extremely dangerous

Is this gonna be our every 4 year Jim Peterson team skates lights out at pre olympic nats?

 

[Matryeshka]

That was Audrey Lu, not Chelsea Liu who skated with Mitrofanov

 

[Lanie]

Bummer for Val and Max. I really like them.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Not especially.

 

[overedge]

Who knew that red was associated with bad and green was associated with good?!? Thanks, Tara!

 

[ilovesalchows]

Chan and Howe will continue their reign of terror
