2026 US Nationals Women's FS "Liu Monsters go Gaga"

[canbelto]

Starr always has the most elegant way of skating to center ice.

What in God's name does Alysa have on her head?

Alysa's a total It Girl. I just assume anything she does is considered trendy with the Gen Z crowd.

 

[Karen-W]

Sonofagun - my cable box decided now was the time to reboot. Luckily, I have Peacock bookmarked on my computer and quickly opened up another browser tab so I won't miss Starr!

What in God's name does Alysa have on her head?

New dye job that looks like Cheshire Cat stripes.

I think Elyce should consider a new choreographer next season, maybe an ice dancer? Her skating has potential, but it needs an infusion of spark and personality.

Amber did her choreography initially and then for some reason the team went back to last year short program.

Okay .... now is the point in the competition where it changes from being a pleasant, relaxing, entertaining evening to a nail-biting, nerve-wracking, boiling pot of anxiety and emotion.

 

[Badams]

I think Alysa's hair is beautiful. And absolutely suits her.

Yes… no final practice movements, no beating her legs up…

 

[personwhoishere]

Did I miss when Starr actually got a triple lutz? I thought she didn't have one for most of her career.

 

[skateycat]

Mr Skateycat made dinner and now I’m back in front of the tv. The kitties have already staked their claims on my lap.

Go Starr!

 

[Wyliefan]

I'm glad Starr isn't leaving altogether.

 

[Karen-W]

So, Tara tells us "When Starr is on, she is VERY on" and she promptly has a slightly wonky landing on her next jump followed by a fall on the one after that...

 

[Lanie]

Starr was doing great then splat

 

[Theatregirl1122]

They successfully jinxed Starr.

Okay .... now is the point in the competition where it changes from being a pleasant, relaxing, entertaining evening to a nail-biting, nerve-wracking, boiling pot of anxiety and emotion.

I don't really feel that this time. I think it's a combination of the top skaters being pretty consistent and the olympic team being so obvious. It's a nice change!

 

[canbelto]

Starr is one of the few skaters who can skate to Twilight and not have it be cheesy.

 

[Braulio]

Starr in pairs could be a STAR, just needs to learn quickly and keep her individual jumps needed for the side by side

 

[slicekw]

I wonder if Starr will skate to herself singing in pairs. I expect she might.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Starr jumping like an American pair skater with doubles and falls on 3T

 

[personwhoishere]

I wonder if Starr will skate to herself singing in pairs. I expect she might.

Was literally wondering this exact same thing a min ago. Wouldn't surprise me tho. No copyright issues.

 

[tangerine dream]

She needs to find a partner with a decent voice. Then they can record duets and skate to them. It'll be iconic.

 

[peibeck]

Starr had a rough practice this afternoon, so while not perfect this was a pleasant surprise. Good for her.

 

[Matryeshka]

Falling on a triple toe puts her right in the money for pairs....how's her double salchow?

Snarkiness aside, I like Starr and am excited about her transition. Her skating pairs feels right.

 

[Badams]

Starr is so beautiful and elegant. Always styled so gorgeously. I look forward to her skating pairs and I hope she excels. Plus, we get more Starr.

A duet. There will be an American Idol style comp via IPS.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Peanut butter cookies in the oven

Where are mine?

Snarkiness aside, I like Starr and am excited about her transition. Her skating pairs feels right.

I really hope Starr isn't the next in the long line of US women who have switched to pairs and lost all their jumps.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

All the commercials have to do with medication or a mattress.

Seeking partner for pairs, must be able to land triples and sing harmonies

The Dancers from yesterday took Alysa dress shopping at Silver R Us

It's Platinum!
