Skate America 2025 Women’s Free -Misses Accomplished

[Hanna]

And another death. My god how many are there today.

 

[Matryeshka]

Oh Tara, it feels like 15 minutes to us too.

Ami is a first-year senior. Japan has done that with Kaori in 2018, but I’m not sure Ami has Kaori’s iron nerves.

They did it with Mana Kawabe in 2022 also, so it wouldn't surprise me if they sent Ami this year.

Death #2 in this flight…make it stop!

 

[Vagabond]

Nope, Ted. Not Notre Dame de Paris. Would you like to take another guess?

Well done, Ted.

 

[Kateri]

And another death. My god how many are there today.

I blame the murderclowns.

 

[Wyliefan]

That was harsh from Johnny (he'd rather watch people do crossword puzzles!).

 

[peibeck]

Poor Lee, her Carmen died well before the end of this program.

 

[Spikefan]

Is Haein gonna switch between LPs all season? She's back to Carmen again.

She will first check if anyone else at the comp is skating to her music.

 

[canbelto]

Heh Johnny said he'd rather watch people do crossword puzzles.

Very mixed skate for Lee, and also at the mercy of the technical panel.

-2.00 = Falls
108.98 = 3rd Place
175.05 = 2nd Place

That was harsh from Johnny (he'd rather watch people do crossword puzzles!).

Exactly what I was coming to say... that poison green suit is affecting his personality.

 

[mtnskater]

It was a pretty zzzzzz Carmen. Would love to see Haien get her mojo back…and Wakaba too for that matter.

 

[peibeck]

And another death. My god how many are there today.

Are we counting those inflicted by the technical panel?

That was harsh from Johnny (he'd rather watch people do crossword puzzles!).

What was the exact quote? I’m with all the ISU people again and I wanna tell them

 

[Sarah]

That was harsh from Johnny (he'd rather watch people do crossword puzzles!).

Maybe he should tell us how he really feels? Though that was a LONG Carmen…

 

[Hanna]

That was harsh from Johnny (he'd rather watch people do crossword puzzles!).

WTF, he can actually get away with saying that??

 

[jenny12]

I swear, Wakaba has had the most erratic career.

I love her so but this is sadly very true.

 

[Vagabond]

She will first check if anyone else at the comp is skating to her music.

Boy, am I glad that I ate lunch between the Free Dance and this.

 

[Citlali]

And another death. My god how many are there today.

I'd watch that episode of The Twilight Zone. Although it would have been difficult to do in black and white.

 

[tony]

Heh Johnny said he'd rather watch people do crossword puzzles.

Thats not a heh.

 

[Kateri]

She will first check if anyone else at the comp is skating to her music.

Switching back and forth between warhorses mid-season is some skilled rodeo riding - very on point for Skate America.

 

[TAHbKA]

Wow, Ted got Gubanova's last name correctly!!!!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

My mom: there have been a lot of falls in that corner
Me: yeah, skaters do their hard jumps in the corner because they think judges have T. rex vision and can’t see to the side.

The fun thing is I can tell her anything.

 

[CantALoop]

And another death. My god how many are there today.

Seriously if they can penalize music theme violations in ice dance, can they bring back the 90’s ban on dying on ice as a deduction?

 

[mtnskater]

I’m so glad Alysa came back for many reasons. But the shots of her back stage are the most interesting of all the skaters. Doing cartwheels, smiling, laughing, bopping around, waving at the camera.

 

[Spikefan]

I’m pro dying on ice, if we are voting.

 

[Lilia A]

Ami is a first-year senior. Japan has done that with Kaori in 2018, but I’m not sure Ami has Kaori’s iron nerves.

In 2018 they only had two spots. I think it'll be fair game whoever gets the third spot. Some have an outside shot at the podium if they're clean and others would be happy to be in the top 8. Regardless, I don't envy the people who have to make the decision. If only we could split Japan into two countries and send all of them.

He said he'd rather sit on a park bench and do crossword puzzles all day than watch Haein. He's not wrong, that program was pretty snoozy.
