U.S. Women [#7]: Make Me a Believer!

[honey]

On SOI when they wear other people’s costumes from years past it is almost always from group numbers.

This set of costumes, originally from 2015, are being used again on this tour.

I think it has to be these costumes she would have been referring to, it doesn’t look like the others are repeats (but I could be wrong). I think it’s kinda fun when they bring back these old costumes and it seems the skaters always get a kick out of seeing who previously wore the costume.

Just a shout out from Puerto Vallarta, squirrel friends, fantastic city, but it is beyond humid here, oh Lord!


Hope everyone’s doing well wherever they are!!

Alysa’s Worlds FS is posted on her personal Instagram. Don’t think that will be taken down anytime soon.

Anything Goes had an interview with Massimo Scali after women's SP in Boston Worlds and he talked extensively about working with Alysa, which is interesting.

Just a monthly reminder that there could be 7 US women skating at Nationals next year who've scored internationally over 200 points. Jeez! I've never seen this before -

Alysa - 226
Bradie - 225 {2019}
Amber - 215
Isabeau - 215
Elyce Lin - 213
Ava - 201
Sarah - 200

ETA - Lindsey - 199
Starr - 191, I added her here. Two women in the 190s (that I can think of) in the just under the hot 200.

Lindsay Thorngren's ISU Personal Best Total Score is 199.46.

The more the merrier!

Do you recall when she scored that? I feel bad for her. You can tell that she is a motivated young woman, selects interesting music and is ambitious technically, but her tech is failing her ...

2022 World Juniors.

On a related matter, you observed that Tennell's Personal Best of 225 is from 2022, but she obtained a score of 220.29 just two months ago. I don't think her obtaining a new Personal Best next season is out of the question.

I personally believe that Bradie is the biggest threat to the 2025 US triumvirate

Speaking of Bradie, she's doing something with Mozart. Interesting that they're giving her classical again. But I like the look of it in this snippet. I can never get enough Mozart programs!

Not strategically. She’s been to the Olys, she’s had a lot of injuries, she’s in her mid-twenties and there’s real talent in the Ava-Sarah-Elyce triumvirate. Sending one of the younger ones to Milan means Oly experience for 2030….

But I doubt anything will dethrone the current top three short of major injury or a cataclysmic fall season.

Health is Bradie`s Waterloo. But, I`d rather watch her than some of the other top contenders - Alysa for example. Bradie is matuer with something to say. I don`t need my female skaters to be perky. Though judges are liking Alysa`s jumps.

I thought Alysa’s SP was the most mature of any of the ladies (in the world not just U.S.). It was definitely not perky. Her movement is so much more authentic than many of her competitors IMO.

I like Tennell's skating a lot, but Alysa Liu is, for me, the most watchable skater there has been in any discipline in a long time.
