U.S. Women [#8]: Meet Me in St. Louis

[SkateFanBerlin]

Alysa was so easy on 60 minutes. Apparently nothing phases her. Probably could do broadcast commentary if she wanted.

All the top ladies are getting attention but Liu seems to get the most. This may be good for Amber. All those obligations and reporters are a distraction. With much of that going to Alysa Amber can just focus on getting out 2 clean programs (my goal for her )

Amber was getting all of the attention this time last year, still defended, but then had the triple axel mishap at worlds in short programs.

Watching the practices right now, everyone looks rather good so far.

Great news everyone! I can officially confirm that the white circle sofa has been adopted by the junior and novice skaters. We (at the Enterprise Center) have a new kiss and key that features a very large LED display along with a new (bright and clean) white sofa! I think it may be the same sofa they used at Worlds.

 

[my little pony]

by adopted do you mean they are taking it home so we get something else?

Is the new sofa the same style/design as the previous one?

Same color. They both look like they came from Wayfair or IKEA. This one is not round, it’s straight with three large cushions.

It’s currently at the Centene Center. I figured they would move it over here once the events concluded there tonight. It may be gone from senior nationals, but it shall never be forgotten…

At least there are no AmLactin bottles

Congratulations to the new U.S. junior women champion: Angela Shao. Angela made her Junior Grand Prix debut this season, scoring 170.68 which was about 3 points off the bronze medal. In a stellar free skate, Angela landed seven triples and scored a whopping 187.44 points. Annika Chao and Hannah Kim rounded out the top three, followed closely by Jessica Jurka who placed fourth.

Junior Nationals Results

How exciting, and I was going to ask people who are there when they watch the practices which music they were hearing for Alysa. Glad to know we already have confirmation.

I watched her practice runthrough. She was just marking the jumps, but IMO the Gaga program is so much better than MacArthur Park. I can't wait to see her compete with it.

 

[Skaterbob]

I swear Emilia looks like she could be Loena‘s younger sister.

Yea when I saw her in Juniors last year that was my first thought. Better jumps than Loena by a lot though.

I love what I'm seeing so far of Alysa's revamped Gaga FS! I am sad that she didn't do her 3A, even aside from her marked run through.

I don't love Alysa's revamped tiger stripes. Loved them on Jimmy Fallon but now that they're encircling the crown of Alysa's head, my eyes keep going there not in a good way. The styling is giving me unfortunate Friar Tuck bald circle vibes!

I liked the music for sure. Someone had posted a edit of an example gaga program on reddit with interludes from her concerts and this one has that quality too. I always enjoy the interludes not just 3 songs put together like it was before.

LOL!

Do you really think they care what fans say... NBC needs to be one raising a stink IMHO

Paying members, yes. How do you think people got companies to change their products or ads? Let them know they won't buy. Been there, done that. One auto maker took their ad off the air.
Currently I'm not a member of USFSA but all these comments here may prompt me to write them, after Nationals. Will not send a list of usernames, of course. Offer to start a Go Fund Me for a defunct couch. Yes, I'm serious. If you think something is that bad, at least make your voice heard. Enough voices heard, maybe they'll get one of their major supporters to buy them a new couch!

Or cede the area to the broadcast partner and have their set department handle it.
