Worlds 2025 Women’s Free: “Make Amber Great A-Glenn”

[Brooke]

Alysa gives off serious Dude energy. Dare I say she abides?

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Kaori will forever be one of my favorite skaters just because of her capacity to show true joy, support and happiness for other skaters. She will always be gold standard even if she doesn't win it.

 

[Vagabond]

Figure skating needs her. And more like her.

She is one of a kind.

 

[viennese]

The cartwheel kid is back

 

[Wyliefan]

Sad for Isabeau, but happy for Mone.

Although Isabeau did REALLY well for just having come back from an injury.

I do think, even though she couldn't hang on for the top 10, that Maddie Schizas should still be proud of what she did this week. Especially considering she ended up 12th and 4CC's last month and was 18th at Worlds last year.

I hope Maddie isn't too hard on herself, she handled the pressure better than she has in the past and while I'm sure Sara-Maude or Kaiya would love the chance to try for a spot at the OQE I don't know that either would have a particularly good chance at getting one.

OK, which one of you updated Alysa's Wikipedia page already?

 

[tangerine dream]

maybe some of the network people?

I guess. But should she really be insulting them like that?

 

[Lanie]

Someone is waving a Peep stuffie. An FSUer?

 

[MacMadame]

I guess. But should she really be insulting them like that?

What did she say? (I was ignoring her.)

If Alysa gets her 3A back, watch out.

 

[Lara]

It’s just hitting that the US finally has a women’s champion again. This is huge and I’m hopeful Alysa has the right mindset to deal with the attention.

 

[dupa]

Unfortunately from I’ve been told, her mother.

Well, she should step down, sorry Hire a stylist. @theatergirl could be a good choice. Just sayin'

 

[Karen-W]

If Alysa gets her 3A back, watch out.

My goodness! I'd completely forgotten about that!

 

[Colonel Green]

Now, the wait to see whether somebody in the current administration congratulates Liu on social media, and if so, what her response is...

 

[Matryeshka]

Gold looks good on Alyssa. Though she looks more nervous now than before she skated.

I wonder how this will affect her for next year. This year was for funsies. Next year is for realsies.

 

[tangerine dream]

What did she say? (I was ignoring her.)

Something about how she was sitting with a bunch of people who aren't skating fans. (I'm mostly joking, I doubt they care)

 

[Amy L]

Alysa gives off serious Dude energy. Dare I say she abides?

She wanted to keep what she said to Kaori private, but I imagine it was something like "I fukin love you dude, no cap no cap"

 

[Karen-W]

It’s just hitting that the US finally has a women’s champion again. This is huge and I’m hopeful Alysa has the right mindset to deal with the attention.

I think she does. That's how she was able to go out there tonight and skate the way she did. There's just something very special about her mental makeup.

They won't congratulate her when they find out that her dad is an immigrant

 

[Colonel Green]

Not when they find out that her dad is an immigrant

I think Trump would have been much more likely to publicly congratulate Amber, assuming he only saw a photo of her and did not look up any additional information.

 

[skipaway]

Alysa has such an early 2000s skatergrrrl vibe. I mean, who says "what the hell" in figure skating?!!!

Tonya Harding was the WTF girl.

 

[caseyedwards]

If Alysa gets her 3A back, watch out.

Why would she even bother?

 

[MacMadame]

It's not even 8pm here. What am I going to do with myself now?

 

[overedge]

I think Trump would have been much more likely to publicly congratulate Amber, assuming he only saw a photo of her and did not look up any additional information.

And then when he was called out on it, he'd say he'd never heard of her and did you know that he saved the skating rink in Central Park

 

[floridaice]

Not when they find out that her dad is an immigrant

And left China because of Tinanmen Square

 

[Jarrett]

Alysa sounds just like my niece and they are similar ages. It just cracks me up. I couldn’t be happier with the top 6. A lot of great storylines across the board.

 

[Jammers]

What the hell did we just see? I figured Chiba was the last best chance to beat Kaori and when she didn't i thought well that's it Alysa doesn't have the firepower right now to win. I thought well she's skating great maybe she'll win the silver then i saw the technical score and i was like is she gonna win this thing?

 

[Simone411]

I know I wasn't here at FSU to share in the total spectacular fantastic excitement, but I've been watching USA on TV and I've seen all the skaters. It's something I can't help because I have to get out of that darn wheelchair. But that's okay!!

Like oh my stars! Twinkle them! Alysa was so excited, happy, zealous and elated while skating so spectacular! Kaori was out of this world! She was fantabulous, and she and Alysa were crying and hugging each other! Then I saw Kristi Yamaguchi and she was crying! I also saw Peggy Fleming and Scott Hamilton.

I knew when Alysa decided to come back after those two years that she was going to sparkle and shine! Well, she did more than sparkle and shine. She was illuminating!!

Sorry y'all! I haven't been this excited in a long time and it feels great!

It's just after 8pm here. I am going to watch Murder, She Wrote and Bewitched.
