Maybe Alyssa's Wylie season has begun! :yay:
Skate Canada is almost always a great competition for Alissa, don't get your (or her) hopes up just yet!

Tonight proved one thing: the judges are willing to reward Czisny if she does well. I refuse to get excited, though, just because we've been down this path before. She comes out, guns blazing, seems great, this might be her year, etc...and then Nationals happens, and clunk. Or in the case of 2007 and 2009, decent Nationals, but go BOOM at worlds.
ETA: Toni, exactly.
worlds results not withstanding, I'm glad she's still out there skating. even with falls she's one of the most lovely out there!
Alyssa's SC win means that all she has to do to stay in the running for the Final is to place top 4 at TEB. Looking at the field, apart from Asada and Nagasu, if she stands up that shouldn't be too hard.
For years I never really understood why some people were all wrapped up about her (all I saw was a bundle of nerves) but I have to say I enjoyed this FS. There's a nice quality to it and I think she does a good job of performing the theme.
So the streak has been broken and a USA Lady finaly has won Gold at an ISU event.
I never would have picked Alissa to be the one to do it but somehow it seems fitting and I am happy for her.
Not sure if I am ready for the "sunny side of the street" but Alissa's smile sure is tempting.
I believe there is a fundamental change in Alyssa's jumping technigue. She appears to getting a lot more lift on her lutz. Her first toe was huge. There was no doubt as to whether the jumps were clean or not.
Great for Alissa. So happy for her. Alissa is a just appreciate the moment. Can't get your hopes up ...
And not a bad debut by Agnes Z. Not the best freeskate but then again, some slack can be cut given it was the debut. However, that said- I still don't see what's so great about her- she does seem to have large jumps though, but that's about all I could see.
