Thanks, ImaginaryPogue and Scout! I can't even get the results page to work for me now, so I appreciate the commentary.

[Scout]

i'll leave the pbp to ImaginaryPogue...I always seem to miss some element, but I can add in my comments

[ImaginaryPogue]

McKenzie Crawford WO: Rolling Stones Medley

My feed is iffy.

3s
2t+2t
3 toe (on replay, I missed this the first time)
3loop UR
2A+2t
3S UR
2A
nice positions in spiral
okay spin

Also boring.

61.75/95.65, 2nd

Guess I won't be needed for pbp! Enjoy everyone!

Wow! Rylie was great! Clean skate, another very promising skater. Apparently it's her 16th birthday!

[ImaginaryPogue]

Rylie McCulloch-Casarsa WO: “Ever After” (soundtrack, I think)

2a
3s+2t
3t+2t+2loop
nice spin, though slow flow out
3loop
okay spiral
walley jump (I think) to 2A+2t
3t (laboured but delivered)
okay spin
SLSS
2A
okay spin

She's proud. She's got some presence, but I found it a little dull. She simply skated from element to element. Of course, she landed said elements, no urs (it's her birthday – sweet sixteen, so thats good. She's very happy). The audience is singing happy birthday.

I don't mind if you want to take over. I'm not as knowledgeable as I'd like to be with singles.

haha If you want me to I can. You do Scherrer, I wasn't paying much attention to her, I'll pick up now.

I think that the women's skaters in our country move up into the senior ranks way too soon. There's no reason why some of these ladies can't still be competing in the junior ranks and try to get some success there. Moving into senior with only a couple of triples is setting yourself up for disappointment.

She'll get better with her interpretation of the music and emotion with time. It's her first year as a senior, and has a very good jumping technique. I'm looking forward to seeing her in the coming years.

Erin Scherrer WO : The Mission soundtrack (don't know if that's the only piece used, but I recognized it)

2loop
2s (supposed to be 3s+2t)
2a
meh spin
spiral sequence (nothing special, poor positions imo)
3t w/ touchdown of hand
2a
??jump (hand down)
1a
spin – she's lost a lot of steam.

Very hesitant throughout. Looks disappointed

A few thoughts from the arena...keeping in mind that I'm not a technical specialist, just someone who enjoys skating! The first flight of ladies was a mix of results. For me Najarro has a grace on the ice that is beyond her age. She had some difficulties with jumps but I look forward to seeing her in years to come. Mckenzie had a tough skate...nothing more to say. Rylie looked like she enjos being on the ice, something many of the ladies don't show! Nice skate, and on her 16th bday too! I've seen Erin in years past, and she was much better. She is tall (for a skater) but doesn't use the nice lines she could. Kristy seemed happy to be in the ice--noticed that yesterday too!
