? The video of the ladies SPs have been out for many hoursI can’t believe the senior ladies sp is already judged and scores are out, but video is not available on that US fan zone site.
Well it’s not there now. All the videos from the fan zone site are from last month.? The video of the ladies SPs have been out for many hours
Seems like they took them down. They were there beforeWell it’s not there now. All the videos from the fan zone site are from last month.
In the TeamUSA article, Vincent said that there was no way he was passing it up, so I too wonder what happened.I didn't see Vincent and Andrew in the men's final results. Did they choose not to participate in the challenge? Does the challenge serve as a qualification process for the Nationals?
I am not sure about Vincent. I think something is going on with Andrew. He hasn't participated in anything since the Peggy Fleming Trophy where he did very well. I think he might be injured.I didn't see Vincent and Andrew in the men's final results. Did they choose not to participate in the challenge?

If you follow Tim on Instagram he posts a fair amount of gym videos on his stories- he is working hard. Some of the things he does are really impressive!I did get to watch (most) the Senior Pairs SP before they took it down.
C/J and K/F really look like they are separating themselves nicely from the rest of the pack. The most obvious difference between their two performances is that Alexa stepped out of the throw. Otherwise. fairly close. I am surprised the Alexa and Brandon had such good sync on the spins. Very nice unison, one of the tops in the field, and I would have thought that would only come with a longer partnership.
Ashley and Tim skated pretty clean, no huge problems on elements, and they were still outscored handily, even though K/F had the error on the throw. It was NOT a "wazrobbed" situation. The other two pairs were just more in command. They looked bigger.
I had really high hopes for this pair, but as time goes by, I think they're weaker, not stronger. The twist was low, low, low. Tim has got to get stronger. I'm sure that Frazier and Johnson are hitting the weights, and the difference between those guys and him is striking.
On a podcast Hawayek & Baker did recently, Jean-Luc said he and Kaitlyn got to "play" on the ice in NY before they went back to Gadbois. He said "we're both creative people" ... and they really enjoyed that 6-week interlude to create new moves. Which Marie-France was thrilled with, when they showed her. I'm pretty sure the "play" (aka "work") they did is part of the new FD.OK, I'm very intrigued by Hawayek and Baker's new FD. The one foot circular footwork sequence at the start is divine, and beautifully shows off their skating skills. I also like the strange, haunting, spare cover/remix they're using. It's interesting. The lifts looked pretty effortless already, and it's still early in the season. On the whole this looked really good out of the gate.
As for H/D, this too is much better than their free dances of the last two years. I like the mixing of the different versions of Hallelujah to give it some variation. But I just don't feel like it's all that inspiring choreographically (yet, at least). I'm have trouble remembering any of the steps between the big elements, or within the footwork sequences for example, even though it was skated very well. That's always my barometer of a really special program versus a good one. On the plus side, the lifts look a lot better than last season as well.
Apparently, Tim was injured during the summer (concussion?), so he and Ashley lost a lot of training time. I expect Tim needs to get his strength back ... as well as the fact that their program content (2 new ones this season) is behind the other top pairs because of the lost training time.I did get to watch (most) the Senior Pairs SP before they took it down.
