2016 US Nationals Senior Ladies SP

[Plisskin]

Polina U.S. champ?

 

[hippomoomin]

I see Polina as the national champion this year. She is the U.S. version of Anna Pogorilaya this year.

Nice save with the 3F-2T, but it's not enough.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Gracie almost eats the boards... Again...

 

[SashaJuliaSpins]

I am out! Why did I stay up again? Happy for Polina

OMG, I didn't even think she was capable of a save like that but I am SOOO relieved!!!! She got into it and performed well. Bad news with the lutz, but she did everything else she could. Ironically, it wasn't the flip this time...

Score: 62.50

Barely ahead.

 

[badknees]

Wow, podium choices are wide open!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Okay. Snarky but serious question. Does Gracie not have any friends to tell her how awful her eyebrows are? It takes away from her gorgeous face.

They're not always bad, but when they are it's a bad sign for her skating.

 

[kresslia]

Honestly if I was in the audience I'd want my money back.

 

[MoonlightSkater]

Gracie Gold~ tango and black dress with red under the skirt.

Looked really blank going into the program and popped the Lutz. Only came alive after the 3F-2T. Why must she headcase now?

I really do like the use of edges in the choreo of this program.

 

[winky97]

Ugh! Gracie and Ashley got some work to do in LP.

 

[casualfan]

Well, at least Gracie added a combo jump to her flip. She had such a great opportunity there. Guessing she'll go into 2nd.

 

[Jammers]

Wow Ashley and Gracie just want to hand the title over to Polina without a fight even.

 

[Scovies]

Good on Gracie and Ashley for not giving up on the performance, but... yikes.

 

[solar]

So all most of my favorites ended up not doing well :sad21: Well... there's always the FS? How likely is there to be a podium shake up after the FS?

 

[badknees]

Gracie's eyebrows are fine, it's the bottle blond that needs to go.

Barely ahead.

At least she got 2nd place, she can still win if Polina bombs.

 

[tinlizzie]

Wow, Polina has probably won the SP. US ladies are so inconsistent, it's hard to be a fan.

 

[randomfan]

Cute how Gracie's water bottle has Carly's name on it!

But 62.50...Polina's still leading by 8 points.

 

[andyjo24]

I hate to be saying this, but the American ladies are VERY weak mentally.......
