2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Ladies SP

[OS]

So excited for Tessa Hong's senior debut! She's such a little gem :luv17:

These teens sure grew up so quickly! She looks maturer this year wow, can't believe she is only 14. Congrats Caroline, 60+ skate... pity i missed it.

I am watching Jsports & NBC

Jsports: very choppy but has Akiko as a commentator,

NBC: smooth , but little delayed and ads between each performances,

Caroline Zhang was great but was very slow even for the Dying Swan music by Camille Saint-Saens.

Tessa is a precocious little talent.

I still don't see why Tessa Hong didn't do Juniors this year considering her age and not being at Nationals since 2014.

Sending good vibes to Angela Wang........Come on sweetheart you can do it!!!!!!!!

Is Tessa wearing padding on her butt?

I've gone through all 13 pages of this thread and not a single stream link is working for me.

Tessa's SP is gorgeous. She somehow doesn't let this music overpower her.

3Lz-3T, 3T looked a little under?

Otherwise great. Evgenia Medvedeva jump placement and all.

Tom Z., if you can turn this girl into a star, I will never criticize you or Ryan Bradley ever again.

 

[Lissy]

I really like Tessa. I hope she can stay healthy! She's going to be fun to watch. However, she needs better music. Her music completely overpowered her.

Wow Tessa Hong was great I especially liked that 2A.

 

[randomfan]

I think Tessa's 3T was a little UR, but everything else looked good enough.

 

[Layback11]

Oh, Tessa...that was absolutely sublime! :luv17: if that ain't in the top 6, I'm going to throw things.

 

[Princessroja]

Wow, Tessa is just a dream to watch.

some think it gives a better shot at Junior worlds. Age eligible seniors are often sent.

Are you accusing her of having a hedgerow in her bustle?

 

[truthbooth]

Tessa did a really nice job tonight - I really look forward to seeing more of her!

 

[s_parks]

3t called under. She is stunning. Wish she stayed with Frank, too bad she supposedly has a tiger mom.

Tessa Hong: Interestingly, starting with a spin and then a footwork sequence, backloading her program. She's quite patient with the music and choreography, very nice to see. Fine 3Lz+3T (doesn't look underrotated to me but could be marked). Shaky 3F landing but no foot down. Nice ina beaur before the 2A. Overall, a quiet, understated, elegant program. Should score quite well.

She probably thought she didn't need to. I wish she had so she could've focused on her under rotations.
