Lol, we sort of turned the News thread into one earlier. But that's about it.

OH....well you can always start one, lol. Or is that too much to ask, my thesis writing friend?

I think sending Karen Chen to Worlds as National Champion is inviting an Alissa Czisny-esque meltdown.

She's just a sentimental favorite to me. I really want her to have success as a skater. I'm fine if she doesn't go, I'm just a huge fan.

hmm..too lower PCS than I expected.

I changed my mind! I pushed through the wall of tiredness and I'm loopy now.

Good for you. Mirai loves you.

Kudos to Paige for completing all her elements green. She can build on this for the future with more performance skills. Good strategy to get the technique down first and let maturity do its magic. Very patient skate from her and her team.

Is Paige the first tonight to have none of her elements reviewed? Kudos indeed :thumbsup:

blah blah blah... let them skate and see

This could be said in response to literally every post in this thread and on The Edge. Isn't the point of discussion to discuss possibilities?

That combo spin from Livvy is super cool! Interesting positions!

I thought Roberta Rodeghiero was here for a moment...but this girl is just as bland

Livvy is delightful. She just looks so genuinely happy to be there. I love it when skaters relish the experience of being at Nationals, because that in itself is an accomplishment. And she was clean! What a joy to watch.

Ha, I don't want to debate it myself. I just wanted to try to keep this thread from turning into insanity.

I don't disagree. That's actually why I was sad she didn't sell the footwork more. Because what she did, she did very well, even it if it wasn't super polished. I could deal with that, just wish she would have sold that footwork. But liked her skate and look forward to seeing more from her!

Love your avatar by the way! Paul is an all-time favorite!

Edea skates are so hideous.

correct... ALL the possibilities

 

[Layback11]

Nothing under review for Livvy!

Livvy Shilling: Good 3F+2T and 3Lo. Nice continuous speed into the change-sit broken leg. Fairly low with the 2A but completed. Very sweet choreography and genuine performance. Very enjoyable and honest.

Same. But she's historically more of a disaster than Gracie Gold (as are all of Tammy Gambill's skaters.)

Good for Livvy Shilling. Ohio represent!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

GO, LIVVY, GO! Slay your first Nationals!

Interesting spin position- it's almost like Courney's pretzel-sit-sideways-camel except hands free and extended

Awww, heart hands with her last sit spin :luv17:

Go Livvy~

 

[OS]

Well done, delightful

What a great skate from Livvy!
