Dean kicked her in the back during the spiral entrance to the last spin...

If Alexa and Chris are looking good in test skates, they should send them with Ashley and Tim.

 

[tulosai]

This here is a nailbiter. I personally enjoyed that more than C/T though.

Ashley Cain / Los Angeles FSC

Decent jumps, but mistake on throws. Still needs more polish on all elements. They both still seem pleased

Didn't Marissa pass over Tim when she was deciding who to partner with?

 

[Jammers]

Thank you local NBC for showing bull@@@ while Pairs was going on.

 

[100yen]

Do you watch US pairs often...?

Nah... that's probably why haha

I'm trying to find where I saw it on Twitter so take this with a grain of salt, but apparently they are looking really good in their monitoring sessions.

 

[silverfoxes]

Don't like their music at all, but those I-spins and spirals are wow!

 

[Tastetherainbow]

So far NBC is showing 2A<-1lo<-3S<<, projecting at around 115. This could be D/F's to lose.

 

[s_parks]

Quite promising for a first nationals lp together!

 

[Alchamei]

OH. MY. GOD. They need a lot of work and improvement, but I just watched their SP and god, they are amazing! Ashley has great jumps and Timothy has great flexibility. Together it's such a perfect match. Stay together and please slay!

Why did Cain drop singles for pairs?

Leduc has some rather admirable flexbility.

She's pretty much always floated between both singles and pairs. Problem is she's tall for a pairs girl, so it's hard for her to find a skilled pairs guy whose height works with her.

 

[Tesla]

Honestly? I've been unimpressed with the past three pairs. They as slow as turtles out there. I agree that S/K should go to Worlds if they're ready.

 

[cathlen]

Get used to it. NBC decided that's what their audience wants, so that's what we get

I don't really need to. Other than US nationals I watch nothing on NBC

 

[Chemistry66]

Booo, into second

 

[NicolettaL]

Okaaay. Now I'm glad that USFSA made this new selection criteria

 

[cathlen]

They lost to Castelli/Tran? That's suprising...

 

[Lissy]

The shock on Marissa and Mervin's faces was adorable!!!
