2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Free Dance

Lolololol that was by far the lamest "Kiss & Cry moment" ever :rofl:

So happy for my Shibs. I agree with the result, I think C/B were better in the free even if their programme is not my fave.

I loved C/B. I though they were fantastic but I thought their twizzles were very slow.

I thought they were slower than usual too, but maybe it was just because they were a little tentative about anymore twizzle mistakes. The rest of their FD was skated with verve.

Shibs have a much more enjoyable program, but they need to step it up and not skate cautiously at Worlds.

I feel like there was something about that ice---I think even Chock and Bates was not as speedy as I've seen from them.
 
I enjoyed C/B's FD. I felt like they started off very fierce, but ran out of the steam towards the very end. I'll have to look back and compare to previous versions, but I loved that last lift when they first debuted it and it just didn't have the same impact on me here.

Also: they have a very "fierce" SD and a fierce FD--I wish they showed a bit more contrast in styles.

Shibutanis were really restrained but they held it together, so I consider losing the FD a great thing to happen to motivate them even more for Worlds (and perhaps 4CCs?).

A lot of her dresses to that to her, I've noticed. I don't know who her costumer is, but I keep thinking that she needs to do what Ashley did and get some fashion advice from Marissa- that girl knows how to dress an athletic body

Good point - a double-layered, long-ish skirt with bulky-looking folds of material doesn't do Madison any favors. I thought Madison's SP dress was chicer and more flattering; the short slim fitting skirt and dark color made her look leaner and leggier.
 
I'm torn... I prefer the Shibs by far, but I loved C&B's free.
 
I'm so sad for Kaitlin and Jean-Luc.

Whoever posted the Charlie White comparison I'm so grateful lol. May it never happen again. :hopelessness:
 
You can tell the Shibs was not happy with the FD. I think they know they are capable of better and knew they had opened the door for C/B.
 
Nathan13 is here in KC ugly crying because homies Chock and Bates just made the trip worth it. Unreal!!!
 
Wow the FD fight between the Shibs and C/B was so close! As a fan of both teams, I was on the edge of my seat.

C/B are set up well for 4CC. It's almost better than if they beat the Shibs here with a 120 score. We all know they scores here were ridiculous and a lot of people thought C/B should have won, so they reversed their GPF fortune.

You're assuming the Shibs are going to be resting on their laurels. They're not going to. Notice they were very reserved about their win...
 
You can really tell C/B have been working hard on that FD. Enjoyed it much more than in their previous outings.

I literally screamed when Madi faceplanted. Seeing C/B's scores, H/B were always gonna get 3rd but they could've at least been closer.
