2018 US Championships Sr. Ladies SP

[twirlingblades]

First year I'm watching US Nats without icenetwork and I'm forced to use a bootlegged livestream of a Japanese TV station to see the US ladies. :think:

I ditched IN years ago. Its not worth near what is paid.

Looking at the schedule you really can see how low the ladies have fallen - SP is in the middle of the week and a church night for a lot of people and the FS is in the middle of the day on Friday. So the availability of big audiences or showing events live to draw in new fans is low.

**I can't get on the feeds, have we seen the ladies with the US flag shirts yet? Because it's not Nationals until those ladies are spotted

Free skate is on primetime NBC on Friday. It's usually on Saturday but NBC would rather show NFL playoffs so skating got Friday instead.

Good skate, terrible camera work.

I'm having a deja-vu moment. Where did I see Hannah before this season?

 

[dna5019]

Good job, Hannah! Really liked her music. :clapper:

 

[Lissy]

This is an example of a skater choosing music that fits them like a glove.

I ditched IN years ago. Its not worth near what is paid.

The sad thing is I'm totally willing to pay $$ to watch figure skating... but not for the kind of service they offer. If they can afford office space in "downtown Manhattan" (as I think they say on the podcast), then they can afford to upgrade their streaming services...

seems like a low score for hannah...not sure why she's behind courtney

Held my breath during Bradies combo

It's Ryan Bradley!

Swoooooooooon. Ryan Bradley still is EVERYTHING. His programs were always the most entertaining, especially the Mozart and the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy! He had height for DAYS on his Quad and 3A. I could go on all day about his other assets, too, but I’ll stop .

But seriously, I miss him HAHAHAHA

 

[Lissy]

Bradie looks like she's losing a little steam. Still lovely though.

 

[bixby]

Go Bradie!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

Bradie, Mirai and Karen to the Olympics! I don't care in what order.

I'm having a deja-vu moment. Where did I see Hannah before this season?

If not last year's Nationals, then probably 2015 GP China or Russia.

 

[penniavaswen]

Wow, Bradie! No worry about landing her jumps, so can really enjoy the steps and transitions.

 

[charmblade]

Yessss Bradie!!! I was hoping she'd be able to just do what she's been doing all season. Glad to see she's not being affected by the new pressure on her.

 

[shiroKJ]

Good for Bradie's consistency this season but I just can't get into her skating. Hopefully she'll hang onto those jumps going forward while she matures her presentation.

 

[Skatefan15]

YES BRADIE YES ONE OF MY FAVS I'M SO EXCITED

 

[Seren]

Good for Bradie. I have to admire her- she saw the opening and she took it.

 

[Yatagarasu]

Well done but ... honestly, after seeing her skate several times now, I'm just bored out of my mind. She's as dull as dish water to me. I already don't remember the program. But hey, she's stable so well done.
