2018 US Championships Sr. Ladies FS

Backloading just seems like a really bad idea for her. She looked so tentative going into the lutz and flip.
 
Ouch. Poor Tessa-- I like to see a good recovery on jumps after a fall. But not sure it's fun to see it happen twice, though it speaks well for Tessa's mental game.

People were blaming Tom Z for all the backloading but now that shes with Frank, she's still doing it. Maybe its her idea? Not a good one but still...
 
Dang it I thought I'd be able to watch the final group live
But I'll have to go to bed
 
Tessa should keep this program for next year. The first half is ridiculously charming. Her dress is one of my favorite I’ve seen in a long time.
 
I wish Tessa stopped being so focused on backloading...she really is a pretty skater and I think without the backloading she wouldn't have so many mistakes. Oh well I guess.
 
Not clean and she could do with a little more flow, but somehow I liked it. A classic little figure skating performance. :)

Yes but restructure it so the jumps are more evenly spaced. What's 10% when you lose more points for not completing or mediocre completion of said jumps?

Because that first half really is charming.
