Correct. Same as last year. Also, some of the good juniors competed "up" to senior at nationals so take that in to account. It's not uncommon though, I noticed they don't really inflate the scores of the lower levels. About what they would garner internationally.

"Liu has an adult-like perception when it comes to the anticipation of a skating community triple flipping out over the ability of this otherworldly 13-year-old."

I like that she says twice she works on skating skills and spins etc, it's not all about the jumps for her. Also GREAT that she is woking with Carroll and Orser! Hope this becomes a semi-regular thing. Jackie Wong says that she spent a large chunk of her practice today practicing basics (well.... she did a clean program run through including 3a casually as well
) I am excited for her of course. I don't want to get too excited though. She doesn't need that.

What a grounded young lady. Alysa will turn 14 come August, in the midst of the Junior Grand Prix. I hope she continues to work with other coaches who specialize in different areas so that she can really mature into a beautiful skater. The Senior level in the upcoming years is going to get shaken up. We now have at least two seniors training the 3A, a few Juniors training Quads, and novices going up to Juniors with 3Lz-Lo and 3Lz-3T. Packaged with artistic nuances which will come as they age, the US is really gearing up for some big changes.

She seems to have a great attitude on the pressure of public opinion. Maybe we've at last found a competitor who isn't a headcase? Then again, theory and practice are very different, and she hasn't faced real competitive pressure yet.

None of the links on there work for mejust a black screen. Oh well.
So I wouldn't be surprised if she makes her JGP debut next season! especially if Pooja does indeed move up to the senior GP.
Did you try a different browser? It wasn't working for me in Firefox, but it did w/MS Edge.
There were three triple-triple attempts TOTAL among the juniors, I think?

Depends on what you consider an attempt. There were 6 ladies that had written it down on their planned program content sheet. Half of them popped the first or second jump though.
Good point. I guess we could probably count as “attempts” those who actually went for it (attempted), while the others were “planned but not attempted” (popped, doubled).

I think at 13, her answers are mostly scripted and probably based on what her handlers tell her to say. There really isn't much external pressure on her this year, so I'd expect her to skate well. When she's eligible for big senior events, we'll get a better assessment of her competitive grit.

Alysa seems to have a very solid and sturdy head on her shoulders. Of course she is only 13 and has much more skating and growing left to do in the next few years, but she reminds me of Rachael Flatt in that sense. It seems as if some people are just born with that mindset, so i hope this is the case.

It sounds like Alysa's dad has the right idea as far as social media goes - making sure Alysa doesn't read anything about her, telling her friends not to send stuff to her, etc.

Why in the heck did Vincent feel the need to point out that she is 35 pounds lighter???
Dude, NOOO! Weight is just a meaningless number. Seeing what she can do is enough.

agreed he shouldn't have included that in his post, but i don't think his intentions were poor. i think it was more to point out she is healthy, but still.
