2019 US Nationals Senior Pairs SP

[ruffledgrouse]

Winter and Max's elements were a little shaky here and there, but I loved everything in between. The final spin was quite nice

Showing my ignorance .... they want me to install Flash player. Is there any reason not to? (I try not to install stuff without my computer tech a/k/a son's okay ... but I have been known to ask him for forgiveness later. So far, he always cleans my computer up afterwards.

I installed it, and it was OK. Nothing bad happened.

I've heard Charlie commentate pairs before, and really enjoyed his "notes" as well as his positive remarks. And he doesn't talk to much during the skates.

Yeah, I actually kind of enjoy Charlie's commentary style. He tries hard to be positive but you can tell when he doesn't like something or think something could be improved.

 

[semosk8tfan]

I think Charlie does a good job.

Deardorff/Settlage

Berlin RYX for music
cute black dress for her

3 twist, nice
SBS jump, 3 something. fall from him
lift, very nice
throw 3loop, very nice
BO death spiral, fine
SBS spins, nice unison at beginning, then off
and somewhere in there they did a SS but clearly I missed it


Charlie and Michael love the simplicity of the program, but I think they're not a very dynamic team to begin with, so the quiet program just looked bland. To me, anyway.

53.14, into 3rd

Kinda like Ted Barton?

 

[skylark]

Flash player won't do damage to your computer. I had to install one too to watch.

thank you so much! going after it now.

Kinda like Ted Barton?

Much more critical than Ted, I think. In a good way. I'm all for concrete, fair criticism of senior athletes.

Yeah, in a good way. I like Charlie and Michael as a team. It's good commentary, IMO. Useful, enjoyable, but not overbearing or catty.

Tara and Johnny on NBCSN. I will stick to my phone and Charlie

The red hats some of the teams are wearing... they say KC? Some sort of incognito support for John Caughlin? I would imagine USFS had a chat with everyone and said what they could and couldn't do or say.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Three pairs teams in and I'm liking it.

 

[MsLayback]

Love Charlie and Micheal camaraderie...FYI Will share my sports gold pm me changing password after national

 

[Hyena]

I didn't realize it until Jackie Wong tweeted about it, but all the couples in this group are new pairings! Looking forward to seeing who impresses.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I'm loving the ACTUAL COLORS that the girls of this group are wearing. Jessica looks like a sugar coated tropical starburst :gclap:

Though they were describing what a group 4 lift is. . .which I can appreciate. . .however, White and Weiss are superior by all means

Calalang/Johnson

music, Salsation by David Shire, very salsa and high energy
him all black, her multicolored bright dress

SBS jumps, her fall
3 twist, very nice
BO death spiral, fine
SBS spins, pretty good unison
SS, okay
throw, 3Lz maybe?, okay
lift, good

not bad for their first year together. really just her fall on the SBS for big mistakes

62.94, into 1st. nicely done

 

[4everchan]

i am watching the stream.... not sure who is commenting but he is wrong.. there is no bonus at midway in pairs

 

[semosk8tfan]

So are we 0/4 for SBS jumps? C/J twist was awesome though

 

[Sjs5572]

Calalang and Johnson so dynamic inside arena. Fantastic throw 3lz. Buty once again, sbs jumps are achilles heel for US couples.
