2019 US Nationals Senior Pairs SP

[MsLayback]

Looking at the schedule for the free. It says 9:30am start time on Saturday, then 11:09 start time for men. There's no way it'll finish in 90 minutes. What gives?

The early groups are at 9 o'clock to 11 then the last group is latter in the day

That makes sense, they've done it that way before, but then when are the final groups? It doesn't say on the schedule.

I'm sorry that's incorrect was thinking of Europeans did it this year... Since it's so early in the morning and there's no commercial breaks the competition should go pretty fast

Those are for groups 1 and 2, groups 3 and 4 of the pairs and men will be shown later in the day (better for tv scheduling)

The Kneirums are just making it into the afternoon groups....whew!

Alexa and Chris weren't that bad.... How were they judged so poorly. Personally I think they only Tarah and Danny were better, though I get 2nd and 3rd, so they should be in 4th. Once again, Nationals judges and their complete disregard for skating skills. Make a mistake and you're done.

Alexa and Chris weren't that bad.... How were they to judged so badly. I think the only team which skated better than them was Tarah and Danny

That is the where the +5/-5 GOE makes such an impact

 

[MsLayback]

See everybody later during the ladies pm me happy to share sports gold

All last skated five pairs are nice and strong.
Especially Cain-Leduc (I love them best) and of course Kayne-O'Shea.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Mirai looks lovely commentating....

The other pairs are eager to bury the Knierims.

The skate radio guys say Alexa and Chris can make up the 10 points but then added “but they’ll have to do it.”

I’ve got no problem with criticism of National’s judging in general, but not in this case. Chris and Alexa were just not very good in this phase.

They were beaten soundly and fairly by a lot of couples.

I rode to the arena with someone who said that had been changed. She seemed very knowledgeable. But who knows. This nationals is a total mess compared to the other one I've been to. Was madly tweeting everyone and his dog about Skate Radio being fubar, when I get to the suite Brent has no idea anything is wrong with it..they set up an event with Scott Hamilton and sell not a single ticket when Mirai sold out in 20 minutes and do not know until I tell them that the page returns a response that all the tickets are sold...so they fixed it now...I hope they can actually sell some. If they don't have skate radio fixed by tomorrow I am going to pitch a fit.

That was a fantastic pairs SP event!

No, no it wasn't.

Got in just in time to see C/L. They were great, but what happened to the no commentary, NBC Gold? I had gotten used to that. Ugh.

They always do commentary on Nationals. Well, IceNetwork always did so I naturally expected NBC Gold to do so as well.

Alexas dress is everything!!

Alexa is everything!

Not really. She stands out like she didn't get the fashion message but still glad to see her I think so far what I have seen the results are right but the scores are very generous compared to Russian and Canadian Nationals.
