2019 US Nationals Senior Ladies SP

[bigsisjiejie]

Oh dear, PTSD flashbacks to Lajoie and Lagha's short dance from last year.

PTSD is right. I DESPISE Bla Bla Cha Cha Cha to the point of having to mute the sound.

 

[Silver Ice]

I really enjoyed amber’s program too.

Got home late, so bradies the first one I’ve seen so far


I like hannah’s skating but I’m not in love with the cut of the music, something felt off flow-wise

 

[musicfan98]

Really good performance, especially the jumps.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Now I’m just hearing “Oh Mickey you’re so fine you’re so fine you blow my mind hey Mickey,” thanks

I’m sexy, I’m cute, I’m popular to boot! I’m b****in, great hair! The boys all love to stare!

It’s so weird to have no Gracie, Ashley, Mirai, polina, Karen... but all these girls are stepping up

For people wondering how this Nationals was going to be without Ashley and Mirai for the first time since 2007 i'd say these girls are showing it might not be so bad. It's time for the new generation to take over.

I, for one, am looking forward to getting my nerves trampled and heart ripped out by a new crop of girls :yes:

I do miss Ashley staring us all down and flirting with us. The others not as much as I thought I would. I would have liked to see Polina finish healthy though.

Starr is the queen of dresses

That's alright, that's okay, you're gonna pump our gas someday!

As if Gracie, Ashley and Mirai didn't do that for years.

Your realistic expectations are quite endearing and I’d like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Starr! Starr! Starr! Starr!

Starr needs to hold international clinics on how to match your illusion mesh to your skin

 

[SarahSynchro]

That's alright, that's okay, you're gonna pump our gas someday!

SPIRIT FINGERS!

For Starr, of course.

 

[labgoat]

Star has grown into a lovely young gal, still a bit sloppy. I'd like to see some of Andrea Gardiner's polish rub off on her. She needs to slow down and slink to this music a bit more.

It's the life we choose as figure skating fans

Seriously. She and her costume design team never get it wrong!

*has flashbacks to Adelina’s mismatched mesh and tights in Sochi, shudders*

 

[GGFan]

For someone so charismatic that felt very sleepy from Starr

 

[Princessroja]

Starr Andrews
pale pink dress
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's Summertime

3T-3T, very messy landing but no fall
spin
spin, very messy entrance
2A, very nice
3L, shaky
spin

StSeq somewhere in there

I can't help but feel Starr and her team haven't quite hit the sweet spot with her packaging yet, and the same with her movement quality. I think she wants to be something different, and she can be, but no one is quite sure how to get her there yet.

58.66, 8th. ouch :/

 

[rachno2]

That was a messy skate. And boring :/

I remember liking it at a comp earlier in the season. Autumn Classic?

 

[MsLayback]

That's alright, that's okay, you're gonna pump our gas someday!

I sizzle
I scorch
But now I pass the torch
The ballots are in
And one girl has to win
She’s perky
She’s fun
And now she’s number one
