2019 US Nationals Senior Rhythm Dance

[labgoat]

I love fierce Madi.

 

[SnowWhite]

That was cute. "I was like, I don't care how much you're dying inside, you better look like Scott Moir."

 

[jillredhand]

Go Chock/Bates! Missed them on the GP, hope they're here to take no prisoners.

 

[Princessroja]

I think that was the first time I've really appreciated C/B. That was a fantastic performance.

 

[SnowWhite]

Stream keeps skipping and replaying the same bit for me.

 

[Metis]

Honestly, I hope a lot of these teams have a backup plan called Representing Other Countries, because most of them are unlikely to get out of the US.

 

[Hyena]

That is a GOOD tango from Chock/Bates. Her dress is incredible, too.

 

[SnowWhite]

I parts I saw looked strong.

 

[yelyoh]

Well C & B were awesome.

 

[labgoat]

Very strong outing for Chock & Bates. Crisp pattern, nice interaction and interesting choreo.

 

[jillredhand]

That was a smoke show. Wow! Okay, yes, I'm firmly on board with C/B overtaking H/D. I MUCH preferred that RD to H/D's, which makes zero impression on my memory despite that I watched them every competition they were at in the fall.

 

[Lyssa]

me too, I prefer C / B to H / D

 

[ruffledgrouse]

YAY KARINA AND JOE!!!!

 

[jillredhand]

Go Karina and Joe! Liked them a lot at Skate America.

 

[Roo87]

H/D do nothing for me. Really enjoyed C/B.

 

[SnowWhite]

Considering H/D have gotten 80.53 internationally this season, the Nationals inflation will likely put them into 1st as long as they skate comparably to the GPF.

 

[labgoat]

What's with the grey hair? Nice look to this couple. Is it me or does Karina seem better than her partner?

 

[cheerknithanson]

Parsons/Parsons next. So nervous.

 

[Metis]

I prefer H/D. More fluidity, more power, more control in their skating. Their programmes this year aren’t their strongest, but I also detect a bit of “underdog turned overdog” backlash (not saying it’s the case here, just a general trend I’ve noticed).

What's with the grey hair? Nice look to this couple. Is it me or does Karina seem better than her partner?

To me it's the opposite. I think Karina would benefit from some off-ice dance training. Her extensions could be a lot better.
