2019 US Nationals Senior Ladies Free Skate

Hope Courtney can pull up several spots here!

Why is NBC showing replays if there is skating going on right now :roll5:

 

[sabinfire]

Sigh, another tough Nats for Courtney Hicks.

Courtney

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Can I still pick Hanna Harrell as a dark horse to sneak onto the podium?

If only it were just replayed short programs, now we get the repeated Bradie fluff piece.

Courtney is just never going to happen at Nats is she? *sigh* Shame really...because when she DOES do well she actually can challenge and be a decent international skater but because she never does well enough at domestic competition she can never really get an international career.

Courtney Hicks

Great colors for her, her costumer does it again

Nice opening choreo
fall on first jump combo
lands next (double?)
lovely donut spin
Steps. Rohene's done a great job with her, she's no longer just a jumper in my mind
Turns out, but saves next combo
pop
Lovely spin
Jump (landed!)
...pop
Nice 2A!
Spiral sequence
lunge slide into signature combo spin- oh no! she lost it at the end!

...Courney's national curse strikes again :sad4:

 

[jillredhand]

Oof, Courtney. I've liked all her programs that I've seen, and I'm mad impressed by that 3F-3Lo, but that was just rough all around.

 

[Jeanie19]

:sad4: I'm so sad for Courtney. I hoped for top 5 for her.

I always found that so rude.

 

[musicfan98]

Aside from the mistakes, the performance didn't have much energy.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

92... ouch

I know right but why did I it tug on my heart this time? I swear it was that jalapeño on my pizza that made my eyes water up

 

[sabinfire]

Are they doing a resurface after Sierra or wait until after next group?

 

[bigsisjiejie]

No unkindness meant, but I think the window of opportunity for Courtney Hicks is pretty much closing. IIRC, she's had different coaches and none have been able to get her technique more reliable.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Sierra Venetta

Did the choreo her self
2A
layback, nice
3 jump combo, landed
3L,2A combo (2foot)
combo spin
Step
Doubled jump
Jump
jump
spiral sequence (so glad these are a thing again)
2 jump combo
combo spin (reminds me of Brooklee Han)

Way better than I was expecting from her! That goes for the choreo, too, which I was worried about when I heard she did it herself. And a gorgeous dress

Good job, kid!

 

[Ziotic]

How can anyone pay for NBC Gold. The video quality is so bad and the stream cuts out all the time.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

First time seeing Sierra Venetta. Me likey! Even without the biggest technical arsenal, she is graceful and a joyful presence on the ice.

 

[sabinfire]

Charlie said "15 minute ice break", so we'll hold him to that.
