2019 US Nationals Senior Ladies Free Skate

[BlackAxel]

Bradie's artistry has improved a lot in just the past year. Dare I say it but I am enjoying her performance.

 

[frida80]

Yeah. Alysa's going to win. No saving this.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Bradie needs 126.52 to overtake Hanna.

I have... opinions about this program, but I am living for Bradie's stare down of the judges

 

[Lissy]

It's crazy to think after Bradie's programs last year that she can do dramatic. Both of her programs this year are very different from last year and I love it. Now I want to see her do something super sassy as a gala piece.

 

[GGFan]

I do not enjoy this program as much as Bradie's short. For someone who is know for consistency she's definitely known for having at least one big mistake in the free. I'd like to see her work on that. Can we style her hair differently too?? Hoping for better at 4CC

 

[Colonel Green]

Yeah. Alysa's going to win. No saving this.

She has to actually land the triple Axels first.

 

[mirai4life]

70 TES? lol ok

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Yeah. Alysa's going to win. No saving this.

Quite the jinx!!

 

[bobbob]

Alysa will win the TES and more importantly, she will win the PCS tonight.

Other than the two jump errors, enjoyed that from Bradie (loved the twizzle after the 3F). She has made great strides as a performer this season.

 

[s_parks]

She should've changed her layout back to do just the 3lz-3t and left out the -lo combo entirely.

But +goe for not using kissing you in a R&J program (!!!)

 

[frida80]

She has to actually land the triple Axels first.

That's true.

 

[lizardlass]

I screamed when I fell, scared the crap out of my cat. She has such a lead from the sp.......we'll see.

 

[vesperalvioletta]

Alysa may eke in, but I have to say, her Witches of Eastwick program is going to look extremely juniorish next to Bradie's R&J, as quirky as it is. Nothing wrong with that, but I'll interested to see how the judges score it.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Come on Alysa, you can do it! Show us a clean skate

 

[melgirl25]

Of course Bradie is going to Worlds. What is Charlie WHite and that dude talking about.

Wow, good score.

 

[musicfan98]

I think the pressure of winning a back-to-back title got to her. Ironically, I am enjoying her skating more this year than last year. Last year, I thought her skating was very juvenile compared to this Nationals. I still feel like she can be too wooden and stiff but her technique is good. She'd benefit from ballet or dance to help her loosen up with her performance.

Bradie's tech was...well she wasn't perfect but of course she FOUGHT. I don't think she should be known as the consistency queen but she's someone who FIGHTS for everything and never gives up even if it isn't her day. Other skaters would have made so many more mistakes than she did after that lutz-loop combo and the fall. Even when she makes mistakes, you know she's thinking "this isn't happening again. I won't let it happen again."

Also, loving her programs this season. She really is becoming a performer of her own. I really do think she found her niche in terms of artistry.

Bradie 213+, 10pts above Hanna
