2019 US Nationals Senior Ladies Free Skate

[jillredhand]

Lovely skate from Mariah. I love her skating. Why, why, why with that fall ...

 

[vesperalvioletta]

How is Mariah doing? stream died

Sadly a fall, but everything else clean

 

[Jeanie19]

Mariah Bell. I love this program. She skated with such wonderful abandon.

 

[lizardlass]

Mariah fell once I tuned in. I am the bad juju. SORRY, MARIAAAH. Send Raf my way...

 

[vesperalvioletta]

Quoth Raf, "Why did you do that?"

 

[SarahSynchro]

Yeah, the sobbing was a bit much for me. I mean, she's not fighting for a worlds or olympic spot; she's 13, first senior nationals with nothing to lose- I guess I expected something more like just beaming and excitement. But maybe that's just the way she reacts, I guess.

As you said, she’s thirteen.

 

[magictodo]

Mariah third.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

And Alysa has officially done it. YES! :luv17:

I'm happy for her but the Olympics are a lot way away. Her career could go either way in the next few years.

 

[Lissy]

At least she is going to Worlds!

 

[cheerknithanson]

That stuffed bunny is so cute.

 

[Colonel Green]

Yep, five points between Mariah and Alysa. The Lutz (and minus the fall deduction) would have done it.

 

[Hyena]

If Mariah hadn't already won my heart with her performance, she would have won it with her miming in the kiss and cry

 

[bobbob]

Mariah would have won without the fall...

Alysa was not scored as generously as I expected.

Exactly what I mean... the sobbing felt a bit much since the occassion was big but not that big.

 

[rlopen]

Imagine if Mariah went clean...but she's going to Worlds!!! That's all that matters!

 

[Jeanie19]

This was a great ladies competition. The future looks bright.

 

[DonnaR]

I love watching Mariah - such a shame about the fall, but what a great skate!

Eriely similar to Ashley in 2017...

I really liked Mariah's performance. If she hadn't fallen, she probably would have beaten Alysa. Bronze is still great.
