2019 US Nationals Pairs Free Skate

[moses]

I don't remember the last time I was this nervous watching pair skating.

How many times do you think they will mention that Deanna is 35? SO OLD.

 

[Nathan13]

Whatever happened to Pfund/Santillan? Did they withdraw or are they no longer competing together?

I want Deanna to win just to stick it to them for that.

They withdrew.

I want Ashley and Tim to skate well. That is all I am asking for.

Let the madness begin.

 

[Lissy]

I'm ready for this! I want great and clean programs from everyone!

None of that helped but the cracks were starting to show before this season. Worlds last year was a disaster and from what I hear, their training situation wasn't ideal even when they were with Delilah. I don't want to get too into it but their problems extend farther than this one season.

Ah, that's true. I'd forgotten about Worlds. Well, they seem like they're being supportive of each other and determined to go up from here so hopefully they can get things sorted in the (now very long) off season.

Technically all these teams are pretty equal. I think its going to come down to the mental game.

Scariest pair I ever saw live was Bereznaya Shliakov at Skate America. How he launched her into the air was frightening yet she got up calm every time.

I’m getting ill.

Look at it this way- if you're going to have a bum season, post-Oly is when to do it. Chris will get his surgery and then they have 3 years to build their comeback

 

[ruffledgrouse]

They withdrew.

Did they ever give a reason? I hope they're ok

 

[Colonel Green]

His and hers mistakes on the SBS jumps, but I really like the program, and a strong finish.

 

[DanseMacabre]

Yikes, looks like Haven's dress came undone. That had to be distracting.

 

[SnowWhite]

Great lift.

 

[Nathan13]

Haven and Brandon have their jump issues, but their lifts are always magnificent

 

[Lissy]

I didn't really like the program (the music was too sleepy for them) but I really like them! Nice to see them skate well after so many issues with injuries. I also love her dress and I liked the use of the brown.

 

[cheerknithanson]

This is a great event overall.

Injury. They posted one of those dramatic pre-nationals posts on their site: http://www.joshica.net/blog/uncategorized/2019-season-recap/
