2019-20 U.S. Ladies Figure Skating

Ugh! If we’re all thinking about this, what must Gabriella and her team be thinking?!? This is tough. I wonder what she’ll do. Only 6 days to find out.

I saw a video on MJM skating or somewhere and Gabriella was performing a 1W1Lo3T combination like evgenia used to do. So I think she is definitely working on the 3T combo
 
I saw Isabelle skate at the Philadelphia comps this summer.

I do not know if Isabelle has the "difficult jumps" as I do not follow junior ladies, so I don't know to what to compare her jumps. In addition, jumps qua jumps are less important to me. I remember being favorably impressed with her performance chops.

I remember being most impressed that, for reasons known only to her and her team, she skated her long *twice* in one day. She won the Junior International, with, as I recall, a clean long program and crispness to her skating. She then skated the "club" junior competition about six (?) hours later. We all stared, didn't we just see her skate? Poor girl fell on half her jumps. Understandably.

Someday someone will explain that to me:confused:
 
Do we know what she's getting for GOE on her quad? I still don't know the point variation between a quad with a UR and a clean triple. Isn't it worth it for her to go for the quad and take the UR point wise?

Alysa earned full credit for her quad Lutz .... 11.50. In addition, she earned 2.30 GOE, for a total of 13.80 points. For that element, she got 3s from 2 judges, 2s from 5 judges, and ones from 2 judges.

Some people are just indulging themselves by disagreeing loudly with the panel of judges.
 
Isabelle's Short consists of a 2A, 3F+3T, and 3Lo. Her Long consists of the same 3-3, a 2A, and five other triples. Isabelle started training the 4T and landed one that was two-footed and under-rotated. She's been showing off a 3Lz+3T, but I don't think they'll put it in her program. However, she has competed with a 3Lz+Eu+3S before. Hopefully, we'll see some growth, maturity, and two beautiful AND clean programs.

Gabby has been quite quiet on her social media and only posts when it concerns worldwide matters such as the Amazon rainforest being in flames. Last season, she earned a season's best of 180+ at the Egna Spring Trophy. At a Lake Placid competition this year, she earned 169, but with a few mistakes in the Short and Long.

Best of luck to both our ladies.

Also, people at the rink today saw Ting working with her choreographer and say that her new Free is AMAZING. We last saw her perform her new Free at a local exhibition event. Also, they said that her jumps are looking great after injuring herself practicing a 3A a few months ago. Cannot wait to see her soon.

Tell us more Ting news! I never need an excuse to talk about her. Honestly, so excited to her debut her new program. Hope she gets a great costume...
 
Hanna Harrell and Audrey Shin have been assigned to the last Junior Grand Prix event in Egna. They will be competing against Yeonjeong, silver medalist at Lake Placid and Kanysheva and Sinitsyna.

Also, best of luck to both Gabby and Isabelle as they compete in Latvia.

I am glad that Hanna is getting a 2nd JGP despite her poor showing at her first. She earned it with her Nationals performance, IMO.

Conversely, I expect Audrey's 2nd JGP event to go to someone else if she has a poor showing at her first event. We'll see. I'm just not a fan, and she's received many opportunities and has never really risen to to the challenge, IMO. I'm more interested in some of the younger girls coming up who I haven't seen compete yet.

Sinitsyna cannot do Russia, Poland, and Italy. We'll have to wait & see where Russia decides to confirm her & who else they decide to send out. They will know more about what their other ladies can score after the next two events.

Only Hanna's spot is listed on the USFS page, so Audrey's is clearly just a place holder for now.
 
Ted Barton interviewed Milly Murdock in Lake Placid:

Congratulations to Alysa for winning and to Milly and Jessica for representing the U.S. well.

Good luck to Gabbie and Isabelle this week in Latvia.

Audrey just won Senior Ladies at Golden West with a score of approx. 180.

Hope that her JGP season will go well. :yay:

ETA (on Sep 8):

Audrey's scores at Golden West:

59.82 SP

120.40 FS

180.22 Combined
 
I have Audrey’s Long performance from Golden West and will try to upload it on Twitter. Clean Free in terms of landed jumps, but I haven’t had time to check for under-rotations.
 
in my view liu is a very talented girl. she seems to have a really competitive charakter. she clearly enjoys skating. she got some performance skills. very nice spins. but her jumps are just satoko 2.0, small excessively prerotated and almost always UR (but well hidden). none of them should get positive goe IMO

I think her jumps through the lutz look solid and rotated enough, at least on the landings (which is all the judges care about). The axel is usually pretty good, too. She is skating on the junior circuit, so her jumps aren't going to look that small compared to her peers there.
 

Thanks for sharing. She is a lovely skater but why the different versions of miss Saigon? I don’t know the first part but the second is definitely the Bournemouth Symphony version that Mirai used. I also love that she used “the sacred bird” cut from musical. I wish Mirai had used it...From what I can see (an untrained eye indeed):
3Lz<+3t, 2A+3t<, 3s(? - I’d give to her), 3F, 3Lz<, 3L+2T+2L, 2A

I believe she received 180.22 total points at this competiton. From my eye, some elements look a little under rotated.The music fits her very well but I don't agree with the scoring too much
