2021 U.S. Nationals: Senior Pairs - Short Program

[SnowWhite]

C/J had the fall, very out of sync on sbs spins. How is the gap so large between them and C-G/L?

Better twist, no mistake on the throw is probably part of it. PCS was a point and a bit higher for C/J, so the rest was technical.

Yes, it's very annoying.

Not til the replay will it let you.

I’d settle for more than one team getting to go to the Olympics honestly.

Yeah, I feel the same. I like our teams, but I don't think a podium finish is in the cards.

 

[LadyB]

it's late here, i'm calling it a night. see you tomorrow here for men short and tomorrow morning for Moscow Cup. love you all!

See you for pairs in Moscow. I‘m staying for Lu/Mitrofanov - it‘s a Rostelecom thing

How do you think these pairs especially the top 2 so far compare to the top Russian and Chinese pair teams. Do they have an outside chance of a medal at the Olympics?

Likely not. Unfortunately, they need to establish a reputation on the international scene, and the current COVID crisis makes that quite difficult for the coming season. However, they will be pivotal in the pairs portion in the team Olympic event to keep USA in contention for a medal.

Wait ... live scoring (element by element as program is in progress, I mean) is available on Fan Zone?

[ETA: Planned content is shown before the program starts, and then live scoring is added element by element.]​

Click on Live Scoring tab on horizontal menu at top of home page. (Maybe I am the last to know??)

I don’t mind no commentary but there should be an option imo

I watching the Peacock stream on my computer to AVOID the commentary. Will maybe switch for Dance to hear Tanith but I would rather listen to fingernails on a chalkboard than listen to Johnny and Tara on NBC

I like Ashley's more natural hair color better

I thought about signing up for YouTube TV to get NBCSN in order to rewatch with commentary. But OMG, they are charging $64.95 a month!!! Just two years ago, it was $34.99 a month, because I purchased it then to get extra Olympics coverage.

This OTT huge price makes it NOT worth it for me. When does the price gouging stop!!!. Already they want this for this streaming and that for another sport and Netflix and Disney and this and that and more and more. I do not have that kind of money.

And U.S. fed dumped IceNetwork and lied about us receiving comparable coverage. It's piecework and less and less and less than what we had previously for more and more money if you want quality coverage. You have to wade through crap to figure out how to see anything without paying an arm and a leg. The sport is not covered well at all in the first place. Horrid awful. I'm sick of it. You have to be an online sleuth and tech expert to figure anything out worth your time.

Thanks to those here who are tech savvy and share their knowledge.

Sure, but I like to hear something other than a dead stream. I'm sorry. Skate Canada does a way better job via Daily Motion.

It doesn't need to be Tara and Johnny anyway. I really like Tanith and Charlie White. They did an excellent job on NBC Gold last year calling pairs. But due to a snafu, we didn't get to hear them call the sp, which was asinine by NBC Gold. That problem was never fixed. We pay our money, we get poor service in return.

NBC Sports Gold had great commentary. No Johnny or Tara. Mostly Tanith, Charlie IIRC.

I was very unhappy with the price jump as well, but it’s half what I was paying for cable still.

I'm also planning to switch to Tanith for dance and looking forward to it.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I am curious about some of these costumes.

 

[LadyB]

Are you watching, Skate Canada? That‘s the way to stage Nationals! Where there‘s a will.... Kudos to the US fed!

 

[auser]

Anyone else annoyed that Peacock doesn't let you rewind?!!

I did not realize that(too busy stuffing food in my face so I could hear the music above my growling tummy). So I guess we have to wait until they archive the stream?

 

[moonvine]

Come on Olivia and Mervin.
