2021-2022 US Women's Figure Skating

Does anyone actually know what Bradie's injury is? I have seen a lot of speculation so keep wondering if I missed an actual verified report

This is an excellent question.

Things might even get worse as far as Skate America, as the Russians are having huge problems getting a VISA-the update today doesn't sound promising.

What update was this?

 

[Moxiejan]

Who are the healthy skaters that are scheduled scheduled to go to Skate America? If Bradie and Amber don't attend, can skaters like Mariah, Karen, or Lindsay be added? They are the next highest scores from Nationals.

Mariah & Karen can’t be added because they already have 2 spots in other GP events. Lindsay can’t be added because she already did a JGP this season.

I guess, besides Andrews, Izzo and maybe Rydberg, the choices really could include Gold.

I heard that it's the same back injuries (stress fractures, I believe?) from before.

I keep coming here hoping I will learn more about Bradie's injury.... very sad if true and I hope she recovers soon.

Thanks; I can't seem to find reports of merit

I am wondering the same.

Isabeau Levito and Kate Wang have been decided as the spots for the last JGP.

Cute, fluffy retrospective on Alysa on the Olympics website. Wish we got some new info though!

I can see Alysa is training with Lorenzo Magri in Italy again and added him to her coaching team. I don't know if this is news but it was news to me. I know she trained with him over the summer, too.

Lombardia is this weekend, so it makes sense that Alysa's in Italy now for the competition. She will most likely be there for the next few weeks since she's going to Nebelhorn too.

Alysa has a fluffy quality about her public aura haha. Or maybe I'm too biased bc her gestures/mannerisms resemble so much those of my little sister that is around her age (We have a gap of almost 20 years and I have learned to adore her silly jokes and cute expressions)

uhhhhhhh did anyone know Starr was working on a 3A?!

because I certainly didn't see it coming. this season is going to be so good wow

 

[mrrice]

It's bit two footed but, that's a really good attempt. Good for her.

 

[Gia_Sesshoumaru]

It's a bit underrotated, too, I think. Good for her, but I think consistency and confidence are more her problem, but it is what you need now to keep up with everyone else, it seems, so it's good still that she's trying to improve and get better.

It looks like on the edge of being <. That’s progress. Hopefully she’ll get the “snap” that she needs to get that last 1/2 turn soon.

I agree consistency should be the focus now. Clean programs delivered with confidence will go a long way with the judges.

Good for her to be trying it, but she's a bit like Amber Glenn (actually a lot like Amber Glenn) she has mediocre BOW with competitions, so for any shot at the Olympic team she's going to need to prove to be consistent on her other elements this season.

Yeah I feel like Starr's situation is very comparable to Amber's. Both have had only middling results and struggle with consistency. Having the 3A really helped Amber's reputation and position among the US women, so I'm optimistic as to what this might bring for Starr.

That looks more than a bit underrotated. Of course we don't have a great camera angle, but I'd say that would probably be marked a full downgrade.

Of course it's always a good thing to see an athlete push herself. So good for her.

yeah that looked 1/2 rotation short. IMO i wish Starr had changed coaches a long time ago, she seems to have maxed out her current potential with them quite a while ago. she's a skater that a triple axel won't help in the big picture, unless the rest of her skating improves. good for her for trying for one, it's a crazy hard jump. i just don't see the point.
