Congratulations to Alysa on winning lombardia trophy. How did she do a Cranberry Cup?I just have to get this off my chest once and then I'll go back to simply uplifting our girl:
I find it hilarious how every! single! time! Alysa does well at a competition, all these keyboard warriors come crawling out of the woodwork to insist that she has no shot at medalling at any of her GP events (let alone the Olympics!), she's way behind the Russians/Japanese/Koreans/all of the above in every aspect of skating, she poses no threat to [insert their fave(s)], etc etc etc
Why are they so pressed if they really think she's not a threat? If it's so obvious that she doesn't have any chance of medalling even at the GPs, why bother going to the effort of constantly (obsessively!) anonymously denigrating her on the internet? Truly fan behavior
I'm very glad Alysa looks to be heading into top form in her debut senior season. She also put puberty behind her faster than any skater I've ever seen. Big things could be on the horizon for her.
You can't worry about the keyboard warriors.
I don't know if she can score high enough to be a contender with the top 3 Russian ladies. But if she can score 220 points she will be in contention to medal at GP events and be right there with the top Japanese and Korean ladies.
I sure hope coronavirus gives us a break to break and we get to have a full season for all levels of figure skating.
