2021 Skate America: Women's Short Program

[anonymoose_au]

Y'know judges should consider that over/under scoring doesn't just make them look bad it can cause the skater in question all sorts of woe. Like, how much hate does Nathan get for his PCS? I feel like there'd be way less hate directed at him if the judges would simmer done.

Same for Sasha!

I did not understand this program at all. The dress looks cool though.

 

[4everchan]

oh oh.. i ruined it : folks no longer happy with judging ... sorry...

 

[LiamV426]

Can y'all stop the Queen comparisons all of our girls suffer from that from just our media alone goddmanit

 

[skycastles]

Not the biggest fan of this program, but I'm sure with something else I'd like Ekatrina more, she's very enthusiastic

 

[Vemvane]

This is such a different sort of SP from everything that has come before. The music and choreography are just weird, in the sense of being unsettling, and the dress doesn't match the sense I get from the music, but Katia seems to enjoy skating to it, and it is refreshing to watch something so different. She makes really good use of her upper body, I think, and gets into the performance. The jumps weren't quite there today, though, alas.

Wow the dress!
Land that 3A!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Behind STARR?!

 

[EdgeCall]

I don’t understand that dress.

The dress looks beautiful, but I don't get it together with the music either.

 

[Kathy1]

you finished all your merlot?

No, but the cabernet matches with tonight's dinner and I also felt it would put me in the mood for Kurakova, since I don't have anything stronger than wine in my home.

Why try the 3A?!

 

[Dawn825]

Candles for Young 3A!

Aaaand I set myself on fire instead

 

[anonymoose_au]

Speaking Ekaterina's dress didn't she have it last season when she did have a Samba program? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Shame about about the 3A, but Young's skating is lovely!

 

[readernick]

Behind STARR?!

Literally ever jump was underrotated. The TES is correct. If Satoko's not getting the best PCS of the night, we know the PCS is not going to be correct.

 

[Jontor]

Well done Young! No 3A today but at least she went for it!

 

[4everchan]

i agree with Mark here : keep trying the 3a... you will land it eventually...

 

[yume]

This should be at least 72.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh dearie, the 3A didn't work out this time, but you'll get it in due time
