2024 U.S.Nationals Practice Reports

[labgoat]

I like the dress Carreira has on - flesh tone and grey trim with her hair down. They look very solid and ready. Anthony in basic black looks very relaxed and steady. They have such an elegant smooth look out there. Flores & Desyatov have the most energy and are using their time well, aggressively practicing everything . They skate smaller than CarPom but have a strong presence.

Hi, can anyone there tell me how the Browns' looked at practice please? They mentioned in their IG acct that they finished practice.

They looked fine, a bit slower maybe. Oona seemed to need more warm-up time today. They were hitting long edges by the end of their practice and seemed pleased. They spent a lot of time on the combo spin.

thanks! @labgoat

Rafaella & Alexey skated to Annie Lennox and the music seemed too fast for them at times making their elements seem smaller and edges shallower. They still have a strong presence out there.

Cara & Joshua had a charming start to Whitney Houston I wanna Dance with Somebody until he hit a toe pick and took a hard tumble out of a twizzle.

Is black attire required for Women's practice?

 

[Seven Sisters]

Have tuned in to pairs practice to try to get some clues for the prediction game I’ve been especially curious about McBeath/Parkman and Efimova/Mitrofanov.

So far McB/Parkman don’t look to be setting the world on fire, several mistakes that could be timing-related

 

[moonvine]

They should make that clear from the beginning.

It's USFS. They often don't make things clear from the ending. Let alone from the beginning.

Chan & Howe fake us out by not doing any jumps, throws, or lifts of any kind. Also, the Elvis program does not seem especially Elvis-y; they use the same cover of Fever that Smart/Dieck do

Emily & Spencer did one or two lifts toward the end of the session .. very nice. He rotated the shoulder a few times.. ? Is that where he had injury/surgery.. they look good. Chelsea & Nagy have one or two spectacular lifts one with an unusual entrance and their twist is to die for but she fell on the SBS..looking forward to this group later

 

[Moxiejan]

Kam & O’Shea looked good.

I think it is from Baz Luhrmann's 2022 Elvis film:

Practice at the Ice Haus is open and free to the public. But practice at the main arena is not. I asked at the USFS desk today.

Thanks! Good to hear on Ice Haus. Regarding the practices in the main arena, there's no way to access them, regardless of which tickets you have?

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

So is practice at the Ice Haus more random or unofficial and not covered by Practice Cam?

Carriers & Ponomarenko and Flores & Desyatov worked very hard during practice showing why the are such good teams. Raffaela & Alexey also took full advantage of the practice.

in the other group Zingas & Kolesnik came out racing. Green & Parsons look faster and very, very clean.

Taking a quick peak at ice dance practice in between junior men.

Yay, real costumes for Oona and Gage that are not left over from last year! Cute, too. They look good (on the ice too)

Next dance group
Chock & Bates are flying and ready to skate now as are Bratti & Somerville. Wolfkostin & Partner are steady and clean except for twizzle by her done in traffic durIng runthrough. They seem a bit slower and project less than the others but are very clean. Bratti & Somerville project well with speed. The Browns look sharp, especially Oona. Chock & Bates decent runthrough twizzle pattern a bit cramped. They fixed later in runthrough. Pate & Bye look very fast also.
