2024 Four Continents Women's Short Program

[Lamente Ariane]

I like Sarah-Maude, and can’t put my finger on why, it’s almost like you can see the seeds of a Josefin Taljegard-type style in her future

A bit of Kaetlyn Osmond too imo, but very much her own skater. My current favorite Canadian woman’s skater.

Lovely st sq from Andrea.

 

[sworddance21]

Oh, Andrea Cantu is really lovely. How old is she? I really enjoyed that, despite the fall. That step sequence was wonderful.

 

[RafaelAstro]

I think 28 should be the minimum for qualification or as high as 30 but not more

I have this post bookmarked. It gives all the minimums and has links to tables showing TES achieved for each skater.

The fall :'(, other than that good job Andrea!!! Still a nice score really like this program for her, at least she is getting now all levels 4 and her presentation is increasing she needs to regain her jumps but she looks stronger than before

I don’t think Chris should have to commentate by himself. I’m sure one of us would have been willing to make the trip and offer him company and valuable insight

 

[yuumagical]

Ooh, lively style from Levkovets! Will have to keep an eye on her in the future.

I don’t think Simon should have to commentate by himself. I’m sure one of us would have been willing to make the trip and Lee him company and offer valuable insight

I nominate myself. I would do great color commentary.

I think for those who are complaining at the lack of crowds, you have to realize this is a LONG day of competition. Pairs is going to end at an ungodly hour tonight, so I'm not surprised that there are so few people at this early group.

Sofia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please be healthy, she's had so many problems this year with injuries and illness.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

They really fogged out the crowd there for those intros

There's a day at US nationals that starts at like 830 am and goes until 10 or 11 pm. If I managed to stay up and watch this, which isn't likely, I'd be going to sleep about 9 am tomorrow.

Last year in Colorado Springs we kept seeing Vasiliev and her coach walking by our hotel. Though she's tall, she looks really young without make-up.

 

[Seven Sisters]

I remember Joanna, and her prominent tattoos—not quite as visible in this costume—from last year.

Good luck, Sofia! She was there last year, too. Usually has such fun, youthful music and enthusiasm.

Jump-wise, that was one of Sofia's best skates of the season, but the loop and levels are really going to hurt her score

 

[moonvine]

She is so cute. Look at the fans.

 

[Seven Sisters]

See, even Chris thinks Sofia is fun to watch!

Decent start, but then seemed to run out of steam, and she seemed slower than usual
