The first two jumping passes were so strong, but it got a little squirrelly after that. She rotated everything, just some small quality issues, and hopefully this will help to erase the memories from Canadians.
Are you trying to erase my memory ?
Oh.. i see what you meant ;) Nationals ;) okay :) haha
 
some little mistakes but maddie fought hard for everything. still a very nice performance and so much better than nats!! <3
anyways. i'm tapping out early. Good luck to the final group but i gotta get up early tomorrow and i'm about to pass out lol. yall have a wonderful rest of your night/morning/afternoon!
 
madeline is doing her best with a grimace on her face, but she's landing things which is what matters
The grimace is a turn off for me. There was criticism of last year’s free, and although I didn’t think “I Feel Pretty” was appropriate for an adult, the orchestration was beautiful. Unfortunately, she scowled through it and ignored the expression and choreography, then would scowl as she bowed, and then scowl in Kiss and Cry. I found it hugely disrespectful of the choreography and unprofessional. She also did the same at Stars on Ice when missing her group steps. This year, she has a short where she can scowl and open her mouth and it’s interpreted for intensity. It doesn’t work for her free.

Twilight Medley

FS: 98.52 (6th)
TOT: 162.63 (6th)

This was going to be a tough skate for Lindsay regardless as she returns from injury, but the proximity to US Nats paired with limited training time has to be just brutal. I feel so bad, this is not a reflection of her talent and quality when healthy and well-rested, and I am in awe of her strength to improvise a 3+3 combo at the end of the prgoram.
