2025 U S.Nationals Senior Women's Free Skate

There are some stunning dresses in this group - Sonja looks utterly amazing, I love the deep black of Joey's, the back of Lindsay's dress is incredible, and I am obsessed with how Elyce's skirt moves.

Is there a reason this song is so popular at sporting events(other than that it is likeable )? I heard the audience at the Australian Open tennis championships spiritedly singing along recently so apparently it is popular internationally.

I can't explain why it's so popular everywhere else in the world.

I'm a Red Sox fan, so it's just an accepted part of my life, lol

Starr did 2 3Fs. I can't believe it.

My thoughts

• Hoping Starr has a good day
• Looking forward to seeing Sonja's magic
• Hoping Josephine feels well enough to skate happy
• Rooting for Lindsay to have a positive experience today
• I really want to see Elyce find her smile - her face game needs wok. Get out of your head girl!
• Mia show us your new style

Starr wasn't feeling well the other day, I hope she's better.

Starr always looks so stunning on the ice. Sometimes, she doesn't have energy toward the end of her skate (makes sense with her heart condition) but this was lovely. Perfect tempo throughout. I enjoyed this performance. It wasn't perfect but it was beautiful.

 

[GGFan]

Despite the fall this was a good jumping day for Starr. I don't love this music but I appreciate that she's going for two flips and two loops now. I so want her to put it together one year so she can go to Worlds.

Yes, I also heard it recently internationally and was surprised. I can't remember where. And I don't know the reason...

Starr. Beautiful dress. Great program and a good skate.

Best for quite awhile!

One fall for Starr, but she was great otherwise. I consider this a redemption skate after the short.

 

[yelyoh]

Yeah this was good from Starr. I thought it all looked very much in her wheelhouse. Very watchable. She can be so lovely.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Ashley's right that it was a good idea for Starr to not add the combo onto the last 3S - the only combo she could have done was a +3T or a +2Lo, as she'd already done her three-jump, axel combo, and had two +2T so a third would have been invalidated. Overall, that was by far the best free I've seen from Starr in years - she just looked so confident throughout the whole program.

Good for Starr- a lot better than yesterday

 

[jgg220]

If I took a drink every time Ashley said "planned triple triple," I would have died triple triple times by now.

 

[readernick]

Sonja's choreo never disappoints. Her transistions in and out of her 2A are stunning and her 3S2S. The spins are so unique and beautiful. I just want Sonja and Yuna Aoki to form a choreo team ... can you imagine the wonders they could produce together?

 

[GGFan]

Sonja is always such a nice palate cleanser because she's unique. There are so many cool little moments. I so love when she jumps in both directions.

 

[Princessroja]

I didn't even know you could do a combination that combines different directions! How cool.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

So many cool moments from Sonja in this program! I loved that whole choreo sequence - both sides of the audience got to enjoy her besti squat - a great change of direction in a spin, an amazing 3S+2S combo, an incredibly difficult spin feature where she goes onto her toepick, and a really amazing step sequence! She is just so unique and engaging, regardless of how the jumps go.
