2025 U S.Nationals Senior Women's Free Skate

[GGFan]

Mia looks more polished than last year. The jumps weren't always successful but I appreciate her going for ambitious content.

I have a controversial opinion about Mia. I like that she has new coaches and is working on her SS. But, I actually think she should still do her 4T. Her toes are so just much better than her flips and lutzes. If she did a 4T, she could do one less flip or lutz. Her 4T was her best jump. Forcing her to do more flips and lutzes isn't helping her IMHO.

I think she needs to adjust to her new coaches and training environment and not worrying about competing the quad lessens the load on her.

I don’t even recognize Kalin, in more ways than one. She still has a lot of work to do, but this is a step in the right direction.

Mia. Beautiful dress. Lovely program and a good skate. She has so improved.

 

[nickp91]

A pretty good skate for Mia!

 

[Jammers]

Mia looks like a complete skater now.

Yes, but I honestly think lutzes and flips are harder for her than the 4T which is why I don't like this jump content.

Ah yes, my favorite work of Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella

 

[CellarDweller]

Is it me, or did Mia seem to be skating really slowly?

and when I heard the music, specifically at the end, I could only think of Sasha Cohen, and not sure if that's who you'd want people to have on their minds when you skate.

Can someone PLEASE teach these kids to hold the last moment.So many of them hit the last pose and just drop it. Create the moment and give is a beat before you let it go. It really, really annoys me as a choreographer and director.

Mia's taking it well. She knows what she has to do.

 

[GGFan]

Not the best night of skating thus far but nice to see Starr move up the standings.

 

[Weathergal]

Sonja will make top ten!

 

[yelyoh]

Ok here we go. A World's trip is on the line.

Mia has always lacked speed. It is, in fact, a common problem with a lot of US juniors. (not Sherry, though) Alysa had (has) this problem, too. Mia's coaching team helped Alysa a lot with edges but not so much with improving speed. That will take time.

Couple of rough skates for the ladies but I'm so happy to see Starr still in first! Good luck to the final group

Sonja and Starr are the highlights for me up to this point.

 

[Rebecca Moose]

Let's hope the final group is more successful than the first two.

 

[moonvine]

Will Sonja make top 10? I looked away when they showed the standings.
