2026 U.S.Nationals Senior Women Short Program

[SmileHappy34]

Watch Erica machinations reminded me and little of Miki Ando.
As stated Emilia of Loena . A few other skaters reminded me of skaters from other countries

I missed this and I’m sitting here.

I thought that who he might be

Very interesting that NBC pictures the Shibutanis as ice dance contenders for the Olympic team, but not Zingas/Kolesnik. IMO, the Shibutanis should be more of an outside shot than Green/Parsons are.

Ice Dance heirarchy right now:
1. Chock/Bates
2. Zingas/Kolesnik
3. Carreira/Ponomarenko
4. Green/Parsons
5. Shibutanis

The Browns and Bratti/Somerville also have better material than the Shibutanis, but they have been so inconsistent.

Don't @ me, but I'm not feeling Alyssa's hair. /sartorial

I’m sitTing next to people with heated jackets and am jealous.

I thought I might see some women’s skating, what the heck.

I see Amber with a Barbie doing a 3A. I like fluff, like up close and personal fluff.

But this…. Going to rewind to watch Starr

I think it must be freshly done, maybe once it fades a bit and is more subtle it will look better

I seriously don’t know how this group will be scored. Will Bradie and Sarah be scored above 70 for cleannskates? . I’m on pins and needles but I hope Rinky is gone for good.

I hear you - I have zoned in and out a bit. I am here for the skating not the fluff

US media is so funny calling Alysa Liu “the favorite” for Olympic gold. Haha, A favorite, yes, but what we must remember is that Alysa has never beaten a clean Kaori or a clean Amber for that matter.

Depends on how clean they are and how much they sell it.
Clean Sarah > Bradie
Selling Bradie > Sarah
Determination Bradie = Sarah (both will fight to the bitter end)

She probably smartly uses a professional colorist, but as someone who frugally highlights their own hair, I usually like mine better after the color settles for a few weeks.

I need to do mine...

For tonight, I am rooting for Amber.

And Bradie because I suspect this is her last season.

I like all three skaters. But clean is the challenge for all, yes?

Bradie's SP is so poignant. I remember when Mirai skated to the same music. Bradie's version hits me harder. Her blue dress reminds me she debuted at the Olympics as Cinderella in a blue dress,

I really like Bradie, but I don't think that blue dress is very flattering on her.

The continuous playing of Rocky, The Final Countdown is like hitting everyone over the head again and again with the significance of this event
