2026 U.S. Nationals Senior Pairs Free Skate

[celiabiche]

They did first groups of Pairs and Women this afternoon; the rest of both are tonight. I don't think this is good to do it this way, but of course, no one asked me

Is the women’s final group tonight or tomorrow? There’s a tile on peacock for pairs and women’s tonight and another tile for women’s and dance tomorrow night. I was under the impression that groups2 and 3 were going to skate tonight

They are taking so long, I may not stay to see how it turns out. I just came from Canadian Nationals where everything runs promptly like clockwork.

How’s Keegan

I chose Peacocks Pairs Free Skate stream and Ben and Ashley said warmups are starting.

Has there been a big injury? I have watched two groups Canadian men, and this US pairs free is still on the same ice resurfacing break as before...?

pairs skaters are taking the ice now.

Women’s final is tonight. I’m in the arena.

For context on scores, Chan/Howe currently have a 186, which is not far from the score Kam/O’Shea had last year at Nationals to win bronze, 189. I guess that’s why I’ve heard Adam and Ashley state that Emily and Spencer are not out of this yet.

whew. I'm so glad she doesn't have pneumonia and has had more than one chest x-ray to be sure.

Good luck Chelsea - been there. I know how frustrated and how poorly you feel at times.
You will be healthy again - it will take time.

Bless, Ben still saying Chelsea has pneumonia even though her public statement clarified that is not the case.

If I hear Ashley say one more time that a movie is "crucial" I may have to throw something at the TV.

Ben may have not have seen her post - he is working after all.

Can we replace Ashley with Gracie? Ashley is just annoying me.

 

[labgoat]

Chelsea now that we can bond over respiratory problems - you have me in your corner. You two still did really well and I look forward to your continued growth as a team. I hope you get a spot to compete.

Chelsea/Ryan. I love her dress. Nice program. Good skate.

I know they're not impressive for seniors, but I LOVED the single axels. They look so graceful compared to double and triples

Apparently Ashley hasn't seen the post either.
