Oh honey, just change your name to Kettle Black.

He made a jab about Max's choreography? Seriously? It's a JUMP contest. What did anyone's choreography have to do with anything?

Agreed!

Jaana said:
My guess is that Ryan was just joking.

Max did a 4S+2T then went into clearly some transitional choreography before his next quad during the bonus round. Ryan joked about not being sure he was supposed to do a 2T (probably should not get points, but there is no don't show off rule) up till now it was fine, then when Max started doing his set up Ryan said "And now he is doing choreography, something we don't always see from Max during his long program" which even if a joke, seems rather cruel and unneeded.

Max was hardly the first guy to do something like this at the event... i mean having a jump have an entrance other than generating power crossovers seems to be just an odd concept to Ryan.

I frankly liked Max adding something in between the jumps, it made sense, it made them flow together, it likely gave him more practice... i did not care for the snide remark about his lack of choreography... again.

Lots of guys were being goofy and yes Ryan was remarking in a somewhat silly stream of conscience manner... but he managed to not insult the other skaters.

Paige Rydberg just finished. Music is "Evita." Two pops, otherwise clean. I didn't hear her name being called thought she was Ashley Cain and was confused as to why she had kept the program for three years! :laugh:

Wrong place, a possible lack of choreography should be mentioned during a LP (where ever it is being skated).

The current skater, whose name I missed, did a gorgeous 3Lz-3T. Anyone know who it might be? She doesn't look at all familiar, so I have no clue.

Edit: Tessa Hong! Smacking myself for not recognizing her. Three pops.

But she did two great 3-3s! She should medal. She's definitely going on my "ones to watch" list :coffee:

Layback11 · Jun 25, 2016

Ashley Cain just went. New FS to...Carmen, what else. :laugh:

Kind of a rough skate-a pop and a bunch of forward landings/hands down. 84.22, 144.39 total.

Tessa got 102/166.

StitchMonkey · Jun 25, 2016

and once again my reaction to Emily is "Wow i really like the back of her dress!" I think she and her mother design them... I really like the style they have chosen.

Layback11 · Jun 25, 2016

Emily Chan bombed, but her new "Bohemian Rhapsody" FS is absolutely sublime. She reminds me SO much of Sasha Cohen, what with her artistry and flexibility and inconsistency, and how she's always impeccably dressed. :agree:

StitchMonkey · Jun 25, 2016

anyone know what Mirah's music was... my phone seems to think it is The Carnival of the Animals - XIV. Finale but I am not so sure.

Layback11 · Jun 25, 2016

Mariah Bell's "East of Eden" FS is lovely! A few stepouts and a pop, but otherwise cleaner than everyone so far. This music really suits her joyful ice presence. :yes:

Pretty sure only Amber is left to go.

Edit: nope, Avery Kurtz, who's bombing spectacularly. :sad21:

Layback11 · Jun 25, 2016

Popped jumps are a chronic illness at this event. :gaah:

Also, Amber just quite literally face planted on her footwork. Ouch! In my experience, those are the worst falls. :eek:

apgold · Jun 25, 2016

Just caught Amber, that fall was rough. I do wish she chose something other than "Rhapsody in Blue" (in a blue dress). Her skating looked heavy to me and that is a light joyful piece. I hope she bounces back and and the program improves. I think she is coming back from health issues/injury so I'll give her a break.

So who won? Tessa?

I think so. AFAIK, Mariah was second.

Good for Tomoki in adding the quad toe!

Saw her in practice on Monday and she looked fantastic. Landed her 3Lz3t cleanly several times and has nice presence on the ice. I agree, she is one to watch.

I saw Holly Harris from AUS was at this competition as she trains at the rink . It was posted she was winning - Does anyone have overall results ? Did Brendan Kerry end up skating

I think she won her qualifying round not the competition.

Aleksei beats Tomoki not only on the TES but also PCS? Hmmm... wonder what the judges are smoking.

I don't think Brendan has ever done the Broadmoor Open as a competition and the Aerial Challenge was this year open only to US skaters - or rather, this year it was actually advertised as such from the start.

Holly Harris's FS: https://youtu.be/a6H9N4HQI-Y

Clean skate with four triples - she looks very promising!

just wondering said:
Purely supposition and slightly OT, but I'm wondering if Vivian Le is the Dallas skater who was rumored to have moved to Raf. \

Well spotted. Vivian is signed up under Rafael for Glacier Falls.
