2016 US Nationals Senior Pairs FS

[tulosai]

I just realized that Danny is pretty hunky

Isn't he??? I love their honesty too... they seem like good people.

PTSD from last season when we had three men at worlds skate to it back to back.

Oh xD

I don't remember that. /horrible memory

 

[semosk8tfan]

So Jim Peterson has 3 national champs: novice, jr, and sr

 

[louisa05]

i don't care how good they did...i can't be happy about POTO programs winning gold. I don't like seeing such poor choices being rewarded.

Better POTO than a Journey medley. What are they going to follow that choice up with? A Foreigner medley?

Please God save us.

Reminds me of Zhang/Bartholomay in 2014 getting their silver.

Oh yes, where r those two?

 

[Art&Sport]

Yeah! Go Tarah and Danny! I was clapping at every sbs perfection and jumping up and down in front of the tv after that last throw triple, heart in mouth for these determined skaters who calmly went through every thing and lived up to their dreams!

 

[cathlen]

I'm not a fan of this particular piece of music, but Kayne/O'Shea performance was amazing! Their win over Scimeca/Knierim was obvious

Jim Peterson has a way of getting his teams solid right before Nationals. It's impressive.

 

[tulosai]

Oh yes, where r those two?

She is retired from skating. She goes to college and does some light coaching.

He is paired with Gretchen Donlan. Injury prevented them from being here.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Wow, they're actually showing Carly's short... and chacking the ice dancers, it looks like.

At least the Journey medley is new.... and I actually like it.

 

[semosk8tfan]

I agree we saw too many POTO programs last year but at least they only use one song and have Barbra. I love their free skate

Dance doesn't start for ~20 minutes according to the times on IceNetwork.

 

[Mrs. P]

It is extremely heartwarming to see how happy they are. Well deserved win.

Yes! They had me tearing up!

Indeed! This team has been building all season long. They had a bad SA, but then bounced back at the Rostelecom FS. Let's hope there's something left for the big comps!

Phew. Thanks, I just have trust issues

Probably cleaning the ice right now for the dancers.

 

[Chemistry66]

Phew. Thanks, I just have trust issues

They're probably justified, lol. But for now, let's hope.

Thanks! Sad to hear, she was still so young!

 

[ice coverage]

... She goes to college and does some light coaching. ...

Felicia's role as a coach is "heavy" enough that she has been in the Kiss and Cry at Nats this year , as mentioned in several tweets ... and as shown in at least one photo .

(I don't recall hearing that she attended last year's Nats.)

I guess I should clarify what I specifically meant to imply: she is no one's primary coach (that I know of) and her primary job is that of college student. She may be heavily involved in coaching teams of some skaters but to my knowledge this is something she is currently doing part time and she is not the head of any coaching team. I did not mean to minimize her role or impact though and I apologize if I did so.
