2018-19 U.S. Ladies' figure skating

*~RussianBleux~* said:
Thank you!! I've been anxiously awaiting the updates. :biggrin: Sounds like Alysa hit it out of the park. I'm not surprised at all she won with that content but how did Ting do? Any mistakes? did you see her coach?

Ting started off strong with a good 3/3 (Rippon on both, again) and a few other jumps, then some errors and pops got in the way but overall it wasn't bad. My biggest gripe with the program is that the music does a lot during a series of spins and they just don't mesh together. I saw that guy who was at the boards yesterday again today but I don't recognize him and he had his badge under his jacket so I couldn't get a good look at it. I didn't feel ok going up to him and asking who he was.
 
Alysa's been doing incredible, winning Broadmoor Open, Aerial Challenge, and Glacier Falls already :)
 
There are a couple of very impressive novice ladies at Glacier Falls.
Alena Budko is very polished.
Kate Wang from San Francisco is a big WOW! Tiny with incredible jumps- triple lutz triple loop combo, and a triple sal half loop triple sal. Interesting spins and choreography as well. Will she bE getting a North American event?

Novices don't get JGP events. There's a possibility that they could get advanced novice events later in the season. There is this North American series but I haven't been following it closely.
 
Kate Wang won novice ladies at Glacier Falls with a score in her long of 97.67. She is spectacular. USFS needs to be paying attention to her. She has incredible potential.
 
She is 12, same age as Alysa. She’s good but I’d want her to have a higher scoring ceiling, probably at least around 110 for now

Will these programs be posted in a thread? I looked for Alysa on YouTube and found her SP but, her long was not been posted

You're forgetting that Kate Wang is a NOVICE, not a Junior. There are limitations on what Novices are allowed to do. And this is a summer competition---97.67 is a very big number for a novice so early in the season. You do not want a skater to peak too early.

How many events can these young skaters attend? Is there season as long as the rest of the levels?

is there a video of her lutz loop or 3-1/2-3? or were you just there and saw it in person?

Thanks! If he's her coach we should know him by Sept as she will be on the JGP. :) Interesting about her choreography. Thats always a little disappointing but maybe she and her team will make some changes. I'm really looking forward to seeing her programs.

Was anyone else clean other than Alysa? Megan, Ashley, or Akari?
 
In the old days, Glacier falls would give the videos to Ice Network to be view for free. Good times...

You'd think with skating having so many problems with ratings (In The US) that these early events would be available to a site like this. If I were promoting skating, I'd make sure I sent videos to any site with over a 1000 members. A site like this who has thousands of members should be provided with clips of these smaller non-televised events. I consider myself to be fairly savvy at hunting down videos but now that some events are blocked on YouTube, it's getting harder to discover these younger skaters.
 
Well the Glacier Falls people used to send videos to Ice Network, which sadly doesn't exist anymore. :cry: Maybe they should consider sending them to USFS for their fan site.

Edited: I see frida mentioned it already!

Has anyone seen Angela Wang this season? I'm always happy to see skaters stick around but, does she a realistic chance of making an impact this season. Her placement at Glacier Falls has me worried. Is it possible her programs are still not complete? I hate to see her finish 6th in a field with so little Senior depth.

I wonder if they're still locked into some contract that prevents them from doing so of if they're trying to find distribution for said videos (in which case they wouldn't be able to post them anywhere as that constitutes as publishing them). I understand the whole let's drum up publicity where ever we can point of view but Glacier Falls might be more interested in regaining revenue that they lost from Ice Network than promoting the sport.

Sorry, distribution rights apparently are my geeky happy place.
 
Seems that Hannah Miller is an entry for U.S. Collegiates? Coming up this week.

Also, returning medalists from 2017: Heidi Munger, silver; and Kevin Shum, gold.

Starting Orders and Results for 2018 U.S. Collegiates will be here: http://www.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2018/27790/index.asp

I could be wrong, but IIRC, Glacier Falls (and the video production company) gave the video to IN each year for free. No revenue was generated, AFAIK. My guess is that there was no contract.
My understanding is that it was simply something nice that GF wanted to do for skating fans.
