2018 US Championships Sr. Ladies SP

Bradie was definitely more tentative than I had expected but I am sure it was just down to nerves. I am not a fan of her long program but I am still really excited to see her skate it!
 
What i like with Bradie is we don't see any pukeface unlike some other skaters that look almost terrified going out there to skate. She looked confident.
 
Bradie was clean yet again (yay!) and I liked her skating though she travelled a bit in that last spin. I agree w the feeling that she was losing steam near the end. But I think she'll be well rewarded.
 
I agree. I don't see the hype. Someone like Starr Andrews had a gazillion more times personality and energy on the ice (note: I don't think either should be on the Olys team!!). I scrolled Facebook.
 
Bradie Tennell

Wonderful 3Lz+3T to open. Lovely camel spin with the hands behind the back into a good layback spin (could have better leg positions). A little squeaky on the 3Lo landing (I would give a +0, maybe a +1 if I was being generous). Nice 2A out of a spread eagle, and a well-centered spin to end.

I don't think the music really does anything for her, and doesn't bring out any particular emotion. I would want Wang to have higher PCS, but they will likely push Bradie's PCS up a bit. Bradie has a very strong skating skills, though. I actually think her step sequence should be a Level 3 and that the 3Lo should have been a +0 and not a +2 (if the scoring stays the way it is). Nonetheless, a solid program that should go into the lead.
 
Did her toepick hit the ice on the 2A? I saw the snow fly up but commentators acted like it was perfect so maybe not?
 
Well done but ... honestly, after seeing her skate several times now, I'm just bored out of my mind. She's as dull as dish water to me. I already don't remember the program. But hey, she's stable so well done.

She is not the most captivating yet, but she has the energy. Let her gather more experience and we'll see.
 
Well the tech box has magically reappeared with extra breakdown features just in time for the first heavy hitter, how convenient :laugh:
 
I ditched IN years ago. Its not worth near what is paid.

I'd been meaning to cancel for 2 years, just never remembered to call before the auto-renew kicked in... until this past summer, anyway. I didn't get much value out of icenetwork myself... but I could see how folks wanting to follow small domestic events might find some value out it.
 
Strong performance by Bradie. Her skating is not my favorite in terms of style, especially her arms, but she is consistent with excellent jumps and thoughtful structure to her programs.
