Is there an entry list anywhere? The link doesn't have them because the start orders aren't up yet.

 

[Ice Dance]

Is there an entry list anywhere?

I haven't seen any entry lists for sectionals posted yet. Am waiting for the great unraveling/unveiling of where all the junior ice dance teams are going to compete so that all the competitive teams can get into Nationals. (Though with Amoia & Becker apparently split, that opens things up a wee bit).

Hope the people watching can share how the senior ladies did.

Based on the scores I’d say Alysa was clean.

Based on the scores I’d say Alysa was clean.

Her triple axel was gorgeous. I thought the 2nd jump in her combo might have been a bit short. Great spins. Clearly a major talent.

ETA: protocols indicated that she was clean!

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Got my fingers crossed for a few folks here ...

Just watched the Ladies short.

Really liked Alysa for sure! Also Sierra and of course my Akari. Livvy was nice.
Sorry to see the friction between Liza and her mom in the K and C but I hope they work it out...Liza was understandably upset with her skate, of course...

I've just had a look at the Ladies entry list and found out that Elizabeta Kulik is participating in this competition. She's 8th after the SP and she was quite devastated after her performance. You could see it in the K&C. She discussed with her mother and even refused her consolation. Nevertheless, it was great to see Katia Gordeeva (although she seemed quite tired and worried). BTW, it's funny that both her daughters are vivid images of their fathers. Daria resembles Sergei and Liza has Ilia's face

I am a fan of her mother's so it was sad to Liza upset/crying after her program and pulling her hands away from her mother. Katia has mentioned on Instagram that Liza has Olympic dreams.

In this new Olympic cycle, I'm sure she was hoping to make it to Nationals and start making a name for herself. She has to be in the top 4 to make it to Nationals. From 8th place in the SP that's going to be hard but I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Congrats to those who made it the nationals!
I'm not signed up on the NBC Gold so I can't watch the junior/senior sectionals (as I don't know which events exactly the NBC Gold site means by "Select US Figure skating events available" in my country and don't wanna waste my $$) but based on the protocol Alysa can rack up points not only from jumps but from spins and steps as well. And she expresses the music pretty well too. With great choreography I don't think it's far reaching to say she'll impress the world in the near future on the international stage the way Rika Kihira did at NHK. Looking forward to the Nationals.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

please, is there a youtube video of Alysa's free?

 

[CoyoteChris]

please, is there a youtube video of Alysa's free?

We just watched it on GOLD. No trying to diss anyone but she was the only one that skated at senior level and is only 13! Good job. (I still liked Akari )

I think the 3A is her best jump! The program is so well put together for her, great music choice (thank you Lord for not choosing LaLa Land, or some wailing ballad), age appropriate program construction which accentuates her strong points. Liu is of course super talented, but the coaching staff has done a wonderful job as well.

Presentation is worse than in SP, and it is understandable, very complicated jumping set.

Hope to see her at the top of podium at US Championships. Very talented girl.

And to divert to *my* favorite discipline...

Sean Rabbitt wins Pacific Sectionals for the fourth year in a row. Woot.
