For me....this dress is Mao’s color

Don’t
Madame Butterfly deserved so much better.....

just 16 years old!!!

She’s a dinosaur in comparison to anyone who is ... under the age of 15.

I never thought I’d say this for any skater, but Nakahara’s tanos and rippons are all aesthetically pleasing!

Kudos to her for coming out and skating clean after Ting's standing ovation. :clapper:

The future is looking pretty good for the future of US Ladies. Finally some new blood to get the US back into the game again. It's good that there isn't the need to rely on Ashley, Gracie or Mirai now these girls have to make things happen now.

 

[Heleng]

I enjoyed Akari again!

I'm surprised they did not lavish Ting with more PCS than 62, when she had about a 61 at the Talinn Trophy. I thought Nationals + CLEAN skate would mean around a 65 for her. Not being in the last group may have hurt her, but still a wonderful score!

 

[Nathan13]

is there a live scoring this year to see the element scores as they come up?

 

[lizardlass]

Very nice job from Akari.

 

[oatmella]

Just got back and missed Ting

Akari's personalized squishmallow is so cute!

Go Megan!!

 

[SarahSynchro]

Oooh Megan, dat dress doe. Gorgeous!

 

[Jammers]

Megan reminds me a bit of Kaetlyn Osmond with her speed and wild style of skating. Very much like Osmond circa 2013.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Excelcius!!!!! Reminds me of Kevin Reynolds.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I’m getting a bit of Tori Amos and fishing video game vibes from this music and that’s not a bad thing in my books.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Did Megan medal at a GP earlier this season? I feel like she did... I’m trying to google the answer, but my internet is suddenly slow as paste.

 

[satine]

Phew! Got the three-combo in :thumbsup:

She competed at Skate America but didn't medal

Step sequence that holds my attention- the power of SPEED

She reminds me of Gabby
Another big jump, but 2 footed. Ugh, I jinxed her with that Gabby comparison :sad21:

No, but she placed 6th and did surprisingly well IIRC
