I'm sorry, I'm out

Oh my god, that was basically Y-Daughter at her practice earlier tonight*.

*Footnote Reference: see my post about “blaxels” on page 7(ish) in this thread.

pity that alysa is too young for junior worlds, but at least the next season will probably be hers (alongside kanysheva )... very excited to see this kid on the jgp in a few months!

Hanna’s 3-3 is worth the price of admission!!

 

[jillredhand]

Man, is my screen just lagging, or does Hanna have a fabulous delay on her rotations when jumping?

It's the final group and my cat is hopped into my lap again. Everytime!

Hanna’s 3-3 is worth the price of admission!!

Ooof. She can definitely sit at the senior table after that combo.

 

[Lissy]

Hanna is my new favorite. Just saying.

 

[rachno2]

This is really great, but it makes me miss Karen, ngl

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Save yourself a migraine and enjoy but be sure to call the under rotations when u see them

I am prepared


(BTW, there are some really weird carrot gif out there-slightly NSFW)

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

She’s holding on and I forgot to breath like that whole performance ....what a boss!!!

 

[ancientpeas]

Hiya all.. I missed the Ruffledone..:sad:

 

[GGFan]

I'm reading papers so I can only background watch. Very impressed with Hanna. She's serious about those jumps!

I'm having a great time tonight watching but it's so disappointing and sad compared to last year. I was in person last year at all of the free skates and the gala and even though I live 15 minutes away, I stayed at the same hotel as the skaters (and yes I sat in the lobby/bar and enjoyed watching everyone after the competition. But my claim to fame was being in the elevator with Ashley and Adam right after Adam skated. Bonus, I saw Ashley at the bar roughly 15 minutes later getting two glasses of wine for Adam!). All of that, plus the Olympic year, plus everyone skating so well makes this Nationals kind of a bummer.

With that said, the young skaters, particularly in this event, are giving me so much hope! It's nice to see much better technique overall from the skaters. I don't mind that they can't handle their nerves yet because for so many of them, this is their senior debut. Giving me hope for Beijing!

This is my second year watching Nationals and I agree. Maybe because it's not an Olympic year and the pressure isn't as high as last year but everyone seems more relaxed overall. There were a lot more mistakes and boring programs last year compared to now where it seems like an actual competition. It's nice to see that there is potential for the US women because it's been almost 2 decades since we've had some top talent that could compete (and win) internationally.

Is Hannah old enough/have her minimums for 4CC?

 

[oly2018]

That was very impressive. She is a really mature performer for someone who is 15.

 

[Nathan13]

Wow this is the best Ladies' free in recent memory by a mile *at US Nats*

 

[cheerknithanson]

My goodness.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

wow! I've never seen Hanna skate so well before, clean in both programs :luv17:

 

[frida80]

Yes Hanna!!!!!!!!

Truly a comeback! She's come so far this season!

 

[Heleng]

That was fantastic from Hanna! Missed her short yesterday, will have to go back and watch.
