2021 Lombardia Women's Short Program

I couldn't watch. Glad to see Lindsay's deduction was not for a fall, but a timeing issue. That's easily solved. Completely new programme and still more points (slightly) than at the WC. Good for her!

Light years away is a little strong. Russia can only send three skaters so that makes Alysa potentially only one place away from the Olympic podium with her current content. A lot can happen at the Olympics, as we have seen many times.

I don't think that she will beat Kaori without Ultra-C jumps. Then we have Rika and Koreans who may have finally a good day landing 3As and all other jumps. Of course, it's just my "uneducated" opinion against other "uneducated" opinions but I do believe that without 3A getting into the final group will be a challenge for her. 74 points could be not enough. And getting the podium from outside the last group without successfull quads is highly unlikely.

She was attempting 3A2T and 3Lz3Lp in the Free skate and a solo 3A in the SP at Silicon Valley Open in early August. The quality had quite a ways to go, which is why I am not surprised they were missing here at her senior debut.

Looks like Alysa will skate to the Gypsy Dance from Don Quixote this season. I guess this will be her short program. Here a small clip

I would not be surprised if by Olympics, the 3A's will look a lot better.

Alysa may have a 3A by the Olympics. We'll have to wait and see. And at Worlds this year, Karen Chen beat all three Japanese skaters (and all Korean skaters, too). So you never know.

I wonder, has there ever been a non-red/black Malaguena dress?

of course not, did spanish people ever wear other colors?

Well, Sasha Cohen wore a yellow dress with black accents for her (pretty magnificent) Malagueña SP at 2004 Worlds. I remember wondering at the time 'Why isn't Sasha in red and black?'.

Awesome job by Alysa in her Senior debut! ⛸⛸ I think she beat her own PB, and without the 3A!
