2021 Skate America: Women's Short Program

[Jammers]

Daria looks so thin especially in the face and looks about 36.

Now that was stunning. And she looked so genuinely happy during that step sequence, it was so good to see. Amazing job Daria!

(Definitely had a costume that color when I competed, so it’s a yes from me!)

 

[Fluture]

Wow, great by Daria! I honestly enjoyed that. Good job.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Usacheva tried her damndest to make the most out of a terrible program. It’s saying a lot that she almost succeded.

Amazing. Elegant. I loved Daria's skate. Her flexibility

 

[Hyena]

I love Daria, and this for me is the closest a program's come to matching her abilities (flow, musicality, performance). Just gorgeous jumps IMO.

 

[moonvine]

What's with the colour though? Orange? Does anyone look good in orange?

Audrey's nailing it too!

I look like I am dead in orange or yellow. There are ladies who can wear yellow though so surely there are some who can wear orange.

Daria had huge jumps.... didn't like her flip entrance though. I think she went to gabby daleman's makeup school

Daria is very elegante on the ice. Beautiful performance.

 

[SnowWhite]

She really performs with her body nicely. That was very confident and well skated.

Flawless skate by Daria Super clean, so elegant, just lovely to watch! Actually made me enjoy The Greatest showman for once..

I wish there was room for Daria in OG-team.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Program's not to my taste but what's new, good skate

 

[Vemvane]

Electricity is back, hooray, so I rushed to make a cup of tea, and got back in time for Daria. And, oh, Daria, she has passion and music in her soul. She can sell the ballads, she has so much power and emotion in her skating and her performance. What a lovely, confidence-giving senior debut skate for her!

 

[readernick]

Love Daria but they always give her such terrible programs. Lovely elements for Daria today, but the performance felt off.. And the music is terrible

 

[Jeanie19]

Daria. She is a beautiful, lyrical skater. I really like her dress, too.

 

[soccerjc77]

It's salmon pink color. not orange.

 

[skycastles]

Such a powerful program!! I really love Daria's dress. I really enjoyed it, but I'm a big fan of the song she's skating too so maybe that is part of the bias

 

[skylark]

Beautiful, Daria ... and the crowd goes wild! So far everyone has really felt her music, which seems like a small miracle!

 

[rollerblade]

Usacheva is such an expressive skater, but for some reason she always gets the most generic choreo, set to even more generic warhorse music.
I guess the upside is, they could easily change her music and we'd be none the wiser.

HATE Daria's dress.
