2022 U.S. Championships: Senior Women's Short Program

[moonvine]

Dropping in in the middle of a class I'm teaching to say congratulations to moonvine and her beloved

You are so sweet.

Prayer circle #2!

 

[yelyoh]

Same score as her last comp but still...

 

[moonvine]

Gracie
I've been keeping myself quiet, hoping not to jinx anyone.
But I really want to say that Gracie made me cry.
I am watching Japanese broadcast, and both commenters, one of them are Akiko Suzuki, are also in tears.

I want to see this broadcast and all broadcasts all over the universe of this skate.

 

[sworddance21]

I’m crying. Shut up Tara.

I stayed on Peacock so I wouldn't have to hear Tara.

 

[icybear]

Okay in some way I have to applaud Gracie considering much younger skaters like Evgenia and Alina can now only muster out one type of triple and only in exhibitions. For Gracie to skate a somewhat competitive SP is pretty incredible.

That is soooo cute! Oh my gosh! (although to be fair I think all of the skating world is in tears right now)

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Come on, Starr! Add that combo!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Go Starr!

A lady of many talents

 

[moonvine]

I logged into this thread quickly just to congratulate you!

I almost feel like this is a victory for YOU!

That is so sweet.

 

[sworddance21]

I'm not crying, you're crying...

I'm totally crying

 

[ruffledgrouse]

ehhhh... at least she got a combo

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

At least she didn't get a +BOMBO?
Your daily reminder that Starr is the one singing this song. The multi-talented queen continues to amaze us with her stunning vocals.

Somewhat? Most of these ladies have not been landing clean triple triple all year.

How have Starr's combos looked this season? I've loved her since her debut at nationals, but I haven't followed skating this year

 

[soccerjc77]

I don't know why guys but I really dream that Gracie make the top 2 at that national, not sure why, but it can definitely happen here.

She had a good 3T-3T at SkAm and the IdF SP doesn't count because she was sick/injured during it and had to pull out partway through.

 

[lizardlass]

I really like Starr's flow of movement. She's gotten a lot faster over the years. Too bad about the stumble on the combo, but it was overall pretty good.

 

[yelyoh]

Starr is too good for this to be happening!!! She needs a new coach but will never leave DD.

Gracie made my day (well, night).
