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

[lizardlass]

Seems kind of low for Audrey, I thought her components looked better than that. :/

 

[yelyoh]

Whoa. Gracie is in the final flight for FS.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Is it me but national inflating of scores is alive and well OR USA is going to win team gold. The pairs score suggest podium finishes. WHo needs Russia the USA is ready to dominate with their two best events to come. THe world might as well bow down because these scores suggest team gold is USA!

Of course there's inflation at Nationals, everybody knows that. Just let us have our fun

 

[Jammers]

So does Alysa go for the 3 axel or play it safe and skate a clean program. If she skates clean she won't be worse then 3rd.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Good luck Alysa!!

A ton of ice dancers at the 2010 Olympics did LOL!

I strongly disliked this music after that. But I felt more kindly watching Chen's beautiful spins and spirals tonight

 

[Seven Sisters]

Tammy Gambill DOUBLE masking, looks like. Well played

 

[museksk8r]

Wow! What a surprise for Gracie Gold to finish in the top 6 after the SP and now a place in the final group of the free skate.

 

[Skater Boy]

Lol no. This is good ol home grown nationals inflation we see every year.

Okay sorry about that. I love watching figure skating but I am no expert. I personally think Sui and Han and the Russians are still better but these scores are kind of what those teams get with a clean skate so i was thinking wow, USA has the gold if these are the two weakest events and the best lady still to skate

Whoa. Gracie is in the final flight for FS.

Yas Queen.

#KarenChen - "I'm super proud of my skate given the pressures due to the Olympic season. It helps knowing that I have a lot of experience in these situations. I trust myself to go with flow and focus on the things I can control."

Tammy Gambill DOUBLE masking, looks like. Well played

Jenny and Todd have been triple masked all week.

This is what Amber needs to learn how to do. Fall on a 3A, get up, and skate the rest of the program cleanly. Also, I love this program. It's so much fun.

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

She's skating this too rushed. She was actually completing the movement earlier in the season.

 

[lariko]

Okay, guys, I saw my awesome Alysa, and I need to work tomorrow so good night! Shame about that 3A

 

[el henry]

Will like to add that KSU is renowned for its salty judging and I WISH they'd look at RusNats or US Nats and pick up a few things

Agreed, can't speak to the ladies, but Jun does not get nearly enough love. Not to mention the 85 comps a month.

Sorry for the OT....

 

[rain]

Dear God, look at the tech box. Ludicrously overscored already. She should by rights be nowhere near Mariah and Karen. Nowhere, near.

 

[ladykk]

Strong skate from Alysa! I'd have her do the team event at Olympics with just a 2A to be safe - the consistency just doesn't seem to be there right now.

 

[kmw227]

Pretty good skate from Alysa but I’ve seen her skate that program better this season. Nice performance though!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Too bad about the 3A! I really like this program for Alysa - It is still 'young' and fun, but more mature than her previous programs in similar styles. Well done overall!

I must say, she looks like a totally different person with the bangs!
