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

[lizardlass]

Too bad about the 3A, but it was still such a lively and strong performance for Alysa! Also, she looks so different with bangs. Very cute!

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.

Yeah, you gotta appreciate skaters who can brush off a fall and keep on fighting!

And I thought so too, it's a program made for clapping even for me who can't clap in time

 

[invisiblespiral]

Apart from the 3a fall, not a bad SP from Alysa.

(she also reminds me of my younger sister)

 

[yelyoh]

Alysa same tech as Mariah but minus one for the fall. Tech bit higher than Karen but PCS?

 

[Hyena]

I think Alysa's made some jokes about the bangs, but I love them.

Scores will be tight with Karen and Mariah.

Guessing Alysa will go into 3rd with that fall.

 

[Jammers]

Why go for the 3axel when a clean program probably will lead or close to leading?

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Not Liu's best and way to go for the 3A but such a gamble - she's still in the mix but could have made it closer.

Bell and Chen were clearly the class of the field tonight!

 

[Skatingcat]

Alysa skates a bit like she doesn't care. It works both her and against her.
I love how refreshing it is, but it doesn't hold a candle to Bell/Chen.
And Gracie...... SO happy for her.

USFS will probably do blind eyes to this always ur triple toe combo, but it's not like the Russia doesn't do the same thing with some of those quad ur

Yeah, Karen was totally gifted with a q on that combo. She should have gotten a ding on the first half the combo, too.

Looks like Alysa got a gift on the 3A, too, which should have been a full downgrade.

I wish they'd mark 'em honest. Otherwise this has been a well scored competition.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Alyssa's dress is giving me Spiderman, but goddamn if this girl doesn't have some pep in her step. Her new height, her bright costume, the music, her speed, everything just communicate ENERGY across the screen

 

[momrk]

Okay, so missed the 3A but she didn't let it stop her

 

[invisiblespiral]

Why go for the 3axel when a clean program probably will lead or close to leading?

She can make up ground in the FS with higher technical content?

 

[Dawn825]

This is such a weird vibe

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

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....

Agreed, Jun deserves far higher scores than he gets. He is a literal treasure and his skating is SO underrated. (rant over)

#AudreyShin - "Obviously the the first jump combination didn't go as planned and I'm disappointed with that combination, but the rest of the program was pretty good." On music: "I chose this piece with my choreographer and it fits me well."

 

[Seven Sisters]

Dumb question, which one is Drew Meekins, the guy with the glasses, or the one without?

 

[alexocfp]

On the slo mo, that 3A fall looked like a disaster avoided. The ankle went one way, the rest of the body went the other.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Why go for the 3axel when a clean program probably will lead or close to leading?

I guess she's hoping to get it down for the Olympics? It might get her in the lead here, but against Kamila, there's no chance.

 

[SnowWhite]

She really does look different with the bangs
