2022 U.S. Nationals: Senior Free Dance

[Joe Mendoza]

did Johnny just refer to both of them as flowers?!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I’d definitely put that ahead of B/S, hope the judges agree.

What is a Salchowta?

 

[charmblade]

I love seeing Karen cheering on her brother. But I also can’t help thinking “go hide in your bubble until the Olympics!”

 

[Hyena]

It's maybe not Sui/Han, but Wolfkostin/Chen have a great program, well-choreographed, and they're much more closely-matched skaters than Bratti/Somerville. I'd have them in first.

 

[moonvine]

It's going to be close.

 

[yelyoh]

I liked W/C so much better than B/S and really good connection but it will depend on PCS.

What is a Salchowta?

Saw that too, think it was supposed to be "Stationary Lift" but maybe Tech Panel has invented new secret language for themselves.

 

[auser]

Aww.. Karen cheering wildly for her bro. I am with you Karen. Enjoyed that skate and can't wait to watch W/C grow.

 

[Joe Mendoza]

camera man, yall be so shady!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Remember—watch the feet! Actually, from the knees down. That’s the secret

I am way too busy watching their arms and faces, I admit

 

[Hyena]

For those wanting to learn more about Ice Dance - I can't recommend the Technical Panel YouTube channel enough. I've learned so much already and can't wait for them to put out more videos.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

I call BS on this scoring! W/C should be ahead.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Ughhh

 

[charmblade]

I saw Pate/Bye at the US Classic and this free dance is fantastic!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Lol what, Hunger Games voice overs?

 

[yelyoh]

B/S held up. Who are they paying off?

 

[moonvine]

What an utterly bizarre choice of music.

 

[Hyena]

I kind of wonder if they're holding B/S above W/C since the latter is skating junior internationally - we'll see if the standings shift next year. B/S aren't bad by any means though, and with them being so new, I expect improvement...

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Pate grinning her way through a frankly somber music choice, is off putting.
