2022 U.S. Nationals: Senior Free Dance

[Seven Sisters]

Hah, I was a bit too mean when describing him to my mother and she’s now 100% on their side

He really has improved though! I give him all the credit in the world for that.

I give her a lot of credit too, for sticking with the partnership and putting in the work.

Sorry but literally the only thing I can think of when I hear this music is "Nathan Chen." Even if I'm out somewhere I'll go "this is Nathan Chen's free skate music" and people look at me like I'm nuts.

Score box nitpick: For the other competitions, I think they've shown the base value for the element and then what was earned with GOE. Here they show the MAX (I assume if the element got all +5 GOE). I find it confusing and don't know why it would be different for dance.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Don't give up on him yet. Remember when Maddie and Evan started skating together? The Vixen and the Goober? And look at them now

I do remember that, and still find him the far superior dancer TBH

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I don't know this team, but I'm ready for an Elton medley

...oh, it's the movie covers

 

[moonvine]

I literally cannot believe it is 7:44, I'm about to fall asleep. Too much stress.

I know nothing in ID and this is again demonstrated by the judges' love of this team, of which I was left stone cold

 

[kmw227]

That was really fun! Even more impressive that they only teamed up in July. I’ll be keeping an eye on them for sure!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I kind of lost interest part way through that. Obviously they’re a new team but they don’t have much of a connection imo, and nothing too special in the choreography.

 

[Hyena]

This team is really good for being brand new, and this would have been his first year in seniors anyway right? He's a very good skater and performer.

 

[karne]

He's more charismatic than she is IMO, maybe it's just the program.

Ben says they are working with the Whites, and that explains a lot, he did remind me a little of Charlie.

@Seven Sisters tries to explain it to me. I'm a slow learner.

 

[yelyoh]

That was a tad sloppy but the judges liked it.

 

[moonvine]

OK Ben that was strange.

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

 

[bigsisjiejie]

I'm baffled why so much panel and judge love for Bratti/Somerville. They aren't THAT great.

 

[LadyB]

I like Wolfkostin/Chen, wishing them a better run than the RD.

Does Kaitlyn have feet? I've never noticed.

 

[invisiblespiral]

@Seven Sisters tries to explain it to me. I'm a slow learner.

Can I join in the class? I don't really understand dance either, even though I should.

 

[kmw227]

Katarina & Jeffrey have such a bright future ahead of them. They’re both such wonderful performers!
