2023 Skate America Practice Reports

[dorispulaski]

If you have any, please post them!

Peacock periodically shows the day's practice schedule and the skate order during practices.

ALL TIMES ARE CENTRAL, NOT EASTERN.

 

[dorispulaski]

Peacock is going to show practice sessions!

I know there is probably a practice schedule somewhere, but those color coded columns give me headaches.

Pairs are on now (11 am EDT)

The Peacock Practice cam is actually good: it stays on the skater practicing their music, as opposed to the Olympics (?) Yuzu/Nathan cam. It gives a banner with their names and IG handle when they start.

Anastasia and Luke look good on choreo. Marking throws and jumps.

(Don't expect this all practice, I have five minutes now. And if I figure out when the men are. )

 

[el henry]

Irma and Riccardo: Irma fell on the first jump. She landed a throw, but it was maybe a double(?) Don't ask me to count revolutions even for throws. Now they're marking.

What is that voice over at the end

The men start at 11:35 Central.
Dance starts at 1:10 Central.
The women start at 2:45 Central.

Very good quality to the Peacock video; music is a bit low.

Rough practice for Plazas/Fernandez (a couple of falls during the music) but at least their lifts were nice!

I really liked their choreo. (No I am not there yet. Yesterday was not a Gracie in Boston/Norwood death March but it was a mini death March.

Eating I think

Kevin is wonderful!!

 

[el henry]

Kevin brings the drama, passion and performance even to practice.

I am beginning to think I will allow Bolero. Only for Kevin.

Marked all the jumps.

Kevin's practice was so fun to watch!

Shun landed his jumps, looked strong. I wish he could borrow some of Kevin's pizazz. (And Kevin could borrow his jumps).

I'm guessing those jumps were 4T-3T, 4T, and 3A. Definitely looked good for him.

Edit: The solo jump was a 4F, dangit

Salchows not working for Tatsuya Tsuboi. Not the best practice.

Nozomu popped a 3A into a 2A, though solid on jumps as usual. A little bit more commitment to the choreography than usual.

Fun performance from Andreas, realized that "Personal Jesus" is perfect for performing in Texas, lol.

Sorry, but Vladimir's music is reminding me of the "Ding, Fries are Done" song.
