2023 Skate America Women's Short Program

[RatedPG]

I expected higher for Nini

 

[EdgeCall]

Huh?! For a second I thought Xiangyi skates again.

 

[Jeanie19]

Seems low?

It does.

 

[FlossieH]

What is a “classy combination”, Chris. Does anyone have a trashy combination?

He's come out with a few odd things today. I think I'm still adjusting from Ted and Mark's JGP commentary.

Oh no, Clare down hard on the opening lutz

 

[labgoat]

Music seems really quiet

 

[YuBluByMe]

This song sucks.

 

[EdgeCall]

Clare looked like skating to a different piece of music.

 

[shan22044]

Check out the older chick in the audience with a cold shoulder top. In an ice rink! That's hardcore.

 

[lileychristie]

I spy a giant blue stuffie - is that you again @moonvine?

 

[Princessroja]

I really enjoyed that from Clare. I like the concept for the program, and there were some really nice bits of choreography in there that hit the musical accents.

 

[RatedPG]

Close to Xiangyi TES score despite fall on 3Lz and triple double

 

[Jontor]

Clare is a lovely skater. But that fall on the Lutz and just a 2T on the combo was costly.

 

[auser]

We are seeing some very pretty spins today. Thank you skaters.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Clare is such a beautiful skater, her spins are so pretty
Jumps didnt go as planned but this was a solid GP debut.

 

[Jeanie19]

Clare. Pretty dress. Shame about the lutz. Good skate.

 

[labgoat]

I love this music - but then I love Aaron Copeland. I'd rather hear this than dozens of Roxanne's

 

[FlossieH]

She reminds me of Karen Chen. Were they both with Tammy Gambill throughout?

Check out the older chick in the audience with a cold shoulder top. In an ice rink! That's hardcore.

That woman is a prominent poster on another figure skating board. I've met her several times and she is a wonderful person, friends with many of the skaters. I have no comment on the cold shoulder look.
