2023 Skate America Women's Short Program

[yelyoh]

One level 3 on a spin. Tech bit below Amber

My favourite short program out of all the ladies!! Every detail really thought out. I think her skating skills are much better than Amber!! I hope she is close to Amber with a score over 70.

oh. and we are back to disagreeing it will have lasted a couple weeks hahaha

 

[Jontor]

Wow! What a fun program from Isabeau! The most fun I've had seeing her!

By now, I was sure that her jumping technique would deterioate...but I was wrong! Great stuff.

 

[yelyoh]

I think Amber should stay in first

Good skate Isabeau. Hope for a high score. She got 70 under Amber. Happy she got 70.

Okay, how to put this diplomatically…

I know some people say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but all I see here is imitation, and I just can’t enjoy Isabeau’s interpretation of a Chock/Bates program that’s barely a few seasons old, because it just makes me think, come up with your own idea, please. I don’t doubt that it is sincere and heartfelt but it is not her own and I would rather see a program that shows me what is unique and special about Isabeau, not her inspirations.

Ooh, new ending pose for Isabeau. Though I like the fact that she's trying something different, I'm still unsure about this program...

 

[YuBluByMe]

YES! Below Glenn like she should be.

Isabeau had such a Meh reaction!

 

[SmileHappy34]

Go Loena

 

[yelyoh]

Whoa good judging

 

[4everchan]

Amber still first ! WOW ! I agree with the judges.

How's everyone watching? I'm on Peacock. Only allow 24 hours of replay...

Peacock; loving it without the goofy USA commentators! I feel like I am there

 

[CellarDweller]

I'm surprised she's not in first....I guess it was a toss up.

Isabeau was slower, but had the combo of Lutz - Toe. Amber was faster, but had a combo of Flip - Toe.

I think Amber's program was much faster, and had better flow, and that made a difference.

 

[SmileHappy34]

YES! Below Glenn like she should be.

As much as I like , no I would have put closer to 70 amber score. They are match in short . Surprised amber got score. She always gets high at skate America than lower elsewhere

 

[shan22044]

looks like maybe she toned down her face makeup. Thank God!

 

[shan22044]

LOL she did a Christopher Bowman (RIP)!!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

That was great! Should take the pole.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Doesn't matter Loena did fantastic and should go into first.

 

[yelyoh]

Loena skated like Kaori. Fab.
