2023 U.S. Nationals Sr. Pairs Short Program

[GGFan]

I admit I find Danny O'Shea's bald head rather distracting. The naked head and patchy chest hair detracts from his otherwise outstanding body line. After all, there are some fabulous toupee options available for athletes these days.

I love it. I cannot with toupees. I find it brave and honest. I wonder if an ice dancer could pull it off given how aesthetically focused that discipline is.

I am so happy to see Danny back

Not excited about the age difference, but she has lovely lines to match Danny.

When will I get used to his bald head

When I do. Never.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Well done

 

[momrk]

Well, that was a nice Nationals debut. Danny is such a good pairs guy

Been hearing the Prayer a lot the last two days, but I don't mind since I like it. And I really like Kam & O'Shea - lots of lovely qualities. The throw looks big enough to add the third rotation - hope that comes soon... their lifts are super.

 

[Kenyie]

Kam and O'Shea: thank you! Beautiful choreography, exquisite positions and energy! With more work, they can be world class! Or they might already be...

 

[sworddance21]

That was really lovely!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

did not find me worthy of seeing that whole program but what I did see was better than expected given I heard they had rough practices

 

[CellarDweller]

It sounds like a lot of us find his bald head distracting.

I will say, I think he looks good bald, but like you all, I found it distracting.

 

[el henry]

OMG, the techno Bee Gees remix. Grammy can tell that's a remix. Not what she busted moves to back in the day.

Shoot me now

 

[Ichatdelune]

Someone knock some sense into the DJ, @moonvine?

I think it looks great.

[Brenda_Bottems]

When will I get used to his bald head

Never. And the judges feel the same. I maintain his component scores will grow--once he grows hair.

 

[momrk]

Looking forward to the next pair too! Fun last group

 

[skylark]

Beautiful skate, Ellie and Danny! great unison on sbs spins!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Omg this song… I haven’t heard it since Leonova in 2017… I remember some kids behind me at Lake Placid laughing hysterically.

The set-up to their throw jump displayed a level of telegraphing that would have impressed Samuel Morse.
