2023 U.S. Nationals Sr. Women's Short Program

[momrk]

Wow, nicely surprised by Audrey! Good for her!!

 

[Brenda_Bottems]

We've had a plethora of tangos tonight, but Audrey Shin's is the first successful attempt. Sophisticated.

 

[Jeanie19]

Audrey. Pretty dress and hair bow. She has lovely arms. Clean skate and she stayed in character throughout.

 

[labgoat]

I think that may be first

Not sure how much people care about the drinking game created on behalf of the things I say as commentary (I will happily stop after this comment if people find it annoying) but one of the prompts is when I call out the hair. One of my BIGGEST pet peeves in skating hair that doesn't stay put (I love you Madison Chock but your hair stresses me out ) and they claimed I would be a fan of Audrey even before she skated because her hair wasn't going anywhere.

Audrey is in the zone as the Maria not from the West Side…

“I just met a girl named Maria!!”

“Well, not that one.”

 

[purplecat]

Oh darn, unders

I’m dying.

 

[momrk]

hmmm.. a little surprised she is in second but still good job

 

[badknees]

Peacock has their microphones too close to the ice and the crowd noise. It's weird.

 

[CellarDweller]

The second jump in her combo was underrotated.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Audrey skated like a boss. She is just so confident. I hope this is enough to place her in the top flight

Really depends on how the rest skate. And oof, much lower than I expected…

 

[momrk]

Fingers crossed for Bradie

 

[Dawn825]

Not a promising score

 

[yelyoh]

second. underrotations. Get a new coach.

 

[TCAngel18]

Ugh, they must have downgraded the 2nd toe

Very on topic because nationals are in the Bay Area, but the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum Corps did a GORGEOUS field show in 2009 of this whole score. https://youtu.be/bkDxtuC6yEU

Actually, I have always loved the drama of drum corps and marching bands and had hoped there would be more skates based on these types of shows.

 

[jgg220]

Bradie looks like an aristocratic European bee and that bee is buzzing through the jumps with elegance and ease.

 

[CellarDweller]

Ugh, they must have downgraded the 2nd toe

Slow motion close up on USA shows it was underrotated.
