2024 Skate America Women's SP

[Jeanie19]

Elyce. Beautiful pink and white dress. Two mistakes, but she regrouped and the rest was so good.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Elyse: The music has got to go, but honestly? After the nightmare beginning it was like she decided to enjoy it and her artistic performance improved by leaps and bounds.

 

[CellarDweller]

I am indeed.

Ok then. So you're in Allen, Texas. In Dallas (30 minutes away) there is a restaurant called Black Tap. They sell "extreme" shakes.

They're called the crazy shakes.

I'm starting to get sleepy now.

score felt a bit... generous

 

[YuBluByMe]

Score’s too high. That wasn’t a plus 60.

 

[lariko]

Dunno if I would have put her ahead of Kaiser and Mikutina...

 

[readernick]

Not really on the Elyce train, yet. She has very nice qualities. Good basics and good jump technique. I think the program is just boring.

 

[Jammers]

Is the US cursed with female skaters with the name Grace who have big jumps but are wildly inconsistent?

 

[Sabsi]

Nina, please give us a clean skate!

 

[Dawn825]

Generous score?

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Good thing that Isabeau didn't keep Swan Lake for her SP because then we'd have two in a row now...

 

[mermaidfestavol3]

PCS keeps her ahead of Kaiser, which feels fair...although the jumps had mistakes they were fully rotated, so no further TES deduction.

 

[lariko]

Okay, how's Pinzaronne this year?

 

[labgoat]

Well I am curious to see Niina again. She had a rough go at the end of last season. She always has interesting choreography and themes and is a gutsy skater.

 

[jorge2912]

Another of my favorites Nina Pinzarrone.. Go Nina!!!!

Agreed. I would’ve had her behind Yuna based on components..,

 

[yelyoh]

That was more typical of ELG with the jump issues.
