2024 U.S. Nationals Senior Women's Free Skate

[FlossieH]

Finally! A live skater!!!

Hey Sonja sewed her own dress, maybe she can sew me one to make $$$ for training expenses.

I wish pro skating was still a thing for someone like Sonja. She has a point of view that people should see more than once or twice a year. So unique.

This program by Sonja is brilliant. The music is from an animated TV show which is heavily inspired by Asian cultures. The show is great, and you can tell Sonja spent a lot of time crafting this program. There are so many nods to the show in the choreography. She mimics the element bending moves from the show throughout the choreography, and does part of the Dragon Dance at the end. I know some people said it seemed like a "generic vaguely Asian program", and on the surface I can see how it might look like that, but in reality it is a wonderful tribute to a great show. I love it so much.

I hate skating scoring. If she can do things no one else can do she should get points for that.

Sonja. Her choreography is so creative. I love her 3S2S.

Sonja is incredible

Really like Hilmer's bi directional elements, her interesting choreo, and her cool cantilever and ina bauer. So happy to see her at this nationals comp.

Yeah Sonja should do choreo. Liked that 3sal 2sal combo though a bit awkward. Rohene used to jump in opposite directions and it was exciting but he was inconsistant and look at the choreo he has done

This music is giving me Kwan 2000 Worlds flashbacks.

 

[jgg220]

Hilmer is a superstar and her devotion to unique and creative moves and elements should be worth 25 bonus points.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Elin jumps high. She has flow and attack. I felt bad about her opening trple triple

 

[SmileHappy34]

Outside her opening .
Jump . She skated decent.and good.

I would 1000% rather see that than jump jump jumpity jump. I really wish the scoring was different.

 

[auser]

Lovely spins, spiral and ina bauer from Elyse.

 

[nickp91]

This music was the perfect choice for Lin-Gracey!

 

[yelyoh]

ELG is so good but I wish she would relate to audience more. And it's Tammy's job to prep her head for seniors.

 

[purplecat]

I love Elyse! Good for her for not letting the fall disrupt the rest of the program!
