Aww. Nice smile from Kelly Ann at the end of their skate.

Off topic: Hey folks, how’s autumn going in the US? It’s my favorite season because I love the weather, but here in Mexico, we don’t really see many trees changing colors like in Maine, for example.

Very weird where I am. In the 70s today. But it’s been cold enough long enough for trees.
Nothing like Maine though.

Was beautiful SP, expressive and technically amazing, the choreography is very nice

Good for the Canadians! A bit slower than some of the others, but a great program.

Because Peacock hates us.

LOL! NBC has no f* idea how to cover figure skating. Boils down to money. Trying to sell viewers something. Maybe they had trouble getting a separate announcer for Peacock. I sincerely hope that NBC is not covering U.S. Nationals this way on Peacock. This is nightmarish!!! The a*hole commercials and Tara's relentless voice!

Sparkly!

6. Annika HOCKE & Robert KUNKEL GER
SP: "Hold My Hand" by Lady Gaga

3Tw4
3S (Annika steps out)
3FTh
5RLi4 (a bit slow on turns but not too scratchy)
BiDs3
CCoSp4
StSq4

SP: 68.26 (1st)

Annika and Robert always have such great performance quality, Annika is such a star. Apart from the SBS stepout, this was a strong skate from these two. They look much better compared to earlier in the season as Robert recovers from his hand surgery during the summer and certainly stronger than they did at Worlds.

I'm disappointed in Chan/Howe. They beat Ako/Rakh at John Nicks and scored 71+ a few weeks ago. They should be competitive with Hocke/ Kunkel at the least, but no. What a bummer.

Shame about the sal step out but what a nice program.

 

[lariko]

Very fun program from the Germans!

 

[moonvine]

Great job Annika and Robert! Unicorn magic!

Annika/Robert. I love their outfits and this is a good program. Really good skate.

 

[bartlebooth]

Happy for Annika and Robert! Nice skate!

I subscribed to Peacock for the Olympic season. It is my most expensive streaming subscription yet I must sit thru ads for everything I watch, some 3 minutes long. Also, they ask me to verify my email every time I sign in. This is a huge disappointment ..

Annika and Robert looked good. Hope his hand is ok! Into 1st! Now they're happy.

Just wait until the women, when Alysa turns up, you will not be able to shut them up.

IMO, the music selections have been like Taylor Swift’s new album — very forgettable… well, except for the Armenian team.

Berulava was scaring me on that lift.

Mismatched blacks again (and yes, I know I harp on but some of the men can manage not go wear all black without clashing with themselves!!!)
