2025 Skate America Women's Short Program

[FlossieH]

I am surprised that Alysa has gone behind Rinka, but I think it is correct.

 

[demitasse]

alysa is such a lovely performer and manages to make the program still feel fresh and emotionally moving despite not being new

 

[4everchan]

Something is happening with Alysa. There is too much emotion... Even Scali was crying and both coaches were reaching towards her.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Nice score Rinks leads . . Wonder what alysa and her coaches talk about. She loin like she was crying

 

[TallyT]

Beautiful skate. She is going to take the lead from this skate.

She... didn't? Colour me shocked.

Something is off with Alysa Liu season, why as a world champion, that her team didn't do any new program for her this season, she deserve better for an Olympic season.

This is the most elegant Bollywood program since the one Leonova skated to.

Nastya has been skating really well this season, and she continues that with another clean short here! I really don't love this program from Anastasiia, it's very "Egyptian Arms but make it Indian", which is still not my favourite, but she does a good job performing it. I would like to see some transitions into her 3Lz next time, she had such a long setup for that element that was really distracting for me.

 

[SmileHappy34]

I would put her first.

 

[demitasse]

the emotional whiplash from alysa's program to this... help sdlkfjlkgj

 

[bartlebooth]

Gubanova is so consistent this season.

 

[4everchan]

After Alysa's deeply felt performance, Nastya's Bollywood is pretty shallow and flat.

 

[FlossieH]

Nice skate from Gubanova

 

[Minz]

I enjoy Alysa skating tonight, but I'm sad that she have not new program this season, as a world champion, she deserve better and new program !

She did, but well, one of the people she was skating to was found with, um, the dead body of a missing teenager in his car so they went back to the old program.

 

[TallyT]

Sorry, I don't like this, her stab at orientalism feels slightly condescending and has a nasty taste. The costume is lovely though, must have cost a packet.

 

[lileychristie]

Nastya's spins are kinda painful to watch

 

[RafaelAstro]

IMO she was a little bit overscored, but I'm glad they didn’t give her credit for her combo and placed her in second place, rightfully

 

[reneerose]

I don't think Alysa's short program had enough life from last season. I think it's okay to keep. Is her free program different? She did seem very teary and I don't know if it's because she had high expectations for her skate today.

 

[Kris135]

Good skate. Please Johnny and Tara stop arguing please.

 

[Jeanie19]

Anastasiia. Good outfit and program. Good skate.
