2025 U S.Nationals Senior Women's Short Program

[yelyoh]

Just once I’d like Ben’s partner to introduce herself first, and then mention Ben’s credentials—Olympic silver, etc

Nothing to sneeze at!

Yup Ben and Tanith started the current trend of elite ice dancers.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Go Lee!

When do people get time to pee and eat?

Jerky and catheters.

Ashley bought the unabridged Oxford Dictionary of English Cliches and is determined to use every single one by the end of Nationals. (I love you, Ashley, but you aren't Charles Dickens getting paid by the word.)

 

[auser]

I like Ashley so much but I wish she would dial it back a bit. She sounds like me when I've ODed on sugar.

Yes. It is no wonder she excelled as an athlete. She seems to have indefatigable wind power,

Yup Ben and Tanith started the current trend of elite ice dancers.

That too. Real trailblazers for North American ice dance, along with Bourne & Kraatz. We owe them a debt of gratitude

 

[yelyoh]

Go Ting!!

It seems that a male technical specialist called Makoto Hazuki is commentating on the Japanese stream. There's also a woman commentating, but I didn't catch her name. It's a few minutes behind Peacock for sure, they're still showing the first warmup group.

Jerky and catheters.

Ewww...I can't ever travel for skating then

 

[jgg220]

Jerky and catheters.

My two desert island items!!!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh Ting hopefully the free will go better

Ting. Pretty black dress. A really nice program. Some mistakes, but she's lovely.

 

[yelyoh]

Ting has not looked this good for awhile. Despite the mistakes. Confidence girl, confidence. She will be back.

I think it's funny how Ben keeps introducing the commentating team like "I'm just nobody Ben Agosto commentating with this accomplished skater." Gracie and Ashley have credentials, but he's pretty amazing himself!

For real! Agosto’s resume outshines both Gold and Wagner by a lot!

 

[Princessroja]

Okay, we're going to try this whole "both kids asleep and I can watch figure skating in peace" thing. I think last night I got about ten minutes in and the baby woke up. Fingers crossed for longer tonight so I can watch and hang out on the forums.

I won't pay $7.25 for a single diet coke so I sit and dehydrate in my seat. Don't need to pee much. If you manage to get invited into a suite, which I have been, they have private bathrooms.

 

[Jeanie19]

Alina. Pretty blue dress. Nice program. Great 2A and a cartwheel.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Well done Alina some hick ups but otherwise a strong debut

Don't like drop tanks?
