Practice Cam Chat

Heidi popped her first jump into a single, skating with a mask on. Oh man, I am not Jackie Wong-- think her second jump was a salchow combination (?) and this looks like her free she's practicing.

I’m glad she made it to Nationals. She won Collegiates last year (well year before) but not Nationals last year.

Audrey just fell. Better now than later girl!

Audrey Shin up next, practicing SP. Gets the combo done (lutz-toe or flip-toe?) but just barely, then a sudden fall on her double axel, I believe. Triple loop landed fine towards the end.

Bradie looks good. Jackie Wong I am not either.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Bradie Tennell now, practicing SP as well. Spread eagle into 2a, no problem. Triple-triple (Lutz-toe?) looking good too. I was distracted by her using the Charlotte transition Alina Zagitova used to use into her last jump and missed what exactly it was, but it was well landed. Definitely looking better than at Skate America so far!

Violeta I don’t know much about. Singled first jump.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Missed some of Violeta Ushakova's skate but she had a fall, unfortunately.

Dear Iceworks. Please install Gracie cam. I will pay $50 a month.

Yes near the boards.

Way to fight for that landing Starr. Then a two foot.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Starr Andrews starting now, practicing free skate. Great 2a to start, just hung onto the 3t at the end of her first combo, definitely under. Second jump was I believe a loop, also tight on the landing. Only a double salchow... got way off on another (?) loop, think it was a double. Not going well, basically...

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Starr keeps on trying for that triple loop, but it's just not working at the moment.

 

[moonvine]

Noooooo Gracie.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Gracie Gold, cheers from the sidelines. Triple lutz, falls on triple toe but rotates! Another triple (lutz or flip?), just about. Triple loop accomplished! She takes a break, circles back to her coach.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Double axel for Gracie, very nice. Loving how she holds and extends on her choreography, if that makes sense. Triple lutz, double toe. She smiles, briefly!

I saw the smile!!!

Gracie, you have everything, including an actual spiral! You are everything and I will still love you if you single every single jump but for God’s sake go out and skate lights out FOR YOURSELF.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Interesting, Jackie saying he thinks Bradie's combo might've been under.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I think Gracie might've landed her combo wayyy in the background but with this camera so far away it's hard to be sure!

Edit: Jackie Wong confirms!

Starr and Gracie narrowly avoid colliding
