2023 Cranberry Open and Cranberry Cup International August 9-13

[kirkbiggestfan]

Carillo. Felt on 4T, 3Astep out, 3Lz-3T tight. Sexy back, odd change of music. Not in top shape yet but moves like nobody else. 68.68

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Chiu, 4T under 2 hands on the ice 2T, 3A, 3Lz. Light on his feet. Upper body all over the place. 72.33

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Annis, 4T, 3A, 3Lz-3T. Landings were all a bit tight. Typical slow emo music. 74.31

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Broussard. Fall on Rippon 4T, popped Axel, 3Lz-3T tight. Too bad he landed the quad and axel in the warmup. An artiste dancing to every note of music. My favorite by far. The type of amazing skater that grabs you. Now, do not pick everybody cries for music!!! 60.38

 

[Wyliefan]

Thanks so much for the PBP, @kirkbiggestfan!

Oh, c’mon Lucas! Such a gorgeous skater, now trying his best to gain Ultra-C Quads and such. I love his basics…I wish that elite skating could find a way to welcome him & lovely female skaters like Sonja and Wren Warne or Kaiya Ruiter….”Best Basic Skater” categories?

Not sure I'd include Kaiya Ruiter in that group, but YMMV.

Well, at least Elyce managed to earn the Worlds TES mins here, in both programs. Now for her to focus on her JGP!

 

[Karen-W]

Thorngren - 199.16 total, 132.73 in the FS, with 70.15 in TES - not terrible, by any stretch, though there's room for improvement.

Hmm. Well, Ava usually peaks at the very beginning of the season, which is not ideal. Maybe this time she'll peak later. Still gets the silver medal!

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh, I meant to ask, @kirkbiggestfan, what was Lindsay's music?

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Lautowa fist pumping and thrilled. Damn, she’s scary

 

[Karen-W]

Hmm. Well, Ava usually peaks at the very beginning of the season, which is not ideal. Maybe this time she'll peak later. Still gets the silver medal!

We'll have to see... I do agree with @Frau Muller that she's put a firm stamp on that SkAm TBD spot. I can't see any good rationale for giving it to Gracie one last time, and neither Seo nor Hilmer proved they deserve it here.

Lindsay - 3Lz+3Lo< and 2A+3Tq were the only rotation calls.
Ava - 3F+3T<, 3Sq, 3F! were the jump rotation/edge calls.
Kaiya - 3Lz!+3Tq, 3F<+1Eu+3S<, 3Lz!< - eeek, needs to work on that Lutz edge and her rotations.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Oh, I meant to ask, @kirkbiggestfan, what was Lindsay's music?

A Christina Aguilera song. Not one of her hits. I actually wasn’t expecting it after the slow piano intro.

 

[Wyliefan]

Lindsay and Ava both skated to Aguilera??
