2024 US Nats Sr Pairs SP Howe Many Splats Chan We Get

[rfisher]

If he's Elvis, is she supposed to be invisible? Judges are being very generous with scores.

 

[Amy L]

This is what Spencer's shirt reminds me of.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Why does this version of Fever sound like I'm going to be murdered while Elvis plays in the background?

"Make me hot elvis, but not too hot it's unfair to others"

-Spencer to his costumer probably

 

[skatingguy]

Are Alexis and Brandon texting right now and asking what music they should use next season?

The USFS would give them a practice time this week if they asked.

 

[just tuned in]

Ucch. Cheesy and awful. What is this "music?"

 

[flyingsit]

The most boring Elvis music edit ever.

 

[Rukia]

Alexa said she's not even practicing jumps right now she's not wanting to compete lol

 

[Karen-W]

Chan/Howe - decent 3tw, SBS 3t - clean!!!!! Hand down on the throw but that's better than falling. Good on the lift if a bit slow. Great spins to end! This better lead!!!!

 

[BittyBug]

Phew!

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

Well there's the SP winner.

 

[Coco]

She put a lot of weight on her arm/shoulder in that throw jump landing. Ouch.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Program debut at Nationals has to be really stressful along with the injury. Very happy they did as well as they did.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Gonna try to take a half an hour nap right now. LOL

 

[airgelaal]

not bad for a first competition

 

[sk8nlizard]

Alexa said she's not even practicing jumps right now she's not wanting to compete lol

I’m sure she could manage a double sal or double toe and a couple single axels…they’d still be first.

The throw 3 loop looked so rushed, and the lift was SLOOOWWWW. Though, given the injury and lack of training, that looked good. Chan & Howe are easily the best US Pair team right now. I really hope they can stay injury free and start building more and more momentum going into the next Olympics.

 

[genevieve]

That may be my favorite non-cheesy Elvis program. Good music choses and great edit.

The downside is that the huge collar doesn't make sense.

 

[PRlady]

Certainly the best performance quality even with the silly concept. Lift was basic but I think they’ll be in first as the best bet at Worlds.

 

[Aceon6]

Whew. More secure than I expected. And I think the throw was on his shoulder as it was an uneven more out rather than a straight up, even throw. Maybe try a different jump where he doesn’t need even push in both arms?

 

[Karen-W]

Yes!!!!! I'm so glad they have the lead. I'd have given them a 66+ but I'll settle for 65.86 - just hope they can make it through the FS.

 

[peibeck]

At least it's campy Elvis, but the whole thing looks severely undercooked.

 

[once_upon]

Alexa said she's not even practicing jumps right now she's not wanting to compete lol

With this group does she need jumps?

 

[skatingguy]

That's like 8 teams with a shot at the podium after the short program.

 

[Rukia]

at least a double in the short to get any points lol

 

[Karen-W]

Yes, definitely it shows just how little training time they have had. But 7 weeks until Worlds, so there is plenty of time to keep honing it.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I just re-watched Isabelle and Ryan, clean on everything and no doubles on anything. Yeah their last side-by-side spin was a bit out of sync but this team should be well over 65 points.

 

[Karen-W]

Ehhhhh... 6 really. I don't think MarBed, DigSad or KoryChap have a chance of cracking the top 4.

 

[Frau Muller]

Total meh event. Elvis tried…

Andrea Joyce interview with Chan/Howe - the lift in the short program was the first one handed lift they've done this week
