2024 US Nats Womens SP - Qs Will Roll

[rfisher]

Nearly had a heart attack when that spin wobbled, but her skating skills are just #teamIsabeau all the way.

Nice contrast between these two young women - skating style, age, music, body type, everything. I’d give tonight to Isabeau because for me Amber is missing that extra piece of connection with the music, but it should be as close as it is.

 

[Vagabond]

I wonder if that's why Ashley went on a rant about how Isabeau is NOT slow.

And why NBC keeps Ashley and Tara on separate broadcasts.

 

[skatingguy]

Glenn was cautious - Levito's new short really suits her - the mistakes on these spins - why is Levito trying to be Kao Muira?

 

[Spikefan]

Hard to love it when there's an obvious error to close the program, IMO.

Typical USFS rewarding “classic” program even with errors. Never change.

Okay guys. Are there two different feeds, one with Tara and Johnny and one with Adam and Ashley?

Peacock streaming has Adam and Ashley. USA network has Tara, Johnny, and Terry Gannon.

 

[peibeck]

on my screen, the illusion is a little orange on her dress.

Such a beautiful skater but a little wobbly on spins tonight

It's a purple-pink on my tv, which I switched to USA during the final flight. On Peacock it looked all grey.

 

[Spikefan]

Glenn was cautious - Levito's new short really suits her - the mistakes on these spins - why is Levito trying to be Kao Muira?

She clearly wants to win me over as I love Kao.

I’d give tonight to Isabeau because for me Amber is missing that extra piece of connection with the music,

Wait, what? Extra connection to the music? She even goes off with her head to the lyrics off with your head.

 

[Aceon6]

Hmmm. I’m trying to get invested in US women and pick a side, but then I remember Japan, Korea, and Belgium. I’m team Amber, though.

 

[Sally1214]

Congrats to all the skaters for doing something that most of the people on this thread could only ever have dreamt of doing!

Oh goodness, even my wildest dreams never go THAT far!

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

This is the first time I've watched US Nationals in years and this Canuck thinks the US women are back on track.

 

[skatingguy]

Wait, what? Extra connection to the music? She even goes off with her head to the lyrics off with your head.

But her head doesn't actually come off. Where's the artistic integrity?

 

[Vagabond]

This is the first time I've watched US Nationals in years and this Canuck thinks the US women are back on track.

Maybe one day they will be as goid as the Belgians.

 

[honey]

I thought Amber did very well, but I did feel she was tighter than Skate America. She didn’t completely grab me tonight, which is why I am not surprised they went with Isabeau on the PCS. Well that and they likely would have regardless because Isabeau has had a much stronger fall season than Amber and we’re all kidding ourselves if we say that doesn’t matter.

 

[Sally1214]

Well, that was a fun evening. Sure hope there's a link for us Canucks to be able to watch the men's SP tomorrow.
Good night, all.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wonder if Amber will at some point bring the triple axel into the short program

 

[Rukia]

But her head doesn't actually come off. Where's the artistic integrity?

it said the heads will roll but not whose or when maybe the real rolling heads are in our hearts

 

[airgelaal]

+3 for the last spin? That judge needs glasses.

 

[Jarrett]

+3 for the last spin? That judge needs glasses.

She got two +4 for the combo spin too. WTF.

 

[rfisher]

Yeah, that's a great job for you. You've always been known around the figure skating community as someone who supposed skaters with excellent competition nerves!

Ha. Once upon a time Michelle Kwan and Anna Shcherbakova were a basket of nerves, but through mentally skating with them, they became iron maidens with competitive nerves of steel. Isabeau is a work in progress. Brezina was hopeless from the start.

 

[Simone411]

Sorry, y'all. I had to take a break from my wheelchair, but I watched all of it. I sure hate what happened to Starr on her triple triple. I'm proud of her for improvising and adding that double to her other triple.

Okay, I'm like so proud of Amber. Honey, she knocked it out of the ballpark and then some! Anyone that's a friend of mine on FB knows that I have a cover comic strip of Clippy which I made. I know Clippy is so damn happy because Amber is one of his favorite skaters along with Jason Brown and Michelle Kwan!

And Isabeau was fabulous except for the mess up on that spin. She really is like a ballerina.

Now, if Amber does that triple axel and skates like she did tonight, there may be a battle and well worth watching. I know and feel like both will be on that podium, but in what order is the question. This is going to be soooooo totally awesome to watch!

 

[Matryeshka]

I wonder if that's why Ashley went on a rant about how Isabeau is NOT slow.

No, Ashley and Adam have talked about this on the chaos podcast after Skate America. What they've said before is her speed is fast, but she slows considerably going into jumps and her jumps are odd, so the perception is she's slow.

Peacock streaming has Adam and Ashley. USA network has Tara, Johnny, and Terry Gannon.

My cable package does not include USA so I have been watching the Peacock stream. Nothing against Ashley and Adam personally but I am not pleased
with their commentary. They never shut up, babbling incessantly throughout the entire program. That said Amber was fabulous and my favorite program tonight!
I am glad Isabeau changed her SP this one shows off her style much better, very talented young woman!

 

[Matryeshka]

Hmmm. I’m trying to get invested in US women and pick a side, but then I remember Japan, Korea, and Belgium. I’m team Amber, though.

I'm team whoever has the best lore by the end of the thread. I can go either way; I'm polyskaterus.

OK, I will uber Savoie's Mission forever, but this is really great. Love the opening attack. That 1-foot FW across the ice! and the ending glide Really creative program and wonderfully skated. Thanks for sharing it

Awwwwwww I just saw the name of this thread. I feel so honored with the homage to Amber’s song.
