Tanaka AND Miyahara? Count me in. I don’t need a lot of sleep, right?

 

[Rukia]

Grassl once again proving he's a decent skater if he didn't have to jump

 

[Debbie S]

Miura should bring back Beauty and the Beast for the rest of the season. It would be a crowd favorite at Worlds.

 

[Wyliefan]

Is that a new gala number for CPom? I like it, but it looked a little new and hesitant. Needs more connection.

 

[Rukia]

Is that a new gala number got CPom? I like it, but it looked a little new and hesitant. Needs more connection.

I don't know if it was? The last gala they did this season they just did their rd in practice gear. A lot of this choreo looked like Perfume though, so I think they sawed that up to reuse.

 

[YukiNieve]

Medalists for the Beijing OLP are all here!
Ans Shoma is here, too!

 

[Rukia]

they're wearing their Olympic costumes too how cute

 

[tangerine dream]

In their Beijing costumes! Congrats Team Japan!!!

 

[Wyliefan]

What a nice little celebration for them!

 

[Rukia]

lol at everyone holding hands they are cuties

 

[tangerine dream]

lol at Chris thinking Shoma was going to sing

 

[Debbie S]

I wish USFS had done this at SA for the U.S. team. Maybe at Nats or Worlds?

 

[Aceon6]

For me, the highlight in the first half was Yuna. Absolutely exquisite musicality. I’m going to rewind and watch her again.

Miura should bring back Beauty and the Beast for the rest of the season. It would be a crowd favorite at Worlds.

Boston already saw it close up in Norwood. I don’t think we need it again.

Same. I think I’m becoming a stan. She has such a genuine love of performance. Just a joy to watch. She feeds a bit of Michelle Kwan nostalgia in me.

 

[YukiNieve]

I wish USFS had done this at SA for the U.S. team. Maybe at Nats or Worlds?

I thought the same thing! I hope that Team USA will get together at the US Nats!

 

[Debbie S]

Boston already saw it close up in Norwood. I don’t think we need it again.

Well, I saw it in Norwood and wouldn't mind seeing it again. It got a good crowd reaction, IIRC. And not everyone at Worlds will have been at 22 SA.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Miura needs to heal.

 

[Wyliefan]

The flower basket was maybe a little on the nose, but that was a lovely, effervescent skate from Mone.

 

[Wyliefan]

Satoko ... I'm in tears. Literally. There's no one else like her.

 

[tangerine dream]

There's something about having the Georgians follow Yuma.

 

[Aceon6]

G’nite all.

 

[YukiNieve]

Wanted to know what Georgian pair and American pair are giving away to fans.(Alysa said "I want one")

They just announced that 2025 NHK Trophy will be held in Osaka!

BTW Alysa was not prepared for exhibition and borrowed Lindsay's dress.

 

[tangerine dream]

BTW Alysa was not prepared for exhibition and borrowed Lindsay's dress.

Lol that seems to be the norm for Alysa.

[Aceon6]

That may be a superstition now. No ex costume = finish high enough to get invited.

 

[mtnskater]

Really enjoyed the exhibition!!

My favorite performances were Alysa Liu, Chock & Bates and Satoko Miyahara. All three so beautiful. Tearing up and took my breath away. Satoko was in a league of her own. That program was theater on ice…so emotional and stunningly choreographed.

Would love to see USFS honor the U.S. Olympic Gold Medal Figure skating team at Nationals or Worlds in the way Japan honored its silver medal winning team at the NHK Gala.

The Georgians exhibition was really cute.
