That's what I think too. I just can't see Alysa scoring all that well against, say Valieva, on ANY mark even if she's getting close to the rotations. Valieva looks like Superwoman compared to Alysa's tiny, slow jumps and small skating. What has happened over the summer? Her SKATING looks worse. And who is the choreographer? It looks like a generic pretty princess Lori Nichol program to me. I thought she went to TCC and was being choreographed by David Wilson??? I can't believe he is responsible for this program. Alysa is capable of being dynamic and musical, and this program is just pretty arms here, dainty position there. Whoever choreographed it obviously does not understand Alysa's talent for music and movement....
I’m a fan of Alysa, but I have to agree that she is not currently at Valieva’s level.
I think both of Alysa’s programs this season are choreographed by Lori?
