Where's the link to the results page?
This is the way they do it. Either they split pairs and men groups, or they split pairs and dance. Because more people come to the afternoon sessions, and they get to see the "better half."
... But there are no people coming this time. No need to split them.
Also NBC won’t show all the ladies. They will show the final 2-3 groups.
I wonder if Terry/Johnny/Tara will be casting remotely like they did with SkAm.

I am so heartbroken be to writing this but I am having to withdraw from the 2021 U.S. Figure Skating Championships due to a surprising positive COVID-19 test. I am feeling well and I want to wish all of the competitors best of luck this week! Stay healthy and see you all next season!
I saw a pic of Tara, Johnny and Terry together today on social media. The post implied that they are already there and working but it could have been an old pic.

Paige Rydberg just withdrew due to a positive Covid test. It's on her instagram. Was she in practice today? Will this impact the other Ladies?
Arggghhhhhh......... so sorry for her.....( if I understand you, Paige arrived in Vegas and got a test in the arena and got a wrist band. She then went to her room and waited X hours for the test results??? Having been there, it seems kind of odd as she was in the bubble while positive. And of course she COULD have been shedding virus on the aircraft, if she took one. Hopefully, she wore a quality mask in the bubble and on the aircraft.....I feel 99.99999% sure that Paige would not have been at practice today.
The rules are that skaters are tested upon first arrival at Orleans Arena (as part of the USFS safety protocols, the hotel check-in process takes place at the arena -- not at the normal front desk of the hotel).
At that time they receive only a wristband (not an event credential), and then they must quarantine in their hotel room until their COVID test comes back negative.
(During the period of quarantine, meals are delivered to their hotel rooms.)
Skaters do not receive their event credentials until after the test comes back negative.
A positive COVID test would mean that a skater would not be allowed to officially enter the bubble. The person would have no access to the rink for practice or for any other reason.
(Apologies that I originally had posted a link to Paige's Insta announcement before seeing that it already was in the post from Ross74.)

She and her nice mom must be devastated...sat with them at the FOFS Breakfast in Greensboro 2015.....
On IG they appear to be there in personI wonder if Terry/Johnny/Tara will be casting remotely like they did with SkAm.
Things have really changed for TV. It can get quite annoying.I think I am having false memories. I havent been to nats in a couple of years but I went every year before that back to 2007, IIRc. I dont remember much splitting, except for the 2010 Oly year in Spokane when they really went screwy.
Good luck with video. I’d kill someone for just a verbal update. Is Gracie landing her triple triple?Does anyone have videos of the unofficial practices today?'
USFS has an arrangement for expedited PCR testing -- with results expected to come back the next day. Depending on what time of day the skater takes the test, the quarantine period for some skaters seems to be far less than 24 hours (and closer to 12 hours).
I’m always sad when they work so hard all year and have to withdraw.I feel so sorry for Paige. The only time I've seen her was at Skate America and I was impressed with her. Was looking forward to see her again.
