2023 U.S. Nationals Jr. Pairs Short Program

[moonvine]

I have so few stuffies this year. I had to leave behind 2 giant contractor bags full that @Seven Sisters observed could be used to hide a dead body. But I swear, nothing but stuffies.

Hi @moonvine and @CoyoteChris. Hope you are both having a great time. Looking forward to reading more of your live on site observations/impressions.

You know you can’t shut me up!

Nice opening skate for Naomi & Lachlan. They both look thrilled.

Delis and Schwab scared me so bad! Thought she had a bloody mouth but it was just her libstick!

There's something very exciting to me about a program set to Pink Floyd. The music brings back heady memories of wine spritzers, boys who smoked oregano, and staying out past 9:30.

Nice extension from Liliana in her spiral and lifts.

Nice characters for Rivers & Rensing

Thank you all for being so supportive of the junior pairs. Particularly those of you watching live in the arena.

From my point of view, they deserve our un-ironic support.

Gotta start somewhere

Flores & Wang - she reminds me of Gaby Daleman. Ooh scary twist, but much better on the throw and lift. She calls their elements. Really nice split jumps in the footwork. Lots of potential here.

I love this music, partially because I still remember Anastasia Galustyan's ethereal SP to it from the 2015-16 season. Strong ending to a short but interesting event to kick off Nationals.

Flores and Wang eneded yhr competition on a high note!

 

[auser]

Flores/Wang look like a promising team. Some bobbles but lovely overall.

I liked Flores and Wang best but those spins... think the PCS should have been higher.

Yay for Ellie and Timmy. Told y’all! Just told him my throwing was not up to snuff (as he walked by.). I continue to maintain that given the right parter he is the next big US pairs guy.

Of course! When I went to list out my favorites I was surprised to see that there were as many or more juniors I wanted to see as seniors. And I don’t follow juniors closely at all. Except women, which I barely even follow in seniors. Next year there will be a lot more stuffies though.

Interesting to see Columbus confirmed. That is less than a day's drive from MO, right? A car full of stuffs

8 short hours! Some of these poor stuffies have been in my garage for 3 years just waiting to be picked. Going to try to throw some HUGE ones next year. I realize they will probably be discarded but they’ve been taking up room in the garage since before Covid. Going to specifically seek out smalls.

I am still not convinced that the bags shown on the photo @moonvine sent me did not in fact contain the dead body of some enemy of hers—which would probably be someone who might have spoken ill of her beloved Gracie
