GOOD we can start implementing the new scoring system where they have to submit a written explanation for their scores #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Great top 3: Rinka 🇯🇵 Alysa 🇺🇸 Lara 🇮🇹 #SkateAmerica

Same. So much more character and skating skills seen without Eteri drama and doping

How Alysa Liu has mastered holding the hearts of everyone in an audience is stunning. The crisp running edges, the increase in technical difficulty and the propulsive surge feels different than before. It is the same program, but feels like we are in a different era for her. #gpfigure #skateamerica

Starr Andrews in the mixed zone

🇺🇸 Starr Andrews #SkateAmerica

I felt amazing. I had so much fun today. 
I feel like in the past, I didn't have fun. I was just so stressed about the entire time, but even on the warm up, I talked to, Derek, "This feels a little different.”

Lara Naki Gutman with the arms behind back entrance to camel shows such skating skills. Love the outside the box choreo #SkateAmerica

Rinka nailing a 3A! This will be monster score! #SkateAmerica

Bringing practice dresses back in style

Wow! Starr threw it down! Who runs the world? Starr! #SkateAmerica

Starr said "I think I'm going to learn pairs BUT FIRST-" #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Fun short program from Joey Lee #SkateAmerica

Canadians snag a bronze! Good for them! #SkateAmerica

Great program from Chan/Howe and nailed SBS jumps! Putting up a fight for that Olympic spot! #SkateAmerica

My favorite part of Laurin/ Ethiers 🇨🇦 first music is that it drowned out Johnny & Tara talking.

Ah.

⛸️ Pairs at #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Some spills, but what THRILLS! So great to see Plazas/Fernandez at #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

Flores & Wang just look so happy to be here and it's a shot of sunshine in my wizened heart. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Way to go Flores/Wang!!! Hitting those SBS jumps and sweet lifts! #SkateAmerica

Enjoy Chock/Bates, RD looking stronger here and still the twizzles look really slow to stay in sync. #SkateAmerica

I like sheer animal print suggestion. I was starting to get Garth from Wayne’s World vibes by the end. He’s so vanilla!

The red clashed with her hair!

Daft Punk is one of my fave RDs of this wretched theme this season. Great choreo, it so works for them, they sell it well #SkateAmerica

Czech ice dancers have gotta train amongst speed skaters. Both senior teams are so fast!

Done with Girl Scouts and cross country ready for me time and watching Skate America

Just spotted Tenley Albright and her hair flower in the stands! #SkateAmerica

Way to go Kazuki! Those scores are deserved #SkateAmerica

Truly appreciate Jason Brown’s catch foot spin. He holds so long with so many revs! Lovely seeing a quality spin held through 5-7 revs getting levels without a bajillion changes of position #SkateAmerica

Ok, a change camel that rotates both ways is +5 for me; but skating to Kanye is like -5 C’mon Luc, there’s gotta be a great French artist to skate too

The other way to look at it is that the Georgians maxed out technically while Riku and Ryuichi popped their SBS AND didn’t get full levels on their lift and death spiral and the Georgians still aren’t even 5 points ahead.

The Georgians are being set up to medal, I think, not win

😱

DAMNIT. I need Tara and Johnny to stop taking about Georgia stealing the momentum from the Japanese. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFE SPACE. #gpfigure #skateamerica #figureskating
