Monday Moves
I missed Monday Moves last week due to traveling home from Skate America, but it's back this week! Today's move was one I first saw on YouTube last spring and anxiously awaited seeing in person at Skate America. Adam Rippon's entire Prelude To the Afternoon of a Faun program lived up to my expectations, and I swooned again over this move in particular. It's his back spiral transition into the circular footwork. Gorgeous!!

2013 Skate America Recap
I covered the Friday night events already, so I'll start with the Saturday schedule. The first event on the Saturday docket was the pairs short program. I'd never seen Purdy/Marinaro before and I thought they had an elegant quality to their skating. Their elements are pretty small, but they are very pretty together. Of the American teams, Castelli/Shnapir fared the best, and I thought they gave great energy to their program. I'm still not sold on the music cuts of Denney/Couglin's Tosca progr...

2013 Skate America - Pairs and Ladies SP
Quick post between sessions! I rarely sit through an entire ladies event, but I did for this one and it was enjoyable! Ashley killed it and Mao was simply sublime.
Here are the photos from today!
2013 Skate America-Short Dance & Men SP
Just a few quick thoughts about the men's SP last night... so many WOW programs even with a few jump issues here and there. First, Tatsuki Machida blew me away with his gorgeous jumps and wonderful lyricism in between. I hope he can challenge Hanyu over the course of the season because I prefer his skating to Hanyu's. Both Daisuke Takahashi and Takahiko Kozuka had some jump problems, but the quality of their skating cannot be disputed. Dai floated over the ice in a beautifully lyric program,...
