2023 Grand Prix de France Women's Short Program

[lariko]

Go, Levito! Snake away!

 

[elektra blue]

Also it's Just the start of the season. If you're not new to the sport you should know judged give "low" marks to almost anyone at this point, to raise them as the season progress

 

[momrk]

Clean skate please!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I love that slide transition out of the combo
A great skate from Isabeau

Gosh, Levito's flex is so fun. About the only thing I got right so far in my predictions, lol.

 

[Paulipau]

After Hae in Isabeau's stsq looks much worse...

 

[Skating91]

Are they going to call the 3T under and the flat lutz?

 

[YuBluByMe]

I still hate Levito’s program and its ignit choreography, but this was better than Skate America. She definitely still needs more speed, especially in the step sequence.

 

[momrk]

Good job Isabeau!

 

[yuumagical]

Ah yes, "Snakes in a Rink," the long-awaited sequel to "Snakes on a Plane"

Why am I not surprised by that score...?

 

[Princessroja]

I adore Isabeau but I'm not sure about that high of a score.

2nd-4th are so tight... we'll see what happens in the free.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

This segment left me underwhelmed. I liked the programs for Lea, Janna, and Kimmy (never mind the jump problems), and of course Wakaba's skating.
Hoping for some redemption skates in the free.

But if you want to complain about Levito being overscored again I'm with you.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

It simply wasn’t very good outside the jumps. Other girls weren’t clean, but definitely topped her in composition. Her program was empty and had lots of copy and paste armography.

Lee was better, for instance, despite the rotation on the jumps.

I agree, but It was still looking better than Kimmi's CO today. For me personally, Wakaba's CO was as empty as this was, but probably speed matters a lot for the judging.

 

[lileychristie]

Well, the judges obviously didn't. 6th in the rankings in CO score so far

It simply wasn’t very good outside the jumps. Other girls weren’t clean, but definitely topped her in composition. Her program was empty and had lots of copy and paste armography.

Lee was better, for instance, despite the rotation on the jumps.

While I do like the armography and the music for Nastya, I do think that program could have more moves and steps in between the elements. So I tend to agree with YuBluByMe that many skaters tonight had better composition than her.

 

[elektra blue]

Well, then I guess we can cancel the cactus thing as well because comparing the males to stingy, shrivelled cacti isn't particularly complimentary either, is it?

No man has ever been related to this particular plant in this way, o to any other. Men too have had their fair share of reverse sexism (like when they have to be "masculine" no matter what. Like when they can't express their feeling to not be deemed as not men enough or worse gay. Etc.) Also we refer to a non consistent skater as a cactus regardless of the gender, so don't make comparison that don't have reason to exist only because you got triggered by the Word sexist

 

[YuBluByMe]

This was an underwhelming event. Levito should be in first, but her score should be about four points lower.

 

[Paulipau]

What? It was fully rotated. After the farce of the first two stages?

Watch slowmo, it was >>

 

[Baron Vladimir]

This is an example for good CO, at least for me (even i didn't enjoy it that much personally)
