2013 Worlds Ladies FS

[parma]

Yuna saved this otherwise a disgraceful event. Enough said.

Does it mean Russia will have only 2 Sochi spots?

 

[guanchi]

True. He will have a Schuba like legacy. Probably one that ushered in wholesale rule changes with a set of disgraceful wins. Although she is far more legit than him as atleast she excelled at one aspect of the sport that was the most important for over 100 years.

Oh man, that is harsh, though I get your point.

You wouldn't believe it. She was holding her nose for a minute. Blood on kleenex. Blood on her hand. I was like, crap crap crap. This headcase is going to explode.
The Brits were like, oh mother, FML, that kind of things.
The audience did a small little clap. People were getting nervous. I think they think she's going to blow her brain out and ruin Osmond's chance.
Then, she did a pow wow with her coach. Then the Brits said tension can help stopping the nose bleed.
Then she skated around the ring with her hand pressed up her nose.
I was leaking!

Then she got into her opening pose. Looked calm down. I wish I was as calm. Then she landed the 3Lutz. Then I peed my pants.

Definitely better than my recap.

Kostner's skate. For those who want to see what happened.

Ksenia Makarova maybe isn't looking so bad anymore. And whatever happened to sink Alena Leonova's ship so quickly over the course of one year?!

Disgraceful? Are you kidding me? We definitely weren't watching the same ladies' event.

Yes

Does it mean Russia will have only 2 Sochi spots?

Yes. Nats next year will be a bloodbath.

Are they dating ? (have heard this rumor). What a Great WC! Had to watch like a felon stealing things- but enjoyed it so much! (threespotsthreespotsthreespots!!!) Thank you GOLDEN SKATE- you were amazing!

So it's cute the lovebirds did so well!

 

[Tanja90]

anybody got links yet? is the latvian still working?

why didn't she stick some tissue in her nose to block the blood flow.

maybe because it's really difficult if not impossible to skate if you cannot breath with your nose..

 

[Riemann]

73.61 for Kim's PCS in the FS. That's the highest PCS for a lady ever, isn't it?

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Does it mean Russia will have only 2 Sochi spots?

Yes

 

[FlattFan]

We don't always see eye to eye, FlattFan, but wanted to let you know this literally made me laugh out loud.

Well, I hope my cleaning lady will be equally amused when she has to steam the coach on Monday.

 

[Ziggy]

There was one jump in the Kim slo-mo which was cheated around 1/4 (I guess a little less since not downgraded, or maybe panel missed it). But they only showed it from the waist up. Anybody knows which one this was? My best on the solo salchow.

ETA: Ah nah not salchow, that was ok. Based on how her body is moving, it was the solo lutz.

 

[tulosai]

Does it mean Russia will have only 2 Sochi spots?

Yuppers

 

[guanchi]

This was the most underwhelming performance from Yuna I remember seeing. Great jumps but the program was meh. She deserves better choreography.

Recycle Homage?

 

[koatcue]

This post. Your honesty. I love it.

I'm pretty thrilled by the results of this competition.

But in terms of being slightly nationalistic... Zijun makes me so, so proud to be (ethnically) Chinese! Her FS was beautiful!!

Zijun underperformed all year but I always thought she had a HUGE potential! and that's at 16 years of age! amazing!

 

[Blades of Passion]

This was the most underwhelming performance from Yuna I remember seeing. Great jumps but the program was meh. She deserves better choreography.

The nuances of the program came out really well for me this time. I enjoyed it a lot, whereas her "flawless" performance of it at Korean Nationals was flat for me. When you skate with such perfect flow and speed like she did, though, that always helps things too. So good.

That is completely and utterly adorable.
