Ladies - Short Program

[paircheck]

I really feel for her. It must be tough for a 15 year old to deal with the pressure all alone. Whatever she scores or however she skates, this will be a learning experience for her. Yes, she should have added another 2T on the 3Loop and this mistake will cost her badly, but whatever. It was a nice skate considering her situation

... but soo close to tuurkila with a 3T3T comb ...????? maybe not 100% comb ok..

Seems like the Russians are feeling the pressure to establish themselves for Sochi and its not turning out well. I feel bad for these girls...our expectations for Mirai and Caroline seem modest in comparison.

What's wrong with Polina's score? Why was it that low?????????? She didn't do a combo, but... overall the performance was fine.

SVT works! And whee... the Spanish lady is quite speedy today. Like that program.

Nice program from Lafuente!

I fear that Polina is going to miss the LP.

Sheesh LaFuente did not even break 50, I liked her program tho.

Volchkova had no right to leave her student on such a day. She could have come to the competition. Leave her baby with her parents and her husband for 5 days.

What happened to Polina?
Sonia in second place :(

Yeah, that makes sense.

Low? She should be glad she got credit for her flip. You are not allowed to do 2 single jumps in SP, right?

OMG, the spanish supporters and their wigs!

Yeah funny with long yellow and red hair

Did Lafuente have trouble with the levels? She looked pretty good to me.

Next you'll suggest she shouldn't have kids so long as she's coaching. Stuff happens. Skaters, even young ones, sometimes have to compete without their primary coaches. Polina will have to learn to deal with the pressure of competition or she'll never get anywhere.

Or take her baby and her husband/babysitter with her to Nice.
