Skate Canada 2012 Ladies - Short Program

[tae04]

Is Zhang no longer attempting 3loop-3loop?

[Macassar88]

I think for sure she will. Barring a true shock neither Ksenia or Amelie has any hope of scoring above her IMO.

Ksenia usually has good short programs but bombs the long - it's not out of the realm of possibility. Ksenia also has a really nice SP.

HUGE PCS for Osmond...I thought Liza and Gracie were much better(((

Well, this IS CANADA. It can't be helped.

Too bad about Liza. I really enjoyed her last year and was hoping puberty/growing pains wouldn't be too hard on her. I'm not sure the program is suitable for her either. Dress is quite nice though.

I agree. I think Liza would do much better with more energetic, dynamic pieces of music than that sleepy muzak Love Story stuff.

I don't agree that Liza lacks emotions...it's not all about smiling...it's feeling the music...I did like the way she did it. I fear that Liza and Gracie have lost their chances to make GPF

[wallylutz]

Amelie looks over the top...

[Macassar88]

I agree. I think Liza would do much better with more energetic, dynamic pieces of music than that sleepy muzak Love Story stuff.

I hope that she tries working with Lori Nichol at least once - lori would know how to get Liza's PCS up really high.

Osmond will win skate Canada !
unless she bombs, 2-3rd podium still up for grabs

And it irritates me>< It'd better be Gracie...

[Rachmaninoff]

Skating isn't really that popular anywhere anymore, I guess.

And wow, I didn't think Osmond was gifted at all. Some of the other skaters are capable of topping that PCS score, but they didn't bring it today.

Oh, Lacoste just fell. What a surprise.

the splatfest continues...

The difference in TES was significant. Monko & Khaliavin got 25.50 and Starygina & Volobuiev got 29.80. I was hoping for M&K to have improved since I saw them at the russian test skates.

Akiko looks great and her dress is amazing.

Monko&Khaliavin are probably hopeless, S/V have improved alot they will soon pretty much beat them in PCS too

[Lucky Star]

I hope that she tries working with Lori Nichol at least once - lori would know how to get Liza's PCS up really high.

When I remeber the programs Nichol made for Mirai Nagasu last year and the year before... well, I'm not so sure about that

[gioccia]

I agree. I think Liza would do much better with more energetic, dynamic pieces of music than that sleepy muzak Love Story stuff.

I think skaters should show their ability to skate to all kinds of music. Though I agree I like her energetic programs more.

Hoping Akiko pulls out a win.

Lacoste bores me. I know that's not the nicest to say but I've actually stopped watching her.
