2014 Worlds - Ladies Free Skating

[satine]

will you marry me?

Sorry, but it's a little too sudden.

 

[ahy]

who can do this????

she's one of the most lovely skater out there

She didn't even smile just now

 

[OS]

Yikes!!!!! Devastating for Zijun!!!!

 

[TMC]

Max could work this music! But she's great too

 

[zamboni step]

Daleman is a total contrast to Zijun, not much refinement but tons of energy. I'm honestly preferring the wildness, at least it emotes.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Ok, mentally she wasn´t there at all. Mind and body disconected. She didn´t feel the music at ALL. This is making me sad. I lover her...

That was very sad. I really like her to. So much potential. My heart aches.

 

[MaiKatze]

I hope Zijun's performance isn't forshading for Kanako. In my mind they somehow belong together.

 

[satine]

nonono why?? I thought Gabrielle'd be totally clean, she was doing so well

edit: omg am I super ahead again

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Daleman reminds me of our current OGM. Kinda of the same wild approach with very high jumps!

 

[Mista Ekko]

Daleman has potential

She's explosive

Annoying fall though

 

[Jammers]

Daleman very fast but a bit frantic and skating right through the music. Big jumps but she's a bit like Gracie circa 2012.

I'm not sure I know what you mean but I think maybe I do. No I'm confused.

 

[MaiKatze]

The Canadian Ladies are bursting with energy. I love it.

I'm not sure I know what you mean but I think maybe I do. No I'm confused.

Same generation and similar career so far. Did both pretty well at last years Worlds. 4CC podium. I like them both and somehow they are connected in my mind.

Whoa, boy! This ain't a dating site, you know!

Mind you, Frenchie did jokingly suggest us starting up a dating thread on GS after a comment I made during the Pairs SP at Europeans...

I agree (with less impressive spins though), and I liked her a lot - better than Korean girl. Pity she fell.

3Lz - hangs on a bit
2A
3S - big fall

One fall, but otherwise 5 solid triples. She looks very pleased. Great speed across the ice, just needs more polish and control.

FS: 55.77+54.29-1.00 = 109.06 (PB), 164.78 (PB), in 2nd (out of 11)

Me too!!!

 

[Jammers]

She needs a Frank Carroll type of coach to give her polish like he did with Gracie.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Solid skate for Daleman! Nice recovery after that nasty 3S fall.

Also looking forward to seeing Park So Youn's skate (just missed it).

She's a little powerhouse isn't she? Good music choice for her.
