No flags for picture taking?

TBH Liza was underscored for her 3A in the SP. -1 from some judges, give me a break...

Definitely!

Also Liza has a paper crown on now, all your arguments are invalid

 

[sk8ath]

Mako got a better PCS in FS than Liza (which I think is fair but the gap should be larger)

 

[Noxchild]

Rod Black had to do his essay. :reye:

Hey, did you know that this is a year of transitions and rebuilding for Canadian figure skating? I had NO idea

 

[moriel]

ouch, a ! and a e for Zhenya
Still not convinced that 2 lutzes in FS is a good strategy

 

[frida80]

Aw! Liza puts on her crown for photos!

 

[anonymoose_au]

She was way overcompensated with her pcs. Give me a break.

To be honest I have no idea what you're going on about, Liza had a program, it might not have been YOUR cup of tea, but it WAS a program. It had a step sequence, it involved skill.

You're acting like she went out there and did NOTHING but jump. She might not have the best skating skills out there, but they are better than a 6.

I would not have known if Rod Black hadn't told me...

Everything I know about skating I learned from Rod.

Wakaba had problems with her edge jump again...
I somehow hope her team will ditch her flip in SP but I realize a flip with edge call maybe a better choice in SP than a popped edge jump

 

[katymay]

There was no program. Or SS.

No, it is sort of like she is making it up as she goes along. And spots are so sloppy.

For me, Mako was the program of the night.

 

[GGFan]

I guess I'll take away the positives: I'm shocked Mako got decent PCS. Well deserved. Usually they would have made her wait. :dance:

 

[moriel]

Congrats to all 3 girls
Liza for dat 3A
Mako for amazing FS
Zhenya for the great comeback

I love how unpredictable this season is so far! These past seasons i did not bother to stream competitions live cause most of the time it was so easy to guess who would win. This season so far is really exciting! :agree: i missed that

Evgenia. What more can I say... Love the dress, she won the free, she proved that she can skate a tango, she has nerves of steel. she won the bronze medal.

 

[blue_idealist]

I'm happy that Liza won but I noticed she is so slooooow compared to Evgenia (and a lot of the other ladies, too).

 

[Sabrina]

What's the meaning of the V at the end of a spin initials? Evgenia had this V for her last 2 spins which were both level3. I've seen that V on and off, but I don't get it.

A little story from Peas to you guys: When I was 16-7 I really wanted to have Ekaterina Gordeeva as my Russian best friend. It was '88 so the cold war and all but I still thought she was the sweetest and most wonderful skater I had ever seen. I think if I was 18 now I would want Liza to be my Russian best friend. I'd probably be a try hard and get her to tweet me back or something.

She didn't get two revs in one of the basic positions. I'll have to go back and figure out what she missed.

 

[frida80]

I like this medal ceremony from Canada. The podiums, lighting, presenters, etc. it's very sophisticated. I'm pretty enthusiastic for the GPF.

Agree that Liza's SP GOEs were underscored, not just 3A but all jumps. Liza has huge jumps with great technique, but so does Mako; I'd say in the FS her jumps were on par with Liza's best. Mako's GOEs I believe were underscored; 2's and 3's are too little for those jumps. I think she should have won.
