2014 Skate Canada Ladies FS 11/01

Pogo's racking up the points, to be sure, but her relation to the music leaves a LOT to be desired, especially when compared to Ashley.

this!

 

[gravy]

Pogo on par with her Saitama LP!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

When she is skating, it honestly looks like someone sprayed ketchup and mustard all over her costume...

 

[Crystallize]

Ashley and Anna did great, but Satoko had the skate of the night for me.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Ready for the complaints about pcs

Lol

 

[OS]

Enough for a win... Meh on the program, but she looks cinematic.

 

[NaVi]

Pogo, like Radio, skated their Free Skate better in Japan than in the Grand Prix... though Anna got a higher score this time because she was scored low in Japan.

 

[shiroKJ]

Loved Ashley's presence on the ice....Anna looked messy out there and Satoko was amazing! I would put Ashley first simply because Satoko looks so small on the ice, and Ashley has that maturity to her that's so endearing to me

 

[invisiblespiral]

So Pogo wins?

:thumbsup: I don't like Ashley, but at least she tried hard to sell her program. Anna seemed to only be concerned about checking the boxes. Surprisingly, I enjoyed Anna's FS at JO a lot more.

Her shoulders look so broad with that dress. But really nice jumps, especially that 3Lo

You can say that again......I can't believe her coach or even her Mom hasn't said anything about it. She's a great skater but she looks like a Linebacker in that dress. I don't usually have a problem with costuming as I can chalk it up to style or originality. However, that dress......It's not just the style but, the fit seems to be off in some way. I hope she addresses this after this comp after they see it on TV. If she doesn't change the dress I hope they can at least refit it as it really detracts from an otherwise lovely program and skater.

Anna wins I am so happy for her. Compared with her COC win last year, she has improved so much.

 

[Mrs. P]

So Ashley, as of right now, has the highest SP, FS and Overall score among the U.S. ladies right now....We'll see how Polina does in China!

 

[minze]

World podium prediction Russians Gold-Silver-Bronze

 

[msteach3]

I would have had Ashley first. Anna skated well but had zero connection to the audience and the music. hwell:

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

I'm happy, Satoko won bronze (should have been silver imo) and Anna and Ashley win gold and silver respectively.

 

[Scovies]

Pogo's jumps are great, but I really wish she would engage with the music (and her face! You're gorgeous, girl, make a facial expression!) more. Loved Ashley and Satoko.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

For me FS ranking...

1)Pogo ....why... for good TES
2)Satoko ....why.....PCS
3)Courtney Hicks.....why.....speed-CS
4) Everyone else.....why......MUSIC!!!!!!

I feel the same! The audience felt the same.
