2014 Cup of China Ladies Free Skate 11/08

[tulosai]

I sincerely hope Ashley is okay. Painful to watch so I've stopped. I wonder if she is injured or just really nervous or if due to body changes she's just lost her jumps. Very very sad for her.

 

[MasterB]

Poor Ashley, she is a summer competitor. She always skates better programs in summer competitions.

 

[EdgeCall]

A stupid question: how long is the event? I want to know if I cand catch it all, I have work to do in an hour and 15 minutes...

The official plan says it runs ~90mins.

Weak performance from Ashley. No spark, no joy, no grace. The irony when she's skating to "just a little touch of star quality."

Oh that's sad. I didn't know she used to be better. Painful to watch indeed, all the more so if she's been better in the past and someone you rooted for. Sorry, Tulosai! I hope she recovers her form.

Thank you for your answers. I won;t be able to see it all, but I will catch up after work

Seems the splatfest is going to continue. Poor Anne Line. Hoping the other ladies are a bit more lucky.

 

[wordsworthgirl]

Anne Line is BEAUTIFUL. Wow. Not her day, but she sure is pretty and seems really sweet.

 

[tulosai]

Going to stop watching this one too. Really depressing competition so far.

Thank you for your answers. I won;t be able to see it all, but I will catch up after work

Mao88 will come to the rescue with many links, I am sure :agree:

My stream died

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Oh, Nicky! I know you wanted to talk about Sonja Henie, but that was an awful way of linking it in!


Your GP debut may not have gone the way you would have liked, Anne-Line, but you did well considering you are only coming back from injury.

Looking forward to seeing you in action again when you are fitter.

"Good girl" says the ESP commentator, as I .
