2014 Cup of China Ladies Free Skate 11/08

[blue_idealist]

Wow Lipnitskaia is really out of it. She isn't even attempting Lutz at all anymore. Guess her time in the sport is ending sooner than expected.

Doesn't necessarily mean her time in the sport is over. It was just a rough skate.

At least he couldn't say Julia was a "Good Girl".

 

[Pamigena]

can I get a giant "what the...???" from all around?

 

[gibbynka]

What is happening? I hope she isn't hurt!

 

[Alchamei]

Are you even sure Julia will be on the podium?

 

[MasterB]

WOW, that was painful to watch, Julia.

 

[Naya]

Oh no Julia

[AprilS]

What happened with Julia? Super sad for her, but so happy for Liza!

Edit: but seriously, what's going on? Is she hurt?

 

[satine]

I'm in shock...

 

[zamboni step]

....and Liza just won!

No she didn't, I did, for sitting through this whole ratchet event. Give me my medal.

 

[Mirunna]

Julia needs to learn to keep it togehter.
Also, all the improvements we saw from her last year were completely gone today.
She went through motions, 0 expresivity and all.

 

[sunnystars]

I'm in shock...

me too

and sad as well

 

[tulosai]

What is happening? I hope she isn't hurt!

This more than anything.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

In shock.

That was a disaster. Polina E's going to get onto the podium comfortably.

But, with more practice, that routine has the potential of being VERY competitive.

All the best for the rest of the season.

[Sam-Skwantch]
