2014 Cup of China Ladies Free Skate 11/08

[begin]

Oh laaaawd. I was feeling heartbroken for her until that score came up.

 

[cooper]

lol.. and people are annoyed because of the non stop whining about the judging.. well.. this is a proof why this sport is a joke..

 

[tulosai]

I don't like Eteri's look at all. Julia needs a coach now, not an executioner.

She seemed okay in the K&C I thought. I think they were both surprised. She was patting Julia's knee and looked sympathetic.

Either way Eteri clearly knows how to deal with Julia. This is literally her first disaster skate since going to her.

I like Julia a lot. But, no way should that performance have got her 2nd overall.

On the flip side, this is going to do my Predictions Game score a LOT of good!

That's not fair to the skaters who did their best
Yulia's TES is lower than Kim, devastating...
This is so painful to watch

 

[zamboni step]

It wasn't just a rough skate. Her wonky technique is catching up to her maturing body.

She didn't even attempt a Lutz in this competition. That is a big problem and a clear sign.

Oh she attempted one all right...it's just it looked kind of like my lutz...

 

[mirai4life]

Wow way too generous, I swear the most I thought she could achieve was bronze with that skate...

i was looking at the score she needed for third.

 

[figureskateobasan]

What is happeninggg.......

 

[OS]

Heh that is why 9 points difference in SP with only 3T3T is too big! A complete melt down makes absolutely no difference.

Good on you Liza...

 

[satine]

I agree that I don't think she deserved silver here, but if you think so then PLEASE don't direct any bad feelings towards her, direct it at the judges. Just a forewarning, because I don't want to see this turn into a Julia bashfest, which isn't fair to her..

WTH are you talking about?

 

[tulosai]

Kanako and Polina were kind of robbed? I mean that was a completly melt down we saw from Julia, like never before.
Thank God Liza skated here, I cannot express how delighted I am to see her skate like this. She is the revelation of the season and I love to see her so happy!

Polina was 20 points in the hole after the SP. She was not robbed.

Kanako is another story.

And KanUUUKo from team KOREA.

 

[gravy]

Then stop watching.

Non-sequitur:

Disappointing score for Julia (overscored). But I am THRILLED for Tuk! She is back!

 

[juuryokunashi]

Liza deserved first, but Kana deserved that silver...

(Edited to omit Polina, yes she rose up the ranks but not nearly enough, tbqh)

 

[starlight97]

Just like Elizaveta's and Sotnikova's careers were over last season ?
Well let's take a look at what Adelina did and where Liza stands. And I'm referring to 'top of the podium here'

I'm happy for Liza but of course worried about Yulia. I really really hope she will make a statement at the press conference, I would love to know what was up here :think:

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Oh she attempted one all right...it's just it looked kind of like my lutz...

Ugh...she will probably never take an extra two months off from skating again. She better get it together and fast!! The judges remember things like this.

 

[andyjo24]

LOL 61 for PCS for that skate? Park skated a way better R&J and only scored 54 for PCS.

 

[Snow63]

At K&C after FP:

Etery: you're second...
Yulia: it's a nightmare.

Congratulations russian girls with gold and silver medals here, and congrats Kanako with bronze.
