2014 NHK Trophy Ladies Free Skate 11/29

[chezzu]

117.51, huge score for Kato!

 

[Sandpiper]

Woah, incredible skate from Kato. Is she going to be the spoiler in everyone's predictions.

It's difficult for her to make the requisite nice lines, but the jumps were there. 'tano actually looks cooler on 3S than it does on 3Lz!

Riona KATO ...................168.38 (FS TES 63.75, PCS 53.76)
Polina EDMUNDS ..............161.79 (FS TES 59.29, PCS 53.54)
Elene GEDEVANISHVILI .....142.96 (FS TES 42.10, PCS 50.68)

[Alchamei]

Huge score for her! 117!

 

[Cyn]

Higher PCS than Polina? Are you (*$%&# kidding me?

 

[Shayuki]

I swear. Elene is getting skinnier every time I see her. She needs to put on some weight....

Hmm yeah, she looks completely different from how she was a year ago. It's a little worrying.

 

[Totentanz]

Aranjuez with vocal is killing me.

 

[Alchamei]

I hope Riona stays in first! Gaby's three jump combo may be invalid.

 

[taltaltel]

I don't see the appeal in Daleman's skating at all... seems really rough and rushed.

 

[Cyn]

Gahhhh....this version of Aranjuez is like a funeral dirge - completely depressing.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

I don't think Riona should have scored higher than Polina on PCS.

Very nice job by Gabrielle. Finished a bit ahead of the music though.

 

[Alchamei]

I don't see the appeal in Daleman's skating at all... seems really rough and rushed.

Yes, I agree. I was thinking the same yesterday.

 

[Krunchii]

Not a fan of leg wraps but I do like Gabrielle's spins, she had a somewhat tolerable A-spin from what I remember

 

[Sandpiper]

Daleman: Big jumps, though in-air position was too loose for me. Great speed and power. Now someone get her a more matching program...

 

[firal]

Bring on the second group! I'm ready!

 

[andyjo24]

Wow. Polina is getting buried a lot.

 

[taltaltel]

Quite overscored IMO...

 

[Krunchii]

Don't agree with Gabrielle gettin higher PCS than Polina but good effort from her

Group 2 takes to the ice!

Daleman: Big jumps, though in-air position was too loose for me. Great speed and power. Now someone get her a more matching program...

Exactly - She has a lot of potential, and she has been working hard to improve her artistry, but this program is not doing anything for her.
