2014 NHK Trophy Ladies Free Skate 11/29

[Sam-Skwantch]

Satoko covering her face

 

[Cyn]

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

Riona's PCS was ridiculously overmarked.

 

[taltaltel]

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

I thought literally everyone who skated before her interpreted their program better

 

[andyjo24]

Riona's PCS was ridiculously overmarked.

I agree. All I remember her do was jump, jump, jump. Boring program and completely forgettable. How she got a higher PCS score than Polina is confusing...

 

[peg]

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

I don't agree with either Riona or Gabi getting higher PCS than Polina

 

[chezzu]

So, so nervous for my favorite Kanako! Go Kanako! Actually, go everyone in this group! Please slay!

 

[elee63]

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

Question: Are leg wraps considered messy because it implies that the air position isn't as tight as it should/could be?

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Riona's PCS was ridiculously overmarked.

Yeah, and I don't think Gabi should have outscored Polina on PCS either. hwell:

 

[Sandpiper]

Daleman and Kato were a little overscored on PCS (though frankly, I'm not sold on Polina's LP either). But what ultimately knocked Polina out was her flip edge (judging by the TES) and her SP.

Riona's PCS was ridiculously overmarked.

no, Polina was undermarked.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Not a criticism of Gabi, but the end of her routine put a thought into my head.

You know the way you can get a deduction if your skating over-runs your music.

Well, what happens if you finish significantly earlier than your music? Do you get a reduction for that too?

(Gabi only finished a wee bit earlier than the music).

[dress]

I love Alena's dress

 

[andyjo24]

no, Polina was undermarked.

Polina was undermarked, and Riona was overmarked. Riona should have received ~50 for PCS. There was zero connection with the music.

 

[wordsworthgirl]

I don't agree with either Riona or Gabi getting higher PCS than Polina

I agree. Polina was grossly undermarked tonight. I hope she doesn't get discouraged by this.

I believe the rule is +/- 10 seconds of 4 minutes . So as long as she finishes within that range, she should be fine.

 

[chezzu]

This group is so exciting I am so nervous for all of them

 

[firal]

Do I remember correctly they mentioned Li Zujin grew quite a bit since last season? She looks extra tall and skinny today on my monitor right now.

CaroLiza_fan

I thought there was a deduction if you finished ahead of your music but I guess Gabi didn't get one.

 

[elee63]

I'm sorry, I seemed to have missed something; What is so wrong with traditional if done right?

 

[satine]

PCS has 5 factors, not just interpretation. I don't agree with the PCS placements either, but just throwing that out there.
