2014 NHK Trophy Ladies Free Skate 11/29

[Wo|flax]

My gut was telling me leonova; why didnt I listen

 

[Totentanz]

I think she will still win.

 

[Mrs. P]

A fall and no 3-3, but I think she did enough to win by a hair.

 

[firal]

That will be enough for gold I think....

So no home advantage for Japanese girls huh....

 

[mikiandorocks]

Bit of an underwhelming event. I'm hearbroken for Kanako

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Pretty solid skate by Gracie, but I really miss her 'old' jumps. Her jumps are lacking the 'pop', excitement, and security that they used to have. Lovely dress, hair, and make-up, but Grace really did not show interpretation facially at all...

 

[mirai4life]

lol

 

[chezzu]

After yesterday's magnificent SPs I was really expecting a bettter competition for the FS

 

[viennaskater]

Not POTO again - give me strength!

 

[TMC]

So no home advantage for Japanese girls huh....

Yep, not happy that Satoko is behind Alena, but at least nobody can accuse this competition of home cooking

 

[begin]

Japanese skaters don't really get their deserved PCS lol just look at Mao from the past

So... Alena wins this event...?

Mao had tech issues but her PCs never held her down in placements.

Methinks GG will win this.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

What on earth do you mean?

Nobunari Oda is notorious for throwing out 'O' (wide-open mouthed) faced when he skates. Alena did a few 'O' faces in her footwork.

 

[Mrs. P]

Well Gold for Gracie FINALLY, LOL.

64 PCS is kind of insane, but whatever.

And both she and Ashley go to GPF.

 

[taltaltel]

Overscored as well, this FS is such a farce

 

[yuki]

123 for that

 

[mikiandorocks]

Gracie's super cute reaction "I won! I won!"

Am I right, saying that Ashley is in the final?

She's close to 200 lmao. I'm so done with the judging this year.
