2014 NHK Trophy Ladies Free Skate 11/29

[chezzu]

I'm happy for Gold's first win and Leonova's medal but both were a little overscored for free skate. Sad that Kanako couldn't even medal at home Why is she in a really bad form?

Kana isn't in bad form, just look at her SP. I think the pressure of wanting so badly to go to the GPF got to her.

 

[gmyers]

Not bad for the 105th Russian lady!

 

[andyjo24]

Lol. It's extraordinary how Gold's PCS is over 10 points better than Edmund's for a crappy skate that included a fall.....

 

[Iscariot]

mao, yuna please comeback!! Given the state of the pcs you will get 70 without a problem
Congratulations to gracie but even with the mistakes Satoko was the best

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Why do the ladies threads always turn into toxic waste after the event?

 

[Mrs. P]

Even if you had her PCS match her TES, she would have had enough to win.

With a fall to boot

While gorgeous skaters like Satoko and So Youn can never get PCS like that even with clearly superior presentation.

I agree. Gracie's so overscored on PCS these days...

 

[Mista Ekko]

From the interview Gracie still doesn't know she's in the finals

 

[Krunchii]

Is it just me or does Gracie look really sleepy during her interview? Maybe she'll have a better outing in Barcelona where the time difference isn't so drastic

 

[Totentanz]

Gracie says she can't see her mom in the tribunes.

 

[Meoima]

Mah, Am I the only one who think Gracie really has good skating skill?

Gracie has the biggest name choreographer money can buy!

Lmao. That's what I thought too! Go leonova!

 

[bixby]

64 PCS are you kidding me? Kanako, Satoko and Alena deserved much better PCS for me.

Glad you're not a judge. Are you kidding yourself????????

Mah, Am I the only one who think Gracie really has good skating skill?

No, she really does. Her (lack of) presentation is the issue, not her SS.

 

[Krunchii]

Mah, Am I the only one who think Gracie really has good skating skill?

Nope, her speed is really good, I remember the camera zoomed out and I saw how fast she moved from one side to another, really good

 

[minze]

Mah, Am I the only one who think Gracie really has good skating skill?

Yes she does, but she does not have better skating skills than Satoko

Mah, Am I the only one who think Gracie really has good skating skill?

No one said anything about her skating skills. It's them pageant faces and stiff arm action. Lovely spins though

 

[figureskateobasan]

OMG can I cry?

What makes them "really good"? She gets distance but everything else is good/average.

2014 Olympics (where she got lower PCS than Julia Lip)

*medal placements

But I semi-concede--her PCs never placed her in an unfair placement barring Sochi (lbr a lot ppl got screwed over).
