2014 NHK Trophy Ladies Free Skate 11/29

[thoakun]

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

I think so. Better than the rest of the American ladies atm, but I have no feeling about her performances.

I thought Gracie gave a good performance tonight, a great performance last night, and deserved the win. and I'm not a huge fan of Gracie's. But she was the clear winner to me.

I ADORE Satoko, btw. love her. but she was off tonight.

 

[Mrs. P]

Just FYI: Gracie got more for that 3S fall 3.63 -1 deduction/-1.50 then she got for a 2S-2T-2T at SkAm, i.e. ZERO POINTS due to zayaking.

did my satoko qualify for the final?

 

[Meoima]

I think so. Better than the rest of the American ladies atm, but I have no feeling about her performances.

The point is people are talking like she is not good at SS while in fact people who has seen her live said she's very fast and soft.

Finally, congrats to Gold for her 1st international win (though it sounds like it was backed into)... and making GPF!

Is Wagner in the final as well?

 

[elee63]

did my satoko qualify for the final?

no dearie, it's gonna be 4 Russians and 2 americans

 

[Alex D]

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

Haters

That s why i seldom post in them

 

[satine]

poo. On to the men.

At first I read this as 'poo on the men'

 

[taltaltel]

did my satoko qualify for the final?

No.

Yes she is!

did my satoko qualify for the final?

No.
If she'd been less underscored at Skate Canada, she might have, I think.

 

[Alchamei]

did my satoko qualify for the final?

No, unfortunately. She had to finish first or second with a higher score...

 

[Shayuki]

That judge giving Gold -2 for the fall... Good work there, guess it didn't look like a fall to you?

I saw her at 2014 US Nationals and 2013 Worlds for the free. I remember that she was fast but had very frantic arm movements. And her jumps were not as impressive live (they were awkwardly tilted....)

Nicky is letting Joanne have it in the pair commentary.. hahahah

Why do you take this all so seriously? Just enjoy the performances.
