2014-2015 GPF Ladies Short Program 12/11

[Sophie-Anna]

Well done Rika that was great Ashley in the few moments...GO ASHLEY!!!

 

[rollerblade]

Wow Rika did amazingly well. I love that little wrist flip right on point to the music.

Am I too nitpicky to complain at people still using 3T3T in Senior grand prix? Seems like such a cop out. Or should I think like Kurt Browning "in the short, just get-it-done" ?

 

[WeakAnkles]

I love the audience!

Yes, they are quite an engaging group, aren't they? It almost makes up for the stream being a series of still pictures with background music. LOL!

 

[chezzu]

wow I really enjoyed Rika, she was lovely! reminded me of akiko for a bit

 

[sabinfire]

Rika HONGO 1st place (currently) 61.10

 

[Sandpiper]

Rika goes clean, which is good. My stream is stuttering on me, which is... bad.

 

[Alchamei]

Only 61,10?

 

[bartlebooth]

Well done Rika Hongo!
Always nice to see Mr Nagakubo. :yes:

 

[satine]

Is that score her personal best?

Rika goes clean, which is good. My stream is stuttering on me, which is... bad.

CBC isn't showing the GPF live?

 

[Warwick360]

Would you rather see a triple toe - double toe?

Not with what I'd been seeing last season. Would have expected triple lutz-triple toe from most of the top (especially the Russians) by now considering the previous season. :think:

 

[sabinfire]

Ashley stumble.

 

[xabia]

Great skate by Rika! There's just something about her shoulders that bothers me - she looks a little hunched up and not relaxed on the shoulders. But well done!!

 

[Alchamei]

Stepout on 3F from Ashley.

 

[Sackie]

They have to leave enough room in case Ashley UR again.

 

[sabinfire]

Is that score her personal best?

It is a Season's Best, yes.

 

[Florencito]

That costume though...

Yes? 3T-3T is worth 8.2 points (I think? Or 8.0, completely forgot the point values lol) and is much easier to get +GOE and rotate. Lipnitskaya and Tuktamisheva will be doing 3T-3Ts as well, most likely.
