2014-2015 JGPF Ladies Free Skate 12/12

[tulosai]

Love Sotskova's dress. A refreshing change from the typical LBD for this music - much more age appropriate IMO.

I also like her dress but her skating just doesn't move me for some reason. I really want to like her but something's just not quite there for me.

 

[ordinary person]

Nice skate Sotskova

I think Wakaba will be on podium today. Deservedly.

 

[cebi26]

Ambitious content, but that pop will probably drop her in the standing

She will get the bronze. Obviously.

 

[satine]

I love Yuka's dress!

Me too!

Aww I wish Yuka did better her costume and music were amazing though (I have a soft spot for Saint-Saens) but this probably means my baby Wakaba will podium

 

[Snow63]

She will get the bronze. Obviously.

Or higher. Top 2 still haven't skated.

I like Serafima and her tano-jimp, but I don't enjoy to see so many tanos in one program:think:

 

[Snow63]

Sima was SO nervous, OMG. Not her best performance, still easily first place.

 

[luvsasha]

Me too!

Thanks! That's a great picture of it

Interesting layout, overall cleanish skate and enough for the lead

[tulosai]

I do love Serefima and have ever since her castle on a cloud program.... she has so much musicality and style. Its rare that I like watching a junior so much.

 

[chezzu]

that tano everything strategy is still so odd to me

 

[Doggygirl]

I was thinking about what Sequins said yesterday about Serafima having such a nice organic quality to her skating. I really appreciated that especially during the first half of her program. Oblivion was a nice music selection for her. I agree with the poster who said tanos get old after a while.

 

[EdgeCall]

The only thing I didn't like about Serafima is the make-up.

 

[Elaine]

Tano, tano, and tano again. I don't like the tano jumps... at least not that many in a program.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Did she do a 3lz+3t in the 2nd half?! :shocked:

 

[Sophie-Anna]

I enjoyed Serafima. I liked the old Evgenia's dress more than this one.
