2014-2015 GPF Ladies Free Skate 12/13

[Mrs. P]

My prediction as are a mess, but I love the results! It's like the comeback kids edition with Liza beating he co-patriots who were once ahead of her and Ashley getting on the podium!

Ashley grabs bronze!! So happy for her...and Elena and Liza.

Major props to the amazing Spanish crowd for being so awesome

 

[Sophie-Anna]

And with a great happiness I can say now that Elizaveta Tuktamysheva is definitely back. Last season I didn't believe she will do that. She is such fighter....She is not my super favorite skater but I love her personality so I wish it for her really much. I've never been so happy for anyone during this season yet.

 

[jkun]

She doesn't look that thrilled xP. We know who is thrilled though. Ashley!! Good for her. She had a lot of gut. Miraculously avoiding a Russian sweep.

 

[MalAssada]

My predictions are totally screwed, but it was worth it! Queen Liza!

 

[tinlizzie]

I'm so thrilled for Liza! And happy to see Diva Ashley medal. She fought for it!

 

[begin]

Woot Ashley! She medaled

 

[bramweld]

Liza!!

 

[Hyena]

Liza is such an absolute badass now I just love her. Can't really believe I'm saying this but I think she's one of my favorite skaters now. I find her to be inspirational, but she's also a woman who skates like a woman who knows what she's doing and what she wants, with great expression. I'd like to see slightly better spins, but other than that I just find her amazing.

Totally agree. She's still only 17, right? But she does seem to skate like a woman out there.

 

[MsLiinaLii]

I cannot believe I am crying.. But Lizaaaa!
I loved her since junior and believed she will come back and she did !!!

Radionova was excellent today as well, congratulations, ladies!

 

[FSfan99]

Love this podium!! Amazing comeback

 

[satine]

I couldn't get a live feed for the FS just like CoC. So sorry Yulia....I'll do better next time

I can't wait to see Liza's performance. It's usually mesmerizing watching her FS. It's probably the best FS this season and the jumps are just

Here's her FS.

eta: Lip's I mean

The two struggling Russian girls should take a good look at Ashley and Elizaveta and learn that this is why you never give up. You get through the bad competitions, get up and keep fighting.

 

[Krunchii]

Great day! Ashley gets a medal and Liza wins! Liza's posture and spins still need work but I'm so happy for her, she's such a superstar

Yup I think a lot of people had written her off. She's a good lesson for them and for other skaters who are struggling with growth or injuries.

 

[adelia]

When Liza gets that 3A back. As long as she stays healthy, she will be untouchable.

 

[Shayuki]

She did very well but to be honest it was more the russians shooting themselves in the foot :/

 

[zamboni step]

Nice jumps but everything else is meh. Slow across the ice and medeiocre spins and boring artistry.

There are many things to critique in Liza's presentation...boring is DEFINITELY not one. She may be my favourite Russian now...

 

[SashaJuliaSpins]

Elizaveta TUKTAMYSHEVA ...203.58 (FS TES 70.90, PCS 65.16)
Elena RADIONOVA ..............198.74 (FS TES 70.90, PCS 63.95)
Ashley WAGNER .................189.50 (FS TES 65.18, PCS 64.08)
Anna POGORILAYA ...............180.29 (FS TES 62.34, PCS 57.61)
Julia LIPNITSKAIA ................177.79 (FS TES 53.36, PCS 60.19)
Rika HONGO ........................176.13 (FS TES 60.14, PCS 54.89)

The placement is right, with me crying for Julia...messed up all my predictions except for Rika, but I can't complain!
