2015 Europeans Ladies Free Skate, Jan. 31

Josh after Liza's winning performance, honestly I couldn't pay attention to her performance. But she manages to fight for herself.
 
Lovely fight from Joshi. So happy both sisters got their moment here in Stockholm.
 
Do you know Liza's luzt is 50 in height? That is the same height as Yuzuru's luzt at GPF. Of course with that jumps she should get much higher GOE!

Of course I know, that's why I wrote the post that said that I thought that she was going for a quad Lutz. One of the reasons I need protocols is so that I can make sure every judge gave it +3 GOE.

Aw they Helgelssons are at home and after their respective struggles, I'd give then loud cheers for pretty good skates. :)
 
Yeeees....Yeeeeessss....YEEESSSS!!!!!Liza Tuktamysheva is the European Champion!!!!! I am more happy than I was after her FP at Barcelona. However I was so nervous to look at her during jumps I am sure she was amazing....No doubt she deserves. :cheer::cheer: :cheer: :clap:

I was too! I don't know HOW IS SHE MANAGING WITH THIS? What kind of nerves does she have? Mishin is SOO right saying that the nerves depend on the level of preparation... and it is even without 3ple axel in her short! I am in awe...
 
Alright I think I'm off for a little mid morning nap, but I am SO HAPPY for Liza and also for Elena. So nice to see them both skate truly their absolute best. I also love that they both actually look like they are skating with joy, even in high pressure competition situations. It's hard not to love someone's skating when it's so obvious they love doing it. :love:
 
I think Liza's skate broke my stream. It was already stuttering a bit during her skate (though not enough to detract from her performance). By Joshi's skate, it was dead for at least 30%. But the 70% I did caught... I think she was very good, but everything from her elements to her basic skating just seemed dull after Liza.
 
73 tech scores with a 3T-3T? Need protocols...
Yes I have a small beef with the "easy" 3T3T, seeing how huge her Lutzes always are, it stands to reason she should have zero troubles with 3Lz3T.

However... unless IJS revamped their rules - the point total is the same, not counting the 10% bonus; there's no reward for doing more difficult combo if the sum of jumps are the same. It doesn't really matter whether she does a solo 3Lz then 3T3T, or a solo 3T then 3Lz3T. (again, not counting 10% bonus) If one must do easier combo, put them in the 2nd half. That's how you play the numbers game haha.

Can't wait for Sabin to upload Liza's program... in about 5 minutes, right? :biggrin:
 
Pogo keeps struggling. I do not see her on the podium in Shanghai. Definitely a very solid chance for Ashley.
