2015 Worlds Ladies Short Program March 26

[Alchamei]

3T definietly UR.

 

[beki]

She sure takes her time to launch a jump.

Yeah, I think I'll only become a fan after she addresses that.

[Violetti]

Polina is great!

 

[samson]

Hmmmm I'm not sure Shin will give that toe to her. I would say it was < :hopelessness:

 

[bartlebooth]

And Polina delivers! Now, what about her flip?

 

[hippomoomin]

Her and Satoko must go to the same shop

 

[OS]

joshi is wearing a lot a lot a lot a lot of make up on her eyes (as usual)

war paint!!!

 

[firal]

Polina definitely gained confidence after 4cc win.

Yah for Rika! Very obvious improvement! Thank you Akiko.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Solid skate from Polina!

I have a feeling though she will be Amano's first "e" victim. But that 3F(!) was superb.... it sucks that it might only get 3 points if he's harsh on her.

 

[burntBREAD]

That 3T could certainly be called UR.

 

[willdu]

The flip looked inside to me. Although could be called !. Definitely not E though.

 

[peg]

Gah! My stream is freezing all over the place!!

 

[Seren]

Not sure about some of the jumps but I love Polina's confidence.

 

[jkun]

I'd say that 3T was UR. I'd be extremely surprised if she gets full credit on that. Idk about the flip/lip though

 

[evangeline]

Scores taking awhile....the tech panel probably is doing some reviewing.

 

[sabinfire]

Rika holds on to 1st!

 

[Sophie-Anna]

Polina was great but I would put Rika to the first place by 1 or 2 points. Rika improved really much on artistic side. Polina had more difficult jumps, but she had wrong edge. Rika's jump was better.

And yes, 2nd place.

 

[Sandpiper]

Looks like Polina has officially gotten over her early season SP issues. I'm glad. This is the much stronger program of the two.

Only question mark (outside of the obvious flip/lip) are those steps. There's an awful lot of stopping in between. While I don't mind and think it fits the music, I'm not sure if that's what the rules are looking for. I remember she messed levels on those quite a few times this year.
