2015 Worlds Ladies Free Skate March 28

Awww...I love "At Last". I walked up the aisle to it - Mr. Rant and I will be celebrating our fifth anniversary in a few weeks. Now I'm all schmoopy.

I don't understand the trend of tights over the top part of the boot. It makes the skater's legs look so much shorter.

Russo bores me, I'd rather be watching Mustafina, and at least her song isn't called 'I Had Fun Giving Birth But I Have No Idea Who The Father Is'?

 

[Bumdid]

At least her fall is synchronized to the music change

Congrats!

I really like the strappy back of Giada's dress.

Not being rude to Giada, but because I can understand the words in the music, it is so obvious that she is just doing her own thing and the music is like background! So sorry people, don't be angry

 

[Icey]

raunch it up, baby lmao

The slow-motion replays in particular are wacky. It's like they focus more on expressions and gestures, rather than the elements you'd want to see in slow-motion.

Eyebrows, skate laces and fingernails are pivotal elements of every skating program and I for one APPLAUD camera operators in Shanghai for recognizing that.

:sarcasm:

Imagine if Mustafina was a figure skater though how amazing she would be

She'd be awesome, I agree.

+3 GOE for eyebrows on fleek.

I once saw a skater tape her laces down so she didn't hook them when she skated. Maybe that's what they're doing here. But, IA, it looks sloppy

i am a pianist… and trust me, if I didn't love figure skating as much as I do, I would have quit watching a long time ago or put the sound on mute LOL but some people do it better than others…. they should hire musicians when they pick music… they hire dress makers (mind you some dresses are ugly)… why not trust the experts when it comes to music… and actually, everyone is complaining about the choices yet LOL

My husband, a classical music lover, always sais he can't watch Figureskating. He said it's so annoying to listen chopped music.

Congrats!

Thanks! To get back to the topic at hand - I really didn't like the second half of the program.

Producers always think the overhead spin angle is cool, when you can't even tell what they're doing. It's like boot closeups. Only interesting if it's the first time you've ever seen figure skating.

 

[Sandpiper]

It seems like some people in this group can jump (sorta) and some can skate... but no one can do both. Ouch, with that, it was still Russo's SB?

But Angelina will get there. I'm sure we'll see a better StSq next year.

[4everchan]

don't apologize.. you are allowed to say that… i think she doesn't have a clue about the piece as well…

Not being rude to Giada, but because I can understand the words in the music, it is so obvious that she is just doing her own thing and the music is like background! So sorry people, don't be angry

 

[mirai4life]

here we go

On the bright side, Germany isn't in last? I'm going to edit my essay on Russia now...
