2015 Worlds Ladies Free Skate March 28

[TwinnerA]

It's unreal to see all three American ladies' names in group 2.
I feel as if I'll see Kwan's name still somewhere in group 1 if I just look for it.

Can't believe it has been 10 years since Michelle's last Worlds (and first time off the podium since 1995)!

 

[Becki]

How long does ice resurfacing take? I am thinking of taking a break...

 

[ancientpeas]

Alaine has had some bad LP. I could see her falling below So Youn. Selfishly I hope not though.

 

[Flaya]

Hes been saying everyone's surnames weird, with Elena I swear he just slurred all the sounds together

Did these announcers get proper training?

The Canadian one (in English) from the Sochi Olympics was very good, but this guy is a disaster.

I am not in linguistics or any related field, but even I notice one mistake after the other.

 

[firal]

Can't believe Gracie is coming up next after resurfacing

Very happy Zijun is in the last group; to me she is like So Young, lovely, but inconsistent. If their PCS is affected by their group placement somewhat, then Zijun would benefit today by being in the last group and by being at home.

Mae will have to go below her.

Sigh. Knowing the usual cold acceptance to Mae's skating, you never know...

 

[Sandpiper]

It's unreal to see all three American ladies' names in group 3.
I feel as if I'll see Kwan's name still somewhere in group 4 (the last group) if I just look for it.

There'll never be another like her. The Kween forever.

 

[MiRé]

*sigh*, those PCS on SY

 

[peg]

Please don't melt down, Alaine. I can definitely see a scenario where she ends up 13th here...

I'm so nervous for her!!

 

[Mangomango]

2nd group has never been more exciting

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Does Nicole Rajicova look a bit like Elena Sokolova (tm Cupcake) to anyone?

I always think she looks like the wife in the movie "Devil's Advocate". The one married to Keanu Reeves. Sorry I don't watch movies often enough to know her name

 

[Sjs5572]

It will probably come down to Meite. If Meite gets 103.68 or more, most likely korea will be down to one spot. I doubt any other skater will fall out of top 12.

 

[elee63]

I think choreography wise I preferred her previous season's music.
Was it by Cindy Stewart or something..?

Yup, Cindy Stuart. She did both the short and the 2 different longs, as well as the exhibition program that she's continued with for the 2014-2015 season.

 

[elee63]

Warm up at 12:34

 

[RABID]

And if the judges would award her the PCS she deserves. /rage

Watching but not commenting, but feel like commenting about this. Ever wonder if the Korean Federation has some kind of "official" understanding with the rest of the skating world; layoff our speed skaters and we'll turn a blind eye to our figure skaters.

 

[sbaker]

Sigh. Knowing the usual cold acceptance to Mae's skating, you never know...

But... Mae is pretty consistent. What a sad scenario... I hate to say, but I think Alaine is more likely to fall behind SY than Mae, just based on consistency. I hope she doesn't tho. I wanna see Alaine and Kaetlyn next year! Ugh they need to reform this system (separate thread, I know).

 

[yyyskate]

*sigh*, those PCS on SY

and the camera cannot catch her....
guess fans now can only do her R&J montage now. no clean R&J.
although cam cannnot catch her this time.
but do left some interesting cam angle.

 

[ks777]

I think So Youn 's problem is that she is trying to look and skate like Yuna but a copycat will never be better than the original. She needs to create her own persona.
I do agree that she is a lovely skater though.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Now SoYoun is 13th at least, korea may be losing their 2nd spot. But I want the skaters to do well later so...

But with HaeJin, she only has to be 13th, right?

 

[andromache]

The upcoming group is the one I'm most anxious about. Keep it together US ladies! I don't even know if I can watch.
