2015 Worlds Ladies Free Skate March 28

[Sophie-Anna]

We're looking to the new world champion!!!And I can't find anyone who deserves more. Amazing. Not perfect on the combos, but rest was just great.

Nobody deserves more than her today

 

[rain]

She's got this. Of course, she pretty much had to completely implode to lose.

The way the announcer in the arena is saying the competitors' names is hilarious.

 

[FishOutOfWater]

Underwhelmed by both the Russians tonight. Is this kind of sloppy skating really what gets world medals now?

 

[evangeline]

This Tuk program is the epitome of Russian Tackiness. Like by far the tackiest thing that has come out of Russia since anything Slutskaya did.

Nah, that would probably be that Marilyn Monroe LP Ksenia Makarova did.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Well at least Gracie will get a small medal for the FS...

Probably but we will see what Murakami does... Hongo probably can't beat it even if clean.

I can see why you think so but I think this kind of dance ethnic music type of thing suits Liza T well.
Can you imagine her skating to idk... Mozart? (what a disaster it will be)

I gotta say, I've come to really love Liza. I'm an American and I prefer balletic, stylish skaters generally, but she has the most amazing jumps and the most amazing attitude. She's so adorable and plucky out there. and her basic skating is really quite good. To me, Radionova is just a hunched overwrought mess who muscles her jumps out. Liza's jumps are some of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen. and she sells her programs, cheesy choreography and all.

However, she did NOT deserve the scores she just got- yikes!

 

[Krunchii]

Congrats to Liza for winning World Champion! What a season it has been for her, her TES was over 65 before it disappeared, it's her title

 

[gravy]

Easily into first.

 

[Alchamei]

Woho! LIZA IS FIRST! THE NEW QUEEN!

Congrats Liza
Please, may Elena hold on that bronze

 

[invisiblespiral]

Liza!

 

[andromache]

I love how Mishin shakes her hand after she receives her scores.

 

[mimishawl]

My point exactly. Which would you rather have.....an ok short and a great long, or a great short and a long with errors?

 

[cjsk8fan]

Well that was scored too high, but Liza did deserve to win.

 

[LisaM]

I wonder what Liza is thinking haha, she looked a little uncomfortable with the score!
