2015 Worlds Ladies Free Skate March 28

[burntBREAD]

That's going to drop down to around 8th, I think.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Eek... That will drop Kanako... Might be behind Wagner.

 

[AprilS]

Kanako performed the heck out of that! ...but this music cut will never not be atrocious

 

[frieda]

Lovely Kanako <3

 

[Naya]

What a strange world champs.

 

[Lissy]

Wow. Ashley and Gracie are going to walk away with freeskate medals. That's actually very exciting!

 

[Scovies]

Erm...why is Kanako's TES so low??

No 2A-3T and a popped jump, presumably.

 

[ancientpeas]

Why wouldn't you use Michael Crawford's singing if you have to use POTO?

Sheesh..and tomorrow there will be more POTO too.

Solid enough skate, but lower difficulty than the other girls. Will drop probably. Did I miss a jump?

FS: 52.48+61.70 = 114.18 (SB), 179.66 (SB), 7th (out of 24)

I do deny it - but I just have no idea what you mean by "tacky" in this context. Do you mean not "serious", not "balletic"? Because frankly I find most serious/balletic programs even tackier - they're generally trying to be something they're just not. Figure skating's pretensions at "art" generally are rather tacky (doesn't mean I don't love them!). Liza's program wasn't pretentious, and it suited her style, which is pretty much the most you can ask for.

Amen to that!

POTO...
cant stand Gerard Butler 'vocals':hopelessness:

I totally agree. Wished she used Michael Crawford's version instead.

 

[gimble]

I actually didn't mind the Murakami's music. She looked a bit tired though.

 

[invisiblespiral]

What a strange world champs.

Agreed. Let's hope the men are better, and I'm happy for Satoko, Liza, Ashley, and Gracie.

 

[4everchan]

Heaven forbid she be happy about winning. Haters gonna hate.

:shocked: i actually loved her SP… she was going for it, and delivered a brilliant performance… my comment is not one of hate…. but rather of disappointment… it's great to win, and one should be happy about that, but don't you think that her performance, considering she's so much stronger usually, should bring into her mind some more humility?

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

the hell happened to her layout

Was there even a 3T in it?!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

As much as I am sick and tired of POTO, I honestly really like what Kanako did with it. She sells the program very well! I hated the FS costume though... ugh...

 

[Krunchii]

Gracie and Ashley both get small medals for the FS, not the medals they wanted but I'm proud of them for pulling themselves up and not getting discouraged

 

[ramurphy2005]

Kanako performed the heck out of that! ...but this music cut will never not be atrocious

Yep, and it might have been a bit bearable if she'd picked a better vocalist.

 

[peachblossom]

Does this mean Ashley & Gracie will get free skate medals? Yippee!

 

[satine]
