2015 Worlds Ladies Free Skate March 28

[MasterB]

OH what could have been but, what the hell the American girls kicked *** tonight.

Shocked to see Miyahara take second, did not see that coming.

Everyone got underroation call on their 3-1Lo-3S

 

[Krunchii]

Liza's gradient nails are very nice, random close up but details are cool too

 

[gimble]

It was a bit of a downer. Still, the best scorers are the medalists. We can debate their scores now. ;-)

Well, I think she'll be all of 17 years old next season. Maybe 18.

You speak as though she's some grizzled veteran who has had so many missed chances during her long, long career.

She's only just now becoming a young woman.

I'm just being very realistic. Those are aspects she needs to work on or she will be eclipsed. Her jumps are not as strong as Gold's and her presentation is not as good as Wagner's.

 

[Alchamei]

can someone explain to me why 2A+3T is allowed twice in a program? and would let's say, 3L+3T also be allowed twice then?

The rule that you can't repeat two same combinations is no longer valid, you can do the same combo twice if you don't Zayak then.

 

[peachblossom]

Are they going to show the ceremony for small medals in the free skate too?

 

[NaVi]

Greatest National Anthem

 

[taltaltel]

Scoresheets.

As much as I like Elizaveta... whoever gave her 3T+3T a 0 GOE needs to be fired. That was definitely negative GOE for me...

 

[gravy]

can someone explain to me why 2A+3T is allowed twice in a program? and would let's say, 3L+3T also be allowed twice then?

Yes it would. They wouldn't be able to repeat any more triples but that is totally allowed.

Rad is irrepressible

Gracie and Ashley, so close to the podium. It's got to hurt. And Liza may be tacky, but I love her! She just sells that program. She also moves--can I say beautifully--across the ice. And even with a few slip-ups, her jumps are still gorgeous. Next best at selling her program was Ashley. Was her PCS really below Gracie's?

 

[Plisskin]

Did Liza seriously get the highest PCS scores? Judges bye.

 

[andromache]

I know a lot of people here don't like The Skating Lesson, but I can't wait to hear their take on this crazy whirlwind of a ladies event.

Seriously, was this event as strange as I think it is or is it just the sleep deprivation at this point?

 

[Arawen]

Seriously Russia has the best national anthem in the world!!

 

[Sjs5572]

Liza's PCS are the biggest farce in figure skating right now. No problems with her win, she completely deserved it. But her PCS scores are ridiculous.

I actually like Liza, but her PCS for IN, CH and PE are based on jazz hands/vogue hybrid.

 

[ancientpeas]

I guess I meant totally clean. No ur or e? I did think Rika deserved better but if she didn't do the technical stuff then what can you do.

 

[Miss Ice]

The Russian commentator keeps going on about Mao or Carolina (Kostner!) coming back and "going against our girls"... I just can't...

 

[Alchamei]

I don't like Russian anthem that much (overheard) but I love Liza on the podium!

 

[minze]

OK. Gold didn't medal bcause of a mediocre short. BUT, that little girl from Japan with the silver is just not on the same level as the other top women. The ISU again rewarding light-weight girls who because of their size can jump and spin fast. The audience doesn't understand this and it's hurting the sport. Not yet a complete skater. Lena also held up a bit.

Congratulations to US women who pulled themselves up so well today.

She has a name
