2015 Nebelhorn Trophy General Chat

Maybe I'm stuck in some COP of the past, but isn't the choreographic sequence supposed to be after the step sequence?

Ok. The illusion mesh. Why? The dress would stay up just fine with some straps- it was good enough for Sasha and Michelle. There is no reason for full sleeves of illusion mesh. Why is that a thing now, it just looks bad. :scowl: Less is more, people, less is more.

Agreed!! The illusion mesh wasn't a great match for her skin tone either, which is a big no-no.

Woo hoo Mirai slay count 2

That I actually do agree with...

Go Kailani!!

She has good energy, just needs to polish everything up

Well, after just one seasons of literally everyone having had the exact same idea about using a 'new' R&J arrangement, I am already sick to death of this one...

Very good skate though!

Yeah, but luckily they changed it post-Sochi.

I actually don't mind her costume I think her skating actually has some really pleasant qualities,but perhaps this music wasn't the best choice for her...

The dress part of the dress was beautiful, but why the 'invisible' sleeves? I just don't get it.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That was a pretty decent skate for Kailani, other than a few jumping issues - although I'm guessing that several of her jumps will be reviewed. I really liked the program. It was nice to see her range and connection to the music. I find her a very enjoyable skater to watch.

"Why the hell do all these skaters keep insisting on choosing warhorses."

This season is gearing up to be quite the cotillion ball for team Australia. New PB. Parabens, Kailani! :yay:

Try this stream: http://www.eislauf-union.de/LIVE-ST...TROPHY_Newsdetail_421_kkdetail_view_news.html. It has been working really well all through the competition.

Yeah mine has cut out a few times (just flat out cut out) but not either of these issues... sigh.

Lots of double jumps, I guess she doesn't have the easier triples?

FS: 37.81+39.60-1.00 = 76.41, 125.00, 5/10

 

[tulosai]

I actually really like this new Finnish skater for some reason... I hope we'll be able to see her again this season.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That was a rough skate by Karoliina. She seemed very slow, and the program was really empty. I just did not see the level of commitment this type of music requires.

"That is a powerful piece of music that requires some detailed choreography... we didn't see that here today."

I think she probably has them in theory but they weren't working out for her today... or maybe they just don't work out for her most of the time, it's hard to know without having ever seen her before
