2015 Nebelhorn Trophy General Chat

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

I died. Loving the shade.

mirai's slay count - ∞

And she definitely has the potential to slay at least 2 more lol.

I'm glad she's moved up at least somewhat :dance:

 

[mirai4life]

wow, they're serious about the time violation. Can't finish 1 second after the music. Better to finish early and make up random movements. lol

I hope this becomes a new thing, it would be funny to have a bit of improvisation on a regular basis.

What a nice interview with Elladj! He seems like a really thoughtful, down-to-earth human being.

 

[TMC]

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

Well she's Finnish, so she probably has them all but the nerves cause her to pop at competition...I blame the coaches

 

[samson]

Wow a 60.53 TES score for Mirai! That's great news. I'm really really curious to see the protocol, but I'm guessing she did five triple program based on what my eye saw and scoring over 60. The whole quality of that program was from a completely different skater than the one in the short. Too bad the PCS stayed down I wonder if we would have seen a higher number if she hadn't skated first in this group.

Anyway CONGRATS ON THE GOOD FREE SKATE!!!

 

[Alex D]

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

Maybe she will come over to Dortmund later this season, usually lots of Fins there.

And guys, don't be so negative with the girls. Keep in mind what Maxim said yesterday

I am just very polite with the girls, its very hard for them and I understand

Karoliina Luhtonen

I asked her if she will come to Dortmund and she said yes.
Also told her that you like her she was very pleased with that.

I think her PCS would have been slightly higher if she had skated later, but to really improve her PCS at this point I think she needs to gain international credibility again unfortunately. PCS are still largely reputation based even though in theory they shouldn't be, and she doesn't have much of a reputation anymore. A few more LP's like this and better SP's, they'd go up.

Oh thank you!! Especially for telling her I like her! That is wonderful

Totally agree. If she can keep skating like this I think we'll see that number tick up and up. Fun fact this is her highest TES score in the free since 2011 Four Continents.

Aren't we usually this mean to the guys, too?

What was the context of Maxim's quote.

Alain's doing GWTW, too? Isn't synchronicity in music choices fascinating.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Poor Alain, but I have to say her choice of costume is amazing. The barbecue dress, the curtain dress, and what does she go with? The harlot dress

Alaine CHARTRAND (CAN)

Music: Gone With The Wind (soundtrack)

Red dress

2A
3Lz+3T - hangs on, looked at least 3T<
3Lo
FCCoSp3p
FSSp
3F - e, fall, looked <
2A+1Lo+3S - bit wonky, maybe 3S<
3Lz - fall, looked <
StSq
3S+2T - landed, looked 3S<
ChSq
CCoSp3p

Rough skate with 2 falls and some URs. She looks bit disappointed

FS: 52.16+52.46-2.00 = 102.62, 161.35, 1/11

If so many skaters share the same music, maybe ISU could create some form of simultaneous skate-off competition?

 

[tulosai]

I also thought that!

Honestly this program is a bit meh for me, even if it had been skated cleanly. I did like the choreographic sequence and that she didn't seem to be losing steam at the end though.

 

[moriel]

the jumps look extremely laboured =(
