2015 Finlandia Trophy Ladies SP and FS

[ruffledgrouse]

The superstition is that green is "bad luck", and I think it comes from the theatre world, where actors are afraid to wear green or, in some countries, purple, because it brings bad luck.

It's interesting to notice that this superstition dates back to the Middle Ages, when green was associated with wilderness (think of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight). Fairies, hunters (and poachers) outlaws (i.e. Robin Hood), all people related to the woods wore green. If people wore green on Fridays (the day of the Passion of Christ) they would have upset the fairies, who are excluded from eternal life.

As for purple (the "bad luck in theatre" colour in Italy), it is associated with Christ and His Passion as a liturgical colour, so I guess that people should not wear it in a secular context as it is the theatre.

Sorry for the long explanation, but I happen to be fascinated by this sort of facts.

Don't apologize, I love stuff like this. I wonder how many of the skaters who believe in the superstition know its origins.

Great skate! So proud. Those colors look amazing on her skin tone, too. I hope they can both make it to the Olympics in 2018

That would be special indeed, but what are the chances that Norway gets two slots?

Figure skating fan problems

I know! Like last month when I got my nails done, I put on the livestream for ice dance of the JGP Colorado 2015 on my phone so I can see McNamara/Carpenter's FD. Lol.

 

[tulosai]

I really liked Bock!!


Gooooooo Julia!!!!

 

[andromache]

I've never seen Bock before, but I really love this program. She has some nice qualities! She uses her limbs very well with the music.

 

[MIM]

I am really nervous...
Yulia!!!good luck!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

:hopelessness:

 

[OS]

Not a fan for saccharine sweet skating music (rather rachel portman esque), but that seems a decent performance. She seem to be happy with it.

Okay Julia... bring that rocking roll attitude back and charm the judges into submission plz!!

 

[SaraM]

That would be special indeed, but what are the chances that Norway gets two slots?

if they both place top 10, europeans 2017....not likely..

 

[ruffledgrouse]

The judges sure are taking their time with Lutricia's scores...

 

[tulosai]

if they both place top 10, europeans 2017....not likely..

There are other ways too, involving Worlds placements in 2017, but also very unlikely...

[ahy]

This dresss...

 

[Sorrento]

Both streams don't seem to work for me. Please update on Julia's SP skate whoever is happy watching.

 

[matcha]

Yulia's costume is an eyesore.

 

[ahy]

Is it just me that she looks skinnier than before...

 

[Florencito]

Julia falls and my streaming too.

 

[satine]

I feel like this is Julia's polar opposite style :shocked:
