2015 Finlandia Trophy Ladies SP and FS

[MIM]

Oh I just came back... Missed everyone. Yulia is on ice.

 

[randomfan]

Oh no a double and a fall :hopelessness:

 

[Interspectator]

Nooooo Yulia....keep it together..please.

 

[Kuan]

oh oh

 

[satine]

Is that another PB for Rika? Anyways good job.

And finally time for Yulia.

The SP yesterday & the TSS today are PBs for her. Her FS score came within 1 point of her PB, so it didn't beat that. I was just posting this in her Fan Fest too!

 

[Rissa]

I think I'm starting to agree with the statements that Julia needs more adult costumes. This blue dress is too childish for her, fitting for a 12 year old schoolgirl but not for a young woman with her figure.

She moves beautifully though, despite the mistakes.

 

[OS]

Yikes Julia falls , better attention to choreography for sure than the test skate. Looks like Rika got this one in the bag.

Still not in topform, seems like she improvised after missing both 2A+3T attempts. Spins were better today

FS: 48.92+61.60-1.00 = 109.52, 172.33, 2/14

I absolutely LOVE Julia's program from a choreographic standpoint... I think it would/will be amazing if she can skate it clean. Unfortunately I don't think her jumps are what they once were but to me she is still a very special and beautiful skater.

 

[blue_idealist]

That's too bad about the mistakes, I think Rika will take gold. The spins were amazing though!

 

[minze]

Please Yulia find your love for skating again.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I actually think it looks nice. The dress.

 

[Kuan]

Hm. She could be off the podium with that skate.

 

[randomfan]

Some costly mistakes but the jumps she landed cleanly were beautiful. For sure she won't be in the lead and because of the pops it might go behind So Youn and Joshi for TES. I think her PCS will still be higher but not as high as Rika.

 

[Interspectator]

Really beautiful Program from Yulia...but those pops and things, are they a mental block now?
Her spins and spirals are wonderful.

It reminded me of a sailor costume. Agree, too childish. She's a woman now!

She looked so tired halfway through her program. The music is rather bland when she's tired...if she seemed to have more energy and mental engagement I think she could really interpret and sell the heck out of though because it's such subtle music. But that was not this performance. Poor Yulia.

 

[lauravvv]

I truly hope that Julia has not given up completely, and that there will be good competitions for her this season yet.

 

[Florencito]

So Youn should medal now.

 

[tulosai]

Me too, at first I wasn't sure, but I like it!

 

[blue_idealist]

I think the dress is okay.
