2015-16 Grand Prix Final Ladies Free Skate

[Vili67]

This was not Gracie's best day

 

[paperhearts]

Hopefully Gracie sorts out her problems with competing, IIRC she was doing great at practices wasn't she? Anyway, GO SATOKO!!

 

[Ophelia]

Satoko, my beautiful little hummingbird!

 

[badknees]

here's hoping they score eveyone correctly and not ignore Sakato in particular with her underrotations

 

[Sackie]

With only 3 clean triples how did that score only 8 points less then Ashley's TES. And her PCS is a joke!

 

[Watermelondrea]

No matter how well Satoko does, she shouldn't surpass Ashley. I'm sorry, but those jumps do not merit a score of 128, certainly not of a TES any higher than 66. She pre-rotates almost half of the jump.

Based on Gracie and Ashley, I bet we'll see lots of 200+ scores coming up.

 

[Shayuki]

Sigh, so I was watching Gubanova's 9yo skate earlier today and she jumped higher than Miyahara does here.

 

[Ophelia]

Everything else besides the jumps is wayyy better than Wagner.

 

[Layback11]

Well, she pretty much won't medal, but if two people melt down she could be 4th. Satoko and Elena are the most likely but I don't want Elena to melt down...

 

[Jammers]

Gracie doesn't seem to have much speed today into and out of the jumps.

She gets tight and her jumps have no flow when she's nervous.

 

[Shayuki]

128.27 for Gracie's long. What a joke. She was not into her skate at all, jumps were also off.

Yes. That wasn't even a 120p skate as far as I'm concerned.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Gracie needs a sports psychologist. She never skaters a blinder after someone skates really well. She needs to learn to ignore others results and skates.

I can't imagine that she doesn't have one at this point. As Frank said, she's an 'excitable girl'

(On a super shallow note, her eyebrows are bugging me again today. I think they're becoming a predictor for her- every time I've noticed them in a bad way, she's underperformed)

 

[Vili67]

Satoko is like little pocket rocket

 

[badknees]

Agreed Gracie's score too high especially PCS.

 

[Layback11]

How's Satoko doing?

 

[Ophelia]

How's Satoko doing?

Clean. Per usual.

Exquisite. Per usual.

 

[winky97]

Other than a hand down, she's not messing up, but she does look a little anemic. Slow and cautious today.

Oop, there's another almost fall

Pop.

Okay, I think your bet is safe

Yeah, I just won. I just needed Ashley to finish higher than Gracie in the GPF. That was the bet we made prior to the season starting.

 

[Greta]

I wish I liked Satoko more. This FS doesn't make me feel anything except mild disinterest. Good for her that she is handling the pressure well, though.

 

[moriel]

Gracie getting almost 130 with that skate... I guess Medvedeva will break the WR today if clean.
