2016 World Championships Ladies Free Skate

[Scovies]

The way the calls are going tonight, it looks like the tech panel is being veeeery stingy. This doesn't bode well for Ashley. Or Gracie's flip. Eeep. (And will Medvedeva finally get an edge call on her lutz?)

 

[Alchamei]

Show us your Riverdance Rika! :clapper:

 

[Plisskin]

I really dislike that wrap she's got going on in her jumps. I think she did good though for her first Worlds.

ET has lyrical arm movements

 

[bobbob]

both Mao and Mirai should have gotten around 10 points more. SO far (including the short), this seems like a very anti-Japanese judging panel, with Mirai being treated as Japanese instead of American, which is very unfair to all

I s2g Brian Orser coaches 50% of the people at worlds

For Russian or ex-Russian skaters gloves are always necessary.

How funny...............I always begged Todd Eldridge to wear gloves...He had the worst hands. He did make up for it by having great legs and a serious engine.....

 

[Seren]

The tech panel tonight is not letting anything fly.

Still can't process the info that Mao got only 69 PCS... Idiots.

I can't process it either, for gods sake did you see the content she landed and did right after crashing her head into the board, that alone deserves 10 extra points in PCS

Quick someone call the Posture Police! Hongo has taken the ice.

 

[s_parks]

Love this lp, tbh. Hope she kills it.

 

[nolangoh]

If Mao gets 69, NO ONE shall get more than 69. Maybe Ashley can get the same score, the rest? No.

Rika: first hunchback queen of the night!

(Elena is second hunchback queen <3)

I missed part of Elizabet because my mom heard me freaking out about Mao, and started lecturing me on why watching figure skating for hours on end was bad. And why I should wear a jacket over pajamas.

But, apart from the fall, she was nice.

Bless Mama Invisiblespiral.

 

[Alchamei]

Good combo!

 

[Seren]

Yay Rika!!!

 

[Tolstoj]

I don't think her scores in Sochi were any less outrageous than tonight's. Still waiting for Radionova's and Gold's 9.5s for choreography and interpretation.

no 9 for Radionova here, in the short received just a couple but also a lot of 8 / 7.75 / 7.5.

 

[Bumdid]

Is this a different dress for Rika or am I dreaming?

 

[bartlebooth]

I'm sleep deprived: I understood ET as ET: the extra-terrestrial

 

[Chemistry66]

Rika's dress has just the right amount of sparkle.

I can't help but picture Jason's 2014 skate right now though.
