2016 Skate Canada Ladies FP

[MIM]

What is it?

Edit: Sorry, I heard a loud noise, listening to icenetwork.

 

[Matilda]

Evgenia is a beautiful and extremely talented skater, but this music gives me hives

 

[friedbanana]

At least she didn't break the world record!

 

[Osmond4gold]

The same that Bell got last week with 6 triples and not the same levels on her other elements that Kaetlyn gets! And no where near the same PCS as Kaetlyn!

Thank you, Sackie. As per usual, a voice of reason.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

The voiceovers in Evgenia's program are such an obvious attempt to get me to FEEL SOMETHING that it just pulls me out of her program entirely.

Well clearly you're feeling something. I guess that means even more points for Zhenia

 

[ancientpeas]

I agree with the placements but maybe not the scores. Kaetlyn was overscored to me but I'd still have her second. Satoko's problem was the short. She needs to get those jumps around and she'll be right up there at worlds.

 

[4everchan]

ISU"s phone is rather old-fashioned... oh wait.. i guess it's gotta be expected

Evgenia, why so sad? ISU called to tell you that you won.

 

[Krunchii]

It bothers me that anyone would think that this was an okay program. If people tripped at Yulia's Schindler's List, why did her coach think that people were going to be okay with this?

Because he is a genius who needs to tell the world little girl stories

Bit tight on some jumps, but clean and enough for the win

FS: 72.86+71.55 = 144.41, 220.65, 1/11

I'm glad she got called on her edge with "!", even if it's not a full "E".

Edit: I just realized this is your own call and not the official protocols. Nevermind.

 

[ranjake]

Yes, everything to this.

YES. She's amazing. I wish she had a program that lived up to her talent. And less tanos

 

[gmyers]

Medvedeva is of historic greatness and this program is a landmark.

 

[Biellmann]

Say what you want but i like the arm choreo of this program a lot.

She is the Queen!

She is a child

 

[s_parks]

Why are they bothering with specifying criteria for pcs if they're going to hand out scores like these left and right?

 

[EdgeCall]

Come one BESP guys, "best female skater in the world" again??? I am so disappointed with you!

I am so grateful they are not commenting goldenskate.com style ...

 

[eta]

From what I saw (since stream was misbehaving) that score was right relative to what Osmond got.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Can I see Kaetlyn again? I am not feelin' EM.

 

[Daniel1998]

Regardless of the scoring, i still think this is the correct podium.

 

[Mrs. P]

The same that Bell got last week with 6 triples and not the same levels on her other elements that Kaetlyn gets! And no where near the same PCS as Kaetlyn!

Bell's score was not the same, it was two points lower. She also did not fall.

 

[mrrice]

Look, I don't care for Med's program however, she is one talented young skater. She deserves the gold here but, I truly hope she gets better programs next year. This program is just painful to watch because I can't stand the Soundtrack.

 

[gravy]

Arrived late so only saw Medvedeva. Sigh. If she's literally going to do the same program right down to the transitions, she should just use last year's music again. I don't know what was different with today's broadcast, but you could hear the background during the step sequence more clearly and it's in such terrible taste.
