2016 Trophée de France Ladies FS

So afraid to watch this because of Gabby. She is in such a great place to medal here - but I fear for it since when she was in position to win a medal in her JGPs she quite often let it go in the long. And skating last may not be good for her. She seems to do better when she skates early and can lay down a great skate that others have to surpass.
 
I knew it was time to switch over to ladies when someone brought up Hanyu's WR. I'm starting to learn the signs of when to depart a thread.
 
In honor of this week's OMG I'm Terrified™ moment, I wrote poetry. Behold:

I’ve watched too many times
As you let it all go
Imploded on the ice
A real depressing show
The people giving up
Say that you’re done for
But little do they know
That you have something more

Just a tiny sliver
Of skill or drive or luck
To get you through one skate
A bit would be enough
And even if it seems
Like they’re all counting you out
You still have what you had
Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I know these are hard times
I know you’re feeling low
But muster up your confidence
Calm down and take it slow
If you do that it’s plain to see
That you could run the show.

As much as you fall
I’ll never let go
Of the sliver of hope
That I’ll always hold.
It’s up to you to skate well
And there’s nothing I can do
But even though your record’s bleak
I still have faith in you.

You’ll always be my favorite
Regardless of outcomes
And despite the problems you face
I’m proud of the skater you’ve become.
You always make my stomach turn
And cause my hands to shake
But today I'm hoping that you’ll be
The best that you can skate.
 
She could be doing a Mao music wise. The many voices of Bjork? As I said on a personal level.. as in my opinion.
