2016 Cup of China Ladies SP

[liv]

Giant cockroaches????? Oh geez. Well of course... ice is fine for them

Joshi's music is terrible. Does not help her at all.

 

[Biellmann]

It's called "cup of disaster" for a reason :think:

 

[ancientpeas]

I feel for Joshi (despite the joke) they were saying that really she's staying in to go to the Olympics and I have to say I admire the persistence. And she has a very jaunty ponytail. GOE for the ponytail +3

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Poor Joshi! That music issue must have really thrown her. That was a rough skate. Cute costume though!

 

[MaiKatze]

I'm always thinking Enchantment under the sea when I hear this music. Joshi...not surprised.

 

[RadioFan]

Mitch Islam. And remember WC in Shanghai? So much food poisoning then

I wonder what and where they had their dinner.

 

[Icey]

poor musical choice

 

[4everchan]

paul & islam just withdrew

Which skater was poisoned?

 

[MIM]

Short program is Joshi's strong suit, usually...
Sorry about the music mishap....but....

Mitch Islam. And remember WC in Shanghai? So much food poisoning then

I guess skaters should know in the future to drink only bottled water and pack all their own food until after the competition. I know the Shibs always bring their own breakfast food.

 

[gravy]

Revenge of Gracie's dying cats music.

 

[Winnie_20]

I can only with very great difficulty accept a messed-up sound system during Stephen Sondheim music.
I can most definitely not forgive them if anything goes wrong during Gershwin.

 

[NicolettaL]

I like Lena, but these landings...

 

[bartlebooth]

Lena has grown so tall. A bit scratchy and labored, but I admire her grit.

 

[alvina9894]

Lena I love you

That was pretty good really, she sold the hell out of it!

Illusion into layback spin: 5/8

 

[ancientpeas]

I really, really object to her dress. She's a lovely girl and very svelte but the dress is not flattering. And the makeup...

 

[rollerblade]

LSp Liza my queen y u no take advantage of the new rule and protect your back?

What new rule about Layback?

I'm curious what's harmful about layback when these girls are doing Biellmann.... which seems like it hurt way more.

 

[valerieally]

That was a great sassy skate from Elena. I liked that she did not use a Gershwin warhorse.

 

[begin]

This is by FAR Lena's best program/music choice.
