2016 Cup of China Ladies FS

[Mista Ekko]

she still had a good shot if she ended 4th but 5th....

I can't see a situation where she'll end 4th right now, Only a disaster

 

[nolangoh]

That was a BIG Lutz, too bad on the loop though

 

[SarahSynchro]

Well Rika's already had a pop...

 

[euroskate]

Finaly a dress for her short neck. Not sure about skirt wrap

 

[MaiKatze]

Noo...Rika....*lhawdwuxeilnsurh*...

 

[alvina9894]

I thought I see Rika messed up on a jump but wasn't paying attention? Or is that just a transition?

 

[sallycinnamon]

I love the music choice. It reminds me of Alexei Yagudin's Lawrence of Arabia program from 1999.:luv17:

 

[ancientpeas]

And now Rika is uber fuzzy. Like early internet streaming fuzzy.

 

[solani]

Regarding Liza's lack of transitions - she has to hit her jumps, otherwise she's doomed. So the strategy is smart. And she always gives a good performance when she hits her jumps.

 

[SarahSynchro]

I can't handle Liza getting 64.58 for PCS. No no no no no! :ddevil:

 

[euroskate]

That is so miles apart from asleys presentation

 

[Totentanz]

Rika's spins...

 

[sallycinnamon]

That was a BIG Lutz, too bad on the loop though

The salchow at the end was also HUGE.

 

[nolangoh]

Please Rika no more than kind of sit spin position:noshake:

 

[Biellmann]

:noshake:

 

[ancientpeas]

I think all the Japanese ladies got their headbands from the same place as some kind of endorsement deal. I totally approve. I love all them.

 

[SarahSynchro]

What's so funny, audience?

 

[chairmanmao]

Ashley Wagner has to be the most overrated and overscored skater I have ever laid my eyes on.

 

[karne]

That bear is bigger than she is!
