2017 GP Skate Canada Ladies SP

[tulosai]

Is it only me or her program really look ludicrous?
All these sexy mature moves...

No it's not just you. I think this is really ill suited to her and it's unfortunate. She is a lovely skater and performer, but I think this is a little mature for her, not so much because o her actual age but because of how very young and wholesome she looks, even if that may be unfair. She also doesn't quite sell it though, there's a sensuality that's necessary that's missing in her skating.

surprisingly Karen looks Juniorish in the first half, especially when doing the miming work.

However, she knows how to fight back!! WOW that spiral was fierce!!!

The missed combo probably shooked her. She is better than what she has shown here...

 

[Leppis]

now let's go Ashley!!! show me your sass

Karen look so much slower here than other events. I wonder if something going on here...

I like Karen, but I share the opinion about the music. She was just skating there and powerful music was at the background.

Hopefully the ice dancers will exorcise the curse on the ice...

why did karen give up carmen?

 

[Hyena]

I'm that weirdo who likes softer programs on Courtney and fiercer programs on Karen. I did feel that Karen didn't deliver the step sequence here as well as she has.

 

[Chemistry66]

So there's 3 Moulin Rouge programs (Karen Chen's SP, Ashley Wagners's FS, and Kailani Crane's FS) and 3 Swan Lake programs (Maria Sotskova's SP, Kaetlyn Osmond's FS, and Anna Pogorilaya's FS).

Bleeeeeeeeeeeeh

(At least no Gatsby?)

 

[hippomoomin]

No wonder. I haven't seen a program from her hat I didn't like. Shae-Lyne is much more talented than Lori for sure.

Credits to Shae-Lyne too for the excellent choreography!!

Sooooo underscored in PCS

 

[badknees]

What is Karen's music? I find it annoying and jarring

 

[tars]

Rooted for two skaters: Marin and Karen.

What a wonderful beginning of the weekend...

 

[MaiKatze]

now let's go Ashley!!! show me your sass

For a second I read that without the s. :shocked:

 

[xeyra]

The ladies are being kind of a mess. Save us, Ashley!

 

[kevinVchicago]

Overscored.
Next.

 

[Mrs. P]

Courtney slays again...Man the moment I put her out of my predictions...

 

[desertskates]

Ashley, do your stuff!!!

 

[labgoat]

Go Ashley!
