2017 GP Skate Canada Ladies FS

[Marius]

Karen's program was a little bit flat for me, but gosh, that spiral is a real moment! That choreo sequence totally deserves +3 GOEs!

 

[badknees]

They gave Amber Glenn one of Gracies spots. Maybe Courtney could get France??

 

[nolangoh]

Stunning dress Rika. Best of luck!

 

[jillredhand]

There is no excuse for not knowing Lauriiiiiiiine! [emoji7]

The excuse is the creeeeepy music choice. A Marilyn dress with Diamonds or something would bring the house down-- a Marilyn dress with Lolita and My Heart Belongs to Daddy is just extremely uncomfortable.

Poor Karen, I don't want to see tears in her eyes

the difference between american and russian girls.
russians: lost of speed in first jump combo, can still pull a 3T. Missed the 3T combo, add it later
americans: lost of speed in first jump combo, double it or try to rotate 3T and fall. Missed the 3T or added 2T. Brain freeze and don't add the 3T back.

Difference between american and russian girls.
russians: make one mistake and youre out, cause there are like 10 other senior girls ready to take your spot, and then other 10 talented juniors turning senior next year
americans: its just you and other 2-3 ladies, so you will get that spot anyways.

Love Rika's dress!!!

[Ylyzybyth]

Oh boy Karen. Her jumps are soooo HUGEEE!!! I hope she polishes her program and does better in the future. I like her! Is this the hair halfway down competition?

 

[Lissy]

I have a lot of respect for Karen that she choreographs her own programs but she really isn't that good of a choreographer yet. She absolutely can be! Maybe taking some classes or studying different styles of dance will help her. But right now, it isn't cutting it. And I say this as somebody who adores her and finds her really impressive.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Marin slayed Karen.

 

[crankyintheAM]

Oh Karen! But I like this FS so much more than the other. She has so many lovely qualities!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Tech panel will work again :sad21:

rika's dress is a huge no for me

 

[rain]

Ugh the posture on Hongo. How could that not have been fixed over the years.

On the plus side, she actually got a beautiful arm position over the head on the jump.

 

[glorybox6]

Wow, I really feel for Karen. I'm sure putting together a whole new LP last minute was distracting from her technical preparation for this event.

But she never should have been in that position in the first place. What is going on with her leadership? It's the Olympic season. There should have been more thought (from the start) put into her programs and packaging for this year. Now she's playing catchup.

 

[Cherry blossom]

Thank goodness that woman stopped singing

 

[Silvia451]

I'm not ok with Karen getting higher pcs than Marin

 

[SarahSynchro]

Marin slayed Karen.

You're writing poetry with that rhyme.
