2017 GP Skate Canada Ladies FS

[StitchMonkey]

Am I the only one who thought the judges got third and fourth backwards?

No, but I hardly want to see Courtney get a bronze thanks to a painful Russian meltdown two years in a row.

 

[temadd]

Yay for Ashley. Miracle on Ice 2!!!

 

[xeyra]

Quick, look at the kittens!

Playful kitten!

Sleepy kitten!

Kitten massaging it's friend!

Cuddle kittens!

Toebean kitten!

For Sarah

It'll all be okay, just look! :sad4:

That was surprisingly healing after Anna.

 

[Leonardo]

Sad ending for a tragic event with criminal judging.

 

[Purv]

That was certainly supportive but, again, it seemed like they only started supporting Pogo once she started self-destructing.. Or at least that's how it was coming across on the screen, it might be different in person.

Stop this nonsense!!!

 

[karne]

For sure. Seems like she was never taught how to fall. It should be the first thing you teach a skater practicing their first jump...

Actually, it's the first thing they teach you in Aussie Skate. It's in Tiny Tots 1/Basic 1.

A bit meh that Wagner medalled with that skate...


Yay top 10 finish for Kailani on GP debut! :yay: :yay:

 

[Ares]

I am so sad I think she nurtures injury, is undertrained right now, combine that with her fragility and this is the result.

 

[Mikansei]

Underwhelming competition compared to COR. Hopefully things are better at COC.

 

[Seruleane]

What are they saying?

Yes, I'd love to know as well. Anna's coach looks and acts more like the cool older sister as opposed to a coach. I honestly wonder what their relationship is like.

 

[Lzbee]

VERY interesting conversation between Anna and her coach :think:

What did they say? It looked very awkward there with the massive gulf of sofa between them.

 

[mermaidfestavol3]

Let's hope for cleaner skates next week at CoC.... Showdown of Japanese skaters and Zagitova will make for a (hopefully) easier program to watch....

 

[Shayuki]

Hicks got robbed she should have been on the podium.

Ashley's PCS in relation to hers was a joke, for sure. Hicks also had a bit too low PCS IMO.

For this competition, while Osmond was wildly outscored, the biggest injustice is Ashley getting a medal.

 

[4everchan]

That was certainly supportive but, again, it seemed like they only started supporting Pogo once she started self-destructing.. Or at least that's how it was coming across on the screen, it might be different in person.

depends who is watching which screen...

 

[Cherry blossom]

I'm not Canadian, I'm watching on TV, and I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about.

Just people finding a way to hate canada/canadian skaters. same old here.

 

[twirlingblades]

Happy for Ashley and Courtney (I would be totally fine with Courtney sneaking in the Olympics).

Devastated for Anna.

 

[badknees]

Anna...

Looks like Wagner just Wagner'd herself onto the podium.

I know it seems that way, but it was the bad skates that came after her that really had nothing to do with Ashley.

 

[Icey]

VERY interesting conversation between Anna and her coach :think:

please share

 

[yuna]

Disappointing competition. So sad for Anna

 

[lutzlover]

VERY interesting conversation between Anna and her coach :think:

What were they saying? Unfortunately I'm not proficient in Russian

 

[Eislauf]

I had goosebumps watching that warm, wonderful Canadian audience support Anna, rise to their feet and applaud her courage for sticking out her disastrous program, especially after she hit her head on the ice.

Too bad her bloodless coach doesn't seem to be able to do the same.
