2017 GP Internationaux de France Ladies SP

[Giselle]

Alina should go back to her Samson & Delilah SP. Swan Lake is not working for her at all this year.

 

[moriel]

Oh boy that score

She is in risk of ending up in the first warm up group too =(

 

[Anni234]

Orser is here!!!

 

[evasorange]

62 still seems a bit too high compared to the girls who scored in the 50s...

 

[largeman]

Oh please Simon, is there a need to be so dramatic? Of course Alina will be going to GPF

 

[Fish in the sea]

Looks like Alina was really nervous.

 

[4everchan]

alina has beautiful eyebrows... just noticed.

 

[lavenderblossom]

Nooo it's JGP Ljubjlana all over again

 

[ancientpeas]

Boy Eteri is scary. I would hate to disappoint her. Eyes of stone that one.

 

[Anni234]

Oh thank goodness a new SP dress for Maria!

 

[Mista Ekko]

Just goes to show how rare it is for someone to be as consistent as Evgenia. She is still in a league of her own.

Ain't that the truth

Medvedeva is one of the most secure athletes in the head we've probably seen in any sport

 

[jan]

Alina is nowhere near Osmond in terms of skating skills. I don't understand people feeling she could win.That score over 60 is way too high.

 

[Shayuki]

I was thinking the same thing!

Yeah, I was expecting the 3T there instead as a backup. Maybe that'd have been the smarter idea but it certainly shows some heart to go for a 3Lo instead.

 

[EdgeCall]

Orser in da house!

 

[Amer]

62.46 is way too high.
No combo, a fall and a step-out.
She should be behind Meite.

 

[bixby]

Wow, didn't expect this. She's not going to win. :

 

[kevinVchicago]

Vas-y Laurine!!!!

Alina lacks the maturity for that music. She looks down an awful lot, and it's an interior skate, not a performance.

No denying the talent, but something more age appropriate would be more uhm appropriate.

From what I saw a ballet program just highlights her weaknesses- I'd love to see her do a Tukt-esque program or even a fun pop song!

 

[loop9497]

I heard Tracy Wilson and Charlie White were scheduled. I see the name Steve Schlanger listed?

He's one of the NBC "non-expert" commentators (like Andrea Joyce). He already did commentary for an event. I guess Charlie will be on ice dancing only? I wonder if Tracy Wilson is doing men's and pairs as well?

 

[Miss Ice]

It just goes to show that Rus fed is taking a break from bribing after NHK. That was a lotta moneys...

although as someone already said, 62 is way too high.
