2017 GP Internationaux de France Ladies FS

Really liked this outing of Black Swan for Katelyn. When the jumps come she will score much better. The final placements seem quite on target to me. Great competition.

For me, the UR is the least of my problem with her when watching. Not sure why, but I find her programs Kovtun level boring.

Very technical but bereft of anything other than that.

Couldn't agree more - and note that Kovtun has (or at least had) the same trainer.

Well, it looks like Wakaba will miss the GPF if Polina does well next week. Too bad.

 

[Mawwerg]

Wakaba will still be on the edge. She needs Tsurskaya and Wagner to not be first.

 

[desertskates]

My dogs never got out of bed, and now I'm wondering if I should go back and join them...
Nice skates from the ladies though, glad I got up to see that!

 

[winky97]

Why???

Because Sotskova got a silver so it put her above Wakaba.

 

[OS]

MAI!!!!!! YOU ARE THE NEW POGO WITHOUT THE SPLAT. Robbed so many times, AND CONSISTENCY ONLY IN UNDERSCORE!!! I am soooo annoyed!!!! I hate BS SCORES!!

 

[kevinVchicago]

it's depend on Polina T and Ashley now wether Wakaba will go to GPF or not. If Polina/Ashley win then Wakaba out, if one of them getting silver they must scored 212+ which is not easy so if both of them didn't win Wakaba could go to GPF

Thank you for this.

 

[Interspectator]

Poor Mai, I hope she keeps her head up and not let this tough scoring get to her. -I still think she's on the right track, but she needs to keep her confidence.

 

[QuadThrow]

Would be so much more fun if Medvedeva and Zagitova would get less PCS. :sad21:

 

[LadyB]

Now, there's a podium after my liking! And well done, Elizabet :gclap:

 

[Shayuki]

Wakaba out? :sad21:

Pretty much. What a shame. I had to cheer for Osmond even though I can't stand her. And she of course couldn't deliver the one time I want her to. And didn't get crazy PCS the one time I wanted her to.

Gaaaaaaaah, poor Wakaba.

 

[Purv]

Only 70 PCS? Wow, I'm impressed. Where did the 4 points from Skate Canada on a worse skate go?

They have gone to Zagitova. We are in Europe, forget it?

 

[Kara]

Now I'm glad I didn't even try to go for final tickets though I lost the lottery for Japanese nationals. Poor Japanese audience...Probably only ONE Japanese skater in their final in Nagoya.........:sad21:

Let's hope for an epic Anna comeback!

 

[Leonardo]

I'm so proud of her, but God I have to say it's really intense to be her fan ).

I bet it is, you just wait her to hit and get 151 in her first "senior" season. Yes, so exciting.

 

[Tolstoj]

I think the placements are fair

Sotskova had a clean competition and is rightfully 2nd
Kaetlyn loses to Turs in the Free but bronze overall

In fairness, Kaetlyn didn't skate good both the SP and the FP and yet she is in third because judges didn't punish her too much, while Mai definitely did better in the free.

 

[Crystal7]

OMG this music =D

Exactly! They did it again

 

[whatif]

Holly Hell, Alina. I am worried for her. Those are one inhuman programmes. I almost feel like somebody needs to call child services. Just insane.
Goodbye Wakaba. I hope we'll see you at the Olympics along with Mai.

I am totally puzzled by Mihara's scoring. Osmond should not have beaten her.

Then the only hope is if either Gabbby, Karen, or Satoko wins SA? Yikes.
