2018 Olympic Figure Skating Ladies FS

Is this a tango?

I think this music is just too challenging to time elements to and to move to for almost all singles skaters.

 

[chopinskate]

Their music is electro tango, not jazz tho

The first part seemed very jazzy. I recognised it later. Anyway, the music cues needed sharpness.

 

[Tigerlily87]

I can’t stand the Tanos and Rippons

 

[Metis]

I just want to take a moment to appreciate the fact that Leona has the best full name of all the competitors.

Loena didn't quite hit her PB of 121+ from Euros, but 116+ is still pretty great for her!

Do you know how many Land Before Time movies they made? Like, a dozen of them. Straight to VHS.

Didn't most of those have actual titles though? Like, it was called Land Before Time [number]: [insert title here]

 

[CellarDweller]

5 under review, but decent job by Loena! She stood up, and was engaging!

Congrats to her, a big improvement over her short!

Btw, since I missed her short, I'll say it here, it was so cool to see a program skated to Madonna!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

The music is good as are the facial expressions but the actual choreo and body movements leave a lot to be desired.

Those body movements are connected to electro music, so

Loena Hendrickx

Clean landing on the rippon 3Lz (could have been called e, but judges did not). Some struggle on the 3F(tano)+2T(riippon). Okay 2A with average speed. Better, clean 3F on its own. Good positions on the combo spin (especially the Y-spin and the broken leg spin). Lots of edges and steps in the step sequence (Level 4). Okay 3S+2T(rippon)+2Lo(rippon) but a bit of short landing. A bit stuck on the landing on the 2A+2Lo with a step-out on the Loop. A bit forward on the 3Lo but landed.Decent layback spin (Level 4). Good speed on the flying combo spin to finish.

A fine performance for Leona here, with a good amount of attack in the jumps which fits the Goten Project tango. I like her positions in the spins, though they could have a better center. She could work on emoting and projecting toward the audience instead of downward, and she pumps her crossovers a bit. But a rather full technical performance from her today.

Oh gosh, Mae B :hopelessness: Scared to watch...

 

[Metis]

Let’s see which broadcasting entity makes a racist comment first....

 

[Shayuki]

Ah, the most ridiculous program of the Olympics is here.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Who's ready for the first costume change of the night? :agree:

 

[jillredhand]

Go Mae!! Show us that costume change so minor that it loops around to being ridiculously charming. Though the two halves of this program still make no sense together whatsoever.

 

[amateur]

Hendrickx is INTENSE - I like that

 

[WeakAnkles]

Mae rockin' the glam secretary look. Who doesn't love a bedazzled Peter Pan collar?

 

[Metis]

Go Mae!! Show us that costume change so minor that it loops around to being ridiculously charming. Though the two halves of this program still make no sense together whatsoever.

I started cracking up and now I can’t stop, pls halp

 

[MIM]

ME!!!

 

[LittleLotte29]

And now, ladies ang gentleman, program that gives me life every single time

 

[charmblade]

I love the occasional flashes of sparkles under her dress. Little tease of what’s to come.

 

[chopinskate]

So all the ladies who're skating to Chopin decided to destroy it?
