2018 Olympic Figure Skating Ladies FS

That dress tho.

It’s technically in keeping with the film, and I don’t think it’s bad. Looks modern, and from a distance, not gaudy or overdone, sells the character, accomplishes exactly what it needs to.

Kailani Craine

Alright 3Lz+2T (very strange setup, almost as if it was a loop). Better landing on the 3F. 3Lz was landed but may also be < (called <). Good center on the flying combo spin with defined positions (Level 4). Good speed in the combo spin (Level 4). Okay 3Lo+1Lo+3S (3S might < and it was called such). Clean 3Lo, though. Alright choreo sequence with an average 2A+2T. Another 2A to end. Good, interpretive steps in the step sequence (Level 4). Strong layback spin with a nice Biellmann (Level 4).

Kalaini was able to carry that music through the program. Not a lot of impact or pizzazz, but competent expression and intensity. Really nice spins today with clear Level 4s and decent centering. Her sparkly dress does help the program which is a darker interpretation of Moulin Rouge than, say, the dramatic version of Ashley Wagner's.

*sneaks into thread*

*sneaks back out*

Stay awhile. Eat some snacks. Throw some shade. Bring up Nathan Chen. Descend into madness with us!!!!!
I'll make you a drink.
With a little vodka, anything can become alcoholic.

Ooo! Baz Luhman just sent a tweet to Kailani wishing her luck.

Season's best yaaaay! Go 'Straya!!

 

[GGFan]

What a smile! She's so happy!

This was amazing at Nebelhorn. And she was attempting 3Lo-3Lo. Why give it up?

 

[Metis]

Oh. Human Ambien.

Alas it's the middle of the day in Australia, so Karne's at work I would assume.

No drinking on the job!

I have to say, happy Kiss and Cry moments have to be my favorite Olympic moments by far.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

She's too busy turning off that Red Light. GOD! LEAVE ROXANNE AND PAPA ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roxanne and Papa need alone time? Oooooh, Mama's definitely not gonna like that


Congrats on a new PB, Kailani!

 

[Puchi]

Schott time!!!

 

[CellarDweller]

Wow, she pulled off the combo. With that first landing, I didn't think it would happen.

I love the dress too! Surprised it wasn't talked about more is what I meant.

 

[auser]

Well you can have it without the vocals...which I prefer 'cause that dude who sings at the beginning of the song freaks me the Hell out

I just really love tango music, makes me happy.

Me too. To me he sounds like he is so upset with her he is barfing while singing at her.

Canada just won a gold and silver in ski cross [emoji1063][emoji1063]

Ok back to skating

 

[SpiffySpiders]

Kurt thinks Kailani would be a perfect ice dancer because of her expressiveness and pretty eyes.

Awww, she's so happy with her marks.

 

[TerpsichoreFS]

The audience could be warmer. Watch them go dead silent for Kaori and Satoko

 

[rollerblade]

Best Moulin Rouge program of the season. Yes that includes ice dance

LOL change your name to ruffledowl now!

Me at 21: “All I know is vodka with fruit juice is good. And if it’s cranberry, that’s called a Cape Cod!”
