[TheBallerina]

Oh my...and this is how my predictions are going Down again

 

[WeakAnkles]

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again...

well fill in the blank with YOUR favorite retired skater...

(hey it will fill up that Zamboni time!).

 

[Amer]

Not looking good for Viveca.....

 

[flanker]

As competition goes on, I cannot help myself but I think Dasha's PCS was quite lowered in comparison with others...

 

[DanseMacabre]

Wait I wasnt paying attention, who has the TES lead at the moment?

But I actually wish my ears couldn’t hear if we have to listen to this! [emoji56]

Nah. Her PCS is fine. Not a clean skate, relatively weak basic skating skills, not exactly a TR-packed programme, no real performance (and IE was also non-existent), and composition was lackluster (why that spin to open?). Marks are fair.

 

[tosca]

Well, has Angela even gone to any challengers? It's early in the season.

Yes.. Finlandia where she placed 8th. just 5pts over Pooja.

 

[ancientpeas]

Somewhere the skating Gods hate me.. Two POTO programs? And this singer sounds like she imitating my least favourite singer of all time Sarah Brightman.

 

[andromache]

Kesha has had a really hard life over the past few years and has kind of transformed herself and her music, from my limited understanding? (Husband is a big pop music fan.) "Praying" is new Kesha.

Poor Viveca aka Christine Daae 1.0 is fighting for every jump today. That dress is gorgeous and I really like her skating.

"The whole world loves this music" no TAT, it does not :roll5:

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Viveca's dress is

She captures the feeling of this song much better than Gracie did

 

[nocturnalis]

I don’t know how she is expected to land that jump with that entry.

Someone tell TAT that in this small part of Canada someone hates it with every fiber in her being..

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh dear, rough skate for Viveca Lindfors...

And oh right, this isn't the only POTO for today.

 

[TheBallerina]

Did anybody have a better SS than level 2?

Daria's PCS was low at Skate Canada too. But her PCS was always low, in juniors too. She made up the difference in TES.

Viveca Was hoping for better after her Challengers.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Step seqencies Levels so far: :roll5:
Level 4: 0
Level 3: 1 (only Panenkova)
Level 2: 2
Level 1: 2

If you discount the fact that the choreography pretty much ignores all the musical highlights...

 

[Zhafiraiha]

Is POTO really that good to skate to? I feel like almost everyone’s skated to POTO at least once in their lives

Dasha doesn‘t quite sell the program yet. She seems very tense. Her score was lower than I personally would have expected but it‘s not too unfair. Overall, the harsh judging continues. Will be interesting to see whether it holds up to the final group or not.
