2019 World Championships Ladies Free Skate

[moriel]

I didn't say it was I said it was working better for her.

Its not working better either
I mean, last year it was a silver after alina. Now, its bronze already, and thanks to rusfed.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Just wondering, does Kazhakstan have enough skaters to fill the quota for 3 ladies?

 

[sk8ath]

Man...that's crazy to think that if Rika and Kaori hadn't slipped up on that one element each they'd be silver and bronze [emoji24][emoji24]

At least they show other Japanese coaches that the technical ability is as important as artistry.

 

[leilaraj]

Is it different in pairs? Because Germany only got 2 teams this year although S/M won?

 

[anonymoose_au]

I wouldn't call Zhenya's current situation "flourishing"

Oh I don't know, Zhenya looks so happy I think she's turned a corner and that's fabulous!

 

[moriel]

I think Zhenya is happier about this world bronze than she was for her two world golds. D’awwww.

Actually it doesnt look like, whenever she doesnt know she is on camera, her face is pretty not happy. When she sees the camera is on her, she starts smiling.
You can see Liz and Alina smiling nonstop, while Zhenya has a pokerface most of the time.

 

[SNAKSuyun]

The judges aren’t all Japanese though.

Of course not. But by this logic, there would be no "home advantage" anywhere. And we all know that isn't true.

3 spots for Kazhakstan in 2020??

The reign of Aiza Mambekova begins NOW!

Man...that's crazy to think that if Rika and Kaori hadn't slipped up on that one element each they'd be silver and bronze [emoji24][emoji24]

If Rika had nailed her solo 3A I'm 100000% sure she would have scored 160 and won the whole thing. Oh well!

Aiza Mambekova and a few Juniors, but I don't think any of them would've had the minimums for this year.

About time they get decent sized medals at the worlds like they did last year. The previous medals didn't look so rewarding..

 

[Heleng]

Would have preferred a silver for Evgenia, of course, but so happy and relieved she’s on the podium. That’s a great accomplishment and start to this quad with the season she’s had. Congratulations to the medalists, and to the other ladies for a fabulous event overall. Being from the U.S., my personal highlight was Bradie.

 

[liberrhythm]

The only thing I understand on the Match Arena livestream commentary during the award ceremony is that Trusova and Shcherbakova's names keep being brought up lol

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Okay, now that it's over...

Kaori's finally gotten the PCS she deserves but Satoko's is an outrage and Japan, other host countries would have given Rika another 0.32 points in PCS in a heartbeat.

They would give her if they knew it was nedeed when she skated... If she skated when Kaori skated, they would give her Kaori's PCS, i'm sure of that...

Dude yes she does - stop being a hater. Your intentions are so obvious

 

[P44]

Rika was unbeatable internationally this season and she is not on the podium, just like James / Cipres

 

[frida80]

A little surprised that the 4S wasn't called <, but this technical panel has been quite lenient in general. Still, congrats to Alina, Elizabet, and Evgenia!

The panel was super lenient today. There were a lot of jumps that should've been called but after a certain point I just gave up.

 

[flanker]

Alina finally singing national anthem again, I'm crying

Maybe? They do have other skaters, but not sure if they can get the mininum TES required to go to Worlds.

Yep, you're right. We have seen exactly no improvement in her from the beginning of the season until now.

Who knows what exactly would have happened if she stayed with Eteri, but frankly I doubt she would be at Worlds to begin with. Even with RusFed's help.

Yeah I know! What was up with that?!

Oh I just saw Rika got a small silver I think! What happy news.
