2021 Worlds: Ladies' Short Program

[Vilord]

Josefine interview
She really enjoyed her skate and is really pleased with her performance.
She feels the spinns where really good and she is happy with how she performed and happy with the PB
Happy to see some swedish falgs in the stands and support
Was really nervoous before and was almost late to the warm up.
Was nervousf for the 3F and was relived when she landed it. But after that she refocused for the rest of the program.
The goal was to skate clean and enjoy the experience.
She is unsure if it will be enough for the free since the field is so tough but hope she will know after the next two groups.

go Julia, go haein! go auntie Eliska!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh lord I'm so nervous for Haein already, I still can't believe her first senior competition is Worlds

 

[readernick]

One of my little favorites Haein Lee is in this group. I heard she had a terrible practice today so I am hoping she can keep in together in the SP.

Question (sorry if it's been asked before) - how does Olympic qualification work again for countries vying for 1 spot? Can I calculate how high Loena needs to end up to qualify Belgium for 1 Oly ladies spot? Thanks! (So sad about the fall on the flip!)

There is a new rule for the olympic qualification. From worlds directly you can't gain more entries than there are skaters here. So if if Belgium has one lady here. they can't get more spots at the olympics even if she would gain more entries for the next worlds. But but she would finish up to 10th place, another belgian skater would gain the right to attend the second phase of the qualification at Nebelhorn (though I'm not sure the country have another skater on that level).

 

[Vilord]

It's not Lotta Falkenbäck! I think you are confusing her voice with Katarina Hultings?

Oh wow. They sound the same. But then I might stay around since I finalyy got some HD

 

[anonymoose_au]

Plushy wore opaque tights under a dress?

Not sure about that although he did famously wear a costume that converted into a dress (this is totally true, I'm not even joking )

 

[CellarDweller]

Ok, skaters are on the ice now.

 

[elektra blue]

Oh lord I'm so nervous for Haein already, I still can't believe her first senior competition is Worlds

But brens, for you and I to teleport into a virus hotspot like Stockholm and teleport back into our relatively virus-free country would be a disaster.

Oh yes, don’t wanna be the blame for the next lot of lockdowns, especially since I have a job that is all over Brisbane and Sunshine Coast

 

[flanker]

BTW Leung withdrew.

 

[Colonel Green]

So looking over who's to come in the remaining groups, I can see three skaters I'd predict as non-qualifiers automatically (so Loena, Jenni and Josefin would be in) plus another three I have some reservations about.

 

[elektra blue]

Julia is another one of my children i have to get some chocolate for her skate too, just in case

 

[ancientpeas]

Any chance of getting any jaunty tunes out of the ladies in this flight?

 

[readernick]

Unfortunate mispronunciation of Schizas, dude...

What is the correct pronunciation? I really like her and would like to pronounce her name correctly...

 

[flanker]

We will see Eliška Březinová now. Iˇm not sure she can make it to the free.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Brits cheering for Natasha!

I'm listening to two Englishmen on the TV, and they are being very supportive for Natasha. So I can imagine Mark will be laying it all on for his fellow Scot!

I was finishing off my TV Schedule post this morning, and I feel really sorry for Polish skating fans. Whereas the rest of us are getting 3 hours of LIVE Men's FS coverage on Eurosport's linear channels, Eurosport Polska viewers are getting only 25 minutes LIVE.



CaroLiza_fan

We Poles are sneeky people tho.

Also there is a live covereage of the whole competition on eurosport Player

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Any chance of getting any jaunty tunes out of the ladies in this flight?

Depending on if you consider Never Tear Us Apart a jaunty tune...

 

[karne]

Any chance of getting any jaunty tunes out of the ladies in this flight?

Alina's bright magenta-topped onesie looks promising.
