2021 Worlds: Ladies' Short Program

[brakes]

Is it me or ladies deliver big time, today?
I was expecting post-pandemic tragedy on ice, instead they rock!

If Dick Button was still commenting, Kurakova would be the new cupcake.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oh Katia, unusually cautious on the jumps but the performance was still great... I’m worried it won’t be enough though.

 

[EdgeCall]

Arrgh, what a pity for the 3Lz. She still has her abundance of star appeal, but looks a bit undertrained. Understandable, but tragic.

The music choice is special.

 

[Ella339]

Pandaguy stream can't handle the stream of new viewers

 

[skylark]

Katia should be wearing a bright blue or turquoise dress, or even hot pink or red! Nice final 30 seconds or so, it expressed the music well.

 

[flanker]

I don't know if I should feel sad for Katia or happy for Eliška, who will go to free thanks to that.

 

[moonvine]

Whose the commentator? Anyone know? He’s doing a great job. He’s even calling wrong edges and URs.

Which commentator?

 

[Fluture]

I think it's about time for her to look for a new coach. She should be way better than she has been. Oh she already did? Well, another new coach.

She couldn‘t train with her coach for an entire year and has been doing her best during a stressful time, that‘s so unnecessarily harsh but whatever.

One of the old British Eurosport uncles, isn’t he?

l loved those guys! My favorite announcers ever.

 

[anonymoose_au]

It will already be midnight by the time Kailani skates!

Ooo yeah that's right...

Alas the Empress will have to go on without me. But hey! With any luck I'll dream about the skaters and can cheer them on from there

Current Qs
Haein LEE
Madeline SCHIZAS
Loena HENDRICKX
Olga MIKUTINA
Jenni SAARINEN
Josefin TALJEGARD
Alina URUSHADZE

And all of them except Loena are at worlds for the first time

And I think it’s the first time a Swedish lady qualifies for the free since 2015(Joshi)

Which commentator?

Hannerty on ISU stream

 

[Shayuki]

I used to be a big fan of Kurakova's when she was back in Russia, but ever since she changed countries, she's been nowhere near as good as she was. Not in terms of jumps, not in terms of skating skills(not even close), not in terms of performing.

 

[readernick]

[!

He is banned for reasons that any country with a sense of decency would ban him for, so yeah, let's not glorify him.
[/QUOTE]

I mean I don't disagree. I really meant that as a criticism of the ISU's lack of protocols in this regard ( and in fact many skating federations don't even have a body like safe sport in their country) which allows him to attend Worlds.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

You all know that I love Katia.

But, that music did not do her justice. It was a mess. And unfortunately, the skating was a bit of a mess too.

Katia, PLEASE don't keep this programme for next season. You deserve better than this.

You are not a 17th position with 17 to go skater.

He was/is!

Gotta love the British.

Aww poor Katia I hope she can do it at Neblehorn!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Oh, Karen... please do well!
JASON!!!

 

[MsLayback]

Let's go karen!!
