2021 JGP France II: Women's Short Program

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh no she is bleeding poor girl

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Christ, she is bleeding. Auch.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh lord she's bleeding

 

[4everchan]

sigh... i should not have changed my predictions... my update is messing up my chances again to get more than 15 points in women LOL...

 

[snowflake]

Ouch!, the ring must be to small for her...

Is the rink here smaller than Swedish hockey rinks?

This is not what Julia had expected. Sad for her.

 

[Vemvane]

Aaaahhhh, unexpected fall from Julia, and her elbow was scraped and bleeding. She was able to put it behind her pretty fast; I'm sure that the two-footed 3T in combination was a result of being rattled from the fall, but she managed to keep going. Well done to her for getting right back on track!

 

[Jontor]

OK, loved the top three. It's great that there is some talent out there to give the Russians/Japanese girls some competition.

Danse Macabre in an Elsa-like dress, interesting

it's a shroud

there's still the free, things could change a bit

 

[lariko]

Julia deserved all the props for just standing back after a crappy fall and doing it.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

closing ghoul! 3/3

I was actually wondering what had happened the third one. I was starting to think I had missed it.

And after that fall, I bet Julia is wishing she had missed it too! Boys, but that looked sore.

But, fair play to her for continuing on. It must be distracting to feel your arm getting wet from blood.

Hope things go better for her in the Free.

I also managed to miss Niina from Estonia (as opposed to Nina from Belgium), so I need to watch her and Kaiya. And then I'm going to rewatch Isabeau

There's a plan

did you think she moved on?

 

[Ichatdelune]

I'm kinda winded from cheering for my girls, may Chaeyeon do as well as she did today and Ahsun and Seoyeon have clean skates. If I appear in the junior men's thread it means I've given up on sleep, I haven't decided yet. Decisions, decisions...

come on, join us, who needs to sleep when there's figure skating to watch? dreadful costume and music choices to comment?

Overall, good last group.
I think Isabeau's TES is a confirmation that scores and not placements are what will qualify skaters for JGPF. The GOEs on the 2A and combo were definitely generous.
But she's refined. Very polished. Deserved PCS.
Didn't bet on the right Korean. At least i have good chances for the first place in my predictions

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

elektra, darling, your puns are getting worse.

So, maybe it's a good thing that I am bailing out now.

Unfortuantely, that is the end of my LIVE skating watching for this week. It's a MotoGP weekend, which means that unlike last week, I will be occupied on Friday. And, because it's the British Grand Prix, everything is happening an hour later than normal. So, no sneaking a bit of skating in between the coverage ending and tea time.

But, I'll try to get some programmes fitted in here and there over the weekend if I can, to prevent a rush to get them watched before the action starts at Košice.

Hope you enjoy the rest of Courchevel II

ISABEAU I think that answers questions anyone had about how an international panel would judge her. Even better than domestic panels She was stunning!

 

[ice coverage]

I haven’t seen Isabeau Levito before, but it was wonderful. I wonder if she is one of the new gen quad jumpers in USA.

Isabeau Levito has attempted quad toe in competition. But I don't know whether she plans to try it here.

... And she is coached by Naomi Nari Nam!!! ...

Side note, lest anyone get confused: Josephine Lee is coached by both Amy Evidente and Naomi Nari Nam.

Amy was the coach with Josephine in the Kiss and Cry.

(But no problem if CL_fan is a Naomi fan and just wanted to mention Naomi.)

 

[Ziotic]

I already have an issue if they use only scores to qualify a JGPF.
Kaiya for example skated almost the same as last week and scores 4pts higher.
And with the season progressing scores will only get higher.
