2021 JGP France II: Women's Free Skate

[Jontor]

They say that you can't win the competition in the short, but you can clearly lose it. Ji and and Yun proved that today.

this man needs to learn how to speak through his mask LOL

I am sad that Seoyeon is going to be fourth again.

Like I know they did make mistakes in the SPs but I'm still very much sad that neither Seoyeon nor Ahsun got a JGP medal this season, both are deserving (at least to my extremely biased eyes)

 

[elektra blue]

time for me to go, for real this time. see you tomorrow! love you all!

 

[Jontor]

lovely skater... not sure I like her jumping technique... but who am I to judge?

Yes, I was think about her technique, and somehow she reminded me of Kostornaia which is probably totally wrong. But there was something...

 

[Lzbee]

Wow!!! Breaking 200 on her international debut!

Honestly great to see another US lady with strong competition nerves, Alysa is in good company leading the next generation with Isabeau.

 

[Seven Sisters]

The only criticism I would have is she seems to really lose speed going into her jumps.

She’s actually better with that than she used to be—she used to come almost to a dead stop before takeoff. She does still have a way to go on this.

 

[Jammers]

Whoever worked on Alysa's skating skills and speed and made those huge improvements in a matter of months to her skating needs to work with Isabeau because that lack of speed and hesitation into her jumps can't continue as she grows and her body changes. There is time though to improve i remember how slow Evgenia was early in her Junior years and while she was never speedy on the ice she did get a bit faster.

And now, at 4:14 am, I go to bed. Thank you lovely folks for keeping me company and helping me stay awake for my girls, see you tomorrow

She makes the windmill arms move look so nice. What a competitor. She may skate like Sasha Cohen but she's got Zhenya's nerves of steel, even with slightly wobbly looking jumps. She does have exceptional air position which should help her going forward.

I love love love her elusion spin. Best I've ever seen. A medal to the choreographer as well. The jumping technique is a a problem area.

Ah, this is the first time I've seen her (I also watched her SP to catch-up this morning).
If she's already improved from almost stopping, then I'm sure she'll continue to work on the speed.

That would be Mr Jeremy Abbott, and yes, I agree…

 

[Lzbee]

Oh man these glass thingies make me nervous

 

[yume]

I rewatched Shcherbakova first SP in JGP and i can't help to see the similarities with Isabeau. But there is less leg grab.

Decanters again!

 

[momrk]

and I see they are giving these young girls those ever-useful decanters again

 

[frida80]

And now, at 4:14 am, I go to bed. Thank you lovely folks for keeping me company and helping me stay awake for my girls, see you tomorrow

Get some rest! See you tomorrow!

My final comment from watching closed captions. When Ted introduced the last skater it came up "is about the veto." I really enjoyed the whole set of skaters in this free skate. And enjoyed reading the comments from my fellow Golden Skaters. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all the skaters and everyone who made it possible to spend a few hours of bliss watching skating again.

 

[yume]

Got 1, 3 and 4 right
I'm happy after my result of last week.

Am I the only one who don’t think flowers are necessary for medal ceremonies?
