2021 Skate America: Women's Free Skate

[ladykk]

I don't associate pastel pink with Turandot....

 

[yume]

Frankly, I don't really find her very outstanding at all, especially amongst the other Russians, and I'm really failing to see how she was ahead of yelim in the short (not that it matters at this point but...just saying).

She was more outstanding when she was in better shape. Hopefully she will get more strength.

I label this music choice a big Turandon't.

Why? This is quite a nice version. Are the pronouns in the lyrics all male?

Gasp step-out!

 

[Jontor]

Oh shoot! There goes the medal Daria....

 

[4everchan]

I think this is the first time I've seen Daria struggle a little.

Lovely

 

[kmw227]

Oh Daria noooo. Still a lovely skater but those mistakes will be costly.

 

[EdgeCall]

Oy, will this be enough?

 

[elektra blue]

i mean singing opera is not for everyone, you can sing it taking a shower but not record it, for all the gods sake!

Too many back flexibility moves in Dasha's programs. Sometimes less is more.
