Ladies Short Program

[sillylionlove]

I think that at some of the past competitions, the judges have really inflated the scores...so maybe they are not being that stingy???????



:scratch:

 

[dgel]

great programme from Kostner- really suited her

 

[Kinga]

Mao - impressive jumps. But artistically I am still missing something.. She has no magic to me. Arm work is not the best. She has long way to go to reach Kwan's, Cohen's a Lu Chen's level.. Maybe when it will come with age, because she has the ability, that's for sure.

Yu-na can easily beat mao's score. She actually did in GPF, with a 3-1 combo

Dissapointed the judges didn't go with Mao. Pity she scored same as last year with a poor SP

Carolina Kostner

OMG Carolina is FIRST :O

 

[BelleFilleYuna]

oooo seems kinda low. Did they call ur on the combo? I also am concerned she didn't hold that first spiral position long enough.

It seems Mao got level 1 on her spiral sequence.
Announcers from SBS are also commentating on protocols, maybe they're able to see it live from the arena.

Can someone give the standing so far? Thanks.

 

[Kinga]

Hmmmm, but that is strange! Kostner in front Mao????

But then again the only skaters today who can come close to that Kwan/Cohen/Lu level are people like Meier and Rochette and maybe even Kim.

Ashley Wagner
Henry VIII
Simple blue dress with some silver sparkles

Go Ashley!
3(f)Z-2R, secure
Spiral into 2A, difficult entrance
Layback, fast and good positions into Biellmann
Spiral sequence, good extensions and speed
Choreo into flying sit spin...
And I lost my feed. Boo.

I agree. Meier and Yuna are gorgeous

kostner in front of mao? wat's happening?

Kostener amazing speed and flow, Mao I'll bet gets an incorrect edge call on the lutz. good judging..

I love the agressive side of Ashley's skating. She is so fierce. And I adore her hairdo.

3 flip no probs
footwork slow, but complex
final combo spin, fine

Ok, but Kostner did a mistake too, and I am not even convinced that her lutz was fully rotated

 

[sillylionlove]

Any more updates on Ashley?
