2023 JGP Bangkok Jr. Women's Free Skate

Very good skate though.

This program is much better suited for Sonya than the short but still she is not preforming much. Im kinda bummed about that cause she used to be such a great performer but I guess now her energy needs to be put into getting the elements done instead, hopefully that performance quality comes back as she comes back to her best form again. Its really nice seeing her rotating her jumps again.

Oh, the back of this dress is really cool. And I loved the beginning with the twizzles. She has a beautiful sensitivity and flexibility, which is highlighted wonderfully by this program selection. Her jumping technique is not the very best of the skaters we've seen, but she did very well here.

This is so messed up that no Russian skater is allowed, but someone who's coached by Plushenko is.

They don't break any rules.

Just checked and wow truly WTF

 

[icewhite]

They don't break any rules.

I know. My issue is with the rules which are very weird in praxis. But I know, it's not the place to discuss here.

That's why inwant more bodysuits on women. Her limbs/extensions deserve to be emphasized. And lovely, lovely skate! Balloon helped! On the second thought I shouldn't have bought red balloons!

Red balloons? How many do you have? I don't suppose you have 99 of them, do you?

Seriously, what's the story with the balloons? I've clearly missed an interesting conversation somewhere along the way.

Nothing to discuss, I don't disagree.

Nope! But I got red and yellow, when i should have gotten green!

Well, I hope that the judge we won't name who was propping Shi so hard at selections is happy with their decision to try to sink someone else, because they didn't like their background.

A mixed skate for Hetty, but she's still one of my favourite Canadian juniors. So much talent in such a small package, even if things didn't go fully to plan today.

 

[labgoat]

Good Morning! Hetty has a lovely feel for the music, a bit hit or miss with the jumps and elegant spins.

 

[lariko]

So... I had Shifrin 5th in my predictions... do I get any points for the 7th?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Time for my girls!

5 points

 

[lariko]

5 points

Nice! That's like 15 am gonna get... loooool

 

[labgoat]

I think Hetty skated to The Prayer not Anna Karenina

Just whisper this quietly in case somebody hears - she's from south of the border in Michigan.

I actually had a witty comment to add, but when I went to find a picture to accompany it, I discovered that I had spelled the character's name wrong, and the whole comparison didn't work any more with the correct spelling.

Anyway, lovely skate.
