2023 Skate Canada Women's Free Skate

[Seven Sisters]

Fabulous music choice, expression; so deliberate, unhurried—a good way. Impressive technical skills, too. Wonderful!

My favorite Korean lady.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Her step sequence was such a moment but I wish her choreographer hadn’t put in quite so many blade grab moments, started to get repetitive — ah, did Mark just say it was Benoit?

Which VPN are you using?

I recommend paid version of Proton. I believe there are other good ones as well.

Paid version of Proton. Finally, finally got it to work. It refused to log me out and (inserts long, exhausting chain of tech issues here) but I finally am connected again through Cambodia lol.

Kim Chaeyeon is always steady, but her performance level depends on the program. She skated through the music with little expression. Some of the jumps were squirrely, but the step sequence was very good.

Ok, good attempt but the dress crown goes to Japan this time.

i have to disagree with you this time

Were her legs giving out a little bit there? Is she ok? Seemed like she isnt the same as yesterday...

I'm going to break my earlier tune and say I think her artistry and choreography is a little forced, but not that its particularly poor or anything. Just, in regards to the sophistication, sincerity and cadence of artistry I still hold Madeline at the highest today.

i believe nerves got to her

200+!

Come on Kao-chan!

 

[lariko]

What was that 3rd in free???

 

[lileychristie]

Oh Chaeyeon's FS is lower than Maddie and Rino?? I wonder what brought her score down....

 

[FlossieH]

I was worried for a moment when that 3 came up for her free. Still 1st overall!

 

[cailuj365]

There's something about Chayeon's free leg that irks me, like it just hangs. Another program that doesn't really connect very well with the audience, but I can appreciate the difficulty of the transitions and choreography.

 

[EdgeCall]

Show'em Kaori!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Haha Chaeyeon's coach's reaction!

Kaori!! She's looking very chic!

 

[4everchan]

Fabulous music choice,

Really? there was no music in there..

 

[GGFan]

I'm glad they rewarded Rino in PCS.

 

[lariko]

Wow, they really dressed Sakamoto as a Grande Dame of FS she is

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I'm glad they rewarded Rino in PCS.

I actually have surprisingly few complaints about PCS in women here. Maybe a half-point higher or lower here and there, but overall, not too bad from the judges.

 

[momrk]

Great score, well deserved!

URs, and apparently she lacks extensions because she started FS later than most women do

 

[lariko]

Really? there was no music in there..

Better than preceeding saccharine wail in the night
