I actually love the wink, it's part of the performance and I think it works wellDoes anyone else find Isabeau's winks at the judges strange? The past two competitions I saw it on the move before her double axel. Today, I saw it at the end. It just throws me off.
I agree with the fact that the programme is a bit 'empty', but for example, i don't definitely agree with judge no 2 who gave her 6.25 for CO, and gave Janna 6.50, Kimmi 7.25 and Wakaba 8 in comparison.While I do like the armography and the music for Nastya, I do think that program could have more moves and steps in between the elements. So I tend to agree with YuBluByMe that many skaters tonight had better composition than her.
Isabeau should always be leading the field in CO, her programs are always the most complexThis is an example for good CO, at least for me (even i didn't enjoy it that much personally)
Protocols are up already.
Nastya's combo didn't end up downgraded or anything, it was called clean with +1.59 GOE.
Isabeau got a ! on her lutz which is correct, but I'm pretty sure that 3T was at least q....
Elektra, if look back into the thread you may notice that it was actually you getting triggered by the word "roses" and responding with the aggressive claim that this word is to be considered sexist. I would like to know where you got that idea from and what your definition of sexism is based on at all. But maybe we continue this discussion in a pm if you like, and not ruin the competition thread.No man has ever been related to this particular plant in this way, o to any other. Men too have had their fair share of reverse sexism (like when they have to be "masculine" no matter what. Like when they can't express their feeling to not be deemed as not men enough or worse gay. Etc.) Also we refer to a non consistent skater as a cactus regardless of the gender, so don't make comparison that don't have reason to exist only because you got triggered by the Word sexist
As ye sow, etc. Didn't help her much, did it? Thanks for that, Bord. Enjoy the event!I’m at the event - during the warmup Kimmie was whipping around the rink with no regard for anyone. It was disrespectful and showed signs of immaturity. And I was rooting for her.
her score came out almost immediately. Like no review is needed. As expected!Protocols are up already.

She was probably just very stressed and im the zone, no need to crucify her right away.I’m at the event - during the warmup Kimmie was whipping around the rink with no regard for anyone. It was disrespectful and showed signs of immaturity. And I was rooting for her.
It was. Out of six jump elements across two program, there have been big problems with the landings in three of them but zero called by the judges. It gives a massive advantage when a skater know they can make errors on half their jump elements but for it to have little effect on their score. Puts opponents under massive pressure because they have to be perfect to keep up.
She was probably lucky that the lutz wasn't an edge callI don’t really think these screenshots are proving any points and I think you’re intentionally misleading…
If you’re very strict, maybe this is a Q.
But, she only got +0.17 GOE on this combo. -1s through +1s. Gubanova (rightfully) got more points with her 3F3T combo (+1.59 GOE) . However, Gubanova had issues with levels.
And let’s not be obtuse, this was certainly a lot more rotated than Haein’s <, which should’ve been called <<. Haein has scored much higher than Isabeau in the past, and could still do so with more rotated jumps.
The issue isn’t Isabeau’s calls. If other skaters skate clean, they can obviously beat her, just like they have in the past.
Have deleted comment - wasn’t crucifying just making an observation. I won’t do it again ..She was probably just very stressed and im the zone, no need to crucify her right away.
I'm sure all the skaters are stressed and in their own zone, but her poor sportsmanship was evident. A disappointing surprise.She was probably just very stressed and im the zone, no need to crucify her right away.
