2024 World Championships Women's Short Program

[FlossieH]

I hate to say it, but I think that goes behind Loena, Levito and possibly Haein

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Probably nor above Lena, sadly, but she will be first in the long program, hopefully, and win

 

[Ichatdelune]

Hmm unexpected

 

[Ares]

Not as good as Sakamoto can be but should still be third at worst I think. Rather unexpected problems during the program.

 

[Mozartistique]

Good skate for Kaori, howether we've seen her jump cleaner. nice save !
She keeps herself in the contention for gold.

 

[auser]

Love Kaori's skating even when not perfect but so athletically lovely.

 

[onrsvm]

4th place wooow it's gonna be bloodbath :O

 

[Skatingcat]

Oh I am glad for the the otherr skaters but I really wanted Kaori to win tonight.

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

FOURTH? Why? Second was fair. 4th unfair.

 

[FlossieH]

Disappointing, but that's a fair score. I would have put her there too.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Omg I did not expect that...

Sakamoto’s score was generous. 3F two-footed on replay. Bro, the figure skating newbie, rightfully called that she will end up in fourth.

 

[Ares]

Ok, Sakamoto 4th after the SP, tiny differences between 2nd and 4th and then not a huge gap either.

Nina Povey first outside the FS.

 

[GGFan]

Can someone please catch me up on where Tonia Kwiatkowski has been and how she got this commentating job? It's such an awesome blast from the past but an unexpected one.

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

Why, why didn't I stick with my original prediction for Loena winning?! I love Loena's programs, and I really did not like Kaori's programs this season. Ahhh! I chickened out with my prediction.

 

[LazyFuzai]

We need a serious talk with judges about Yy and Chaeyeon(espiecially her) not having 70 is criminal there.Killing their podium chances just like that...

Gonna be interesting fight for all 3 medals between first four.Rest is out.

Great last group,but overall wasn't the best competition to be honest.See everyone at free.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Omg.....if the placements of the ladies for the USA stay the same, or if only one moves down one place, USA will get 3 spots next year for ladies!

 

[labgoat]

Nina Povey first outside the FS.

She was so very close

 

[readernick]

Honestly, fair, Isabeau, Haein, and Loena were better than Kaori today. Unpopular opinion but I think Isabeau may actually deserve to be first. Everyone else got some very generous calls in the last group.
