2024 JGP Czech Skate Women's FS

[Layback11]

There's a skater in my novel-in-progress (about skating ofc lolol) who's kind of stuck in eternal junior-land but is markedly more refined and mature in his movements than his competitors to the point that it sticks out like a sore thumb. She's not senior eligible, but that general idea of "oh whoa this is a junior?" is the vibe I'm getting from Josephine in this free skate.

Get it, little queen All greens!

I know Rachmaninov is difficult to cut into a fs program, but they could have done a better job. Josephine probably too. But the black&white dress is quite appropiate for a piano concerto.

This dress is so elegant and unique! I love the program, she was performing the whole time. The choreo sequence was so well performed with such nuance! She avoids a 3+3 in the free, which is smart, but her lower BV and a few unders, along with missing the second 2A, are really going to hurt her TES score. However, her PCS should really help.

i can never get titred of Rach, but how many carrots will Josephine get?

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Not a bad skate by Josephine, definitely a few URs in there though and the little spin mishap. But she's a very mature skater, her PCS should be high. I actually love the dress too

Oh nonono... I have the most fabulous piece of comic music that includes this bit of the Rach, which means I always burst out laughing when it goes the proper way. And now I'm getting funny looks.

Was she doing a swan movement with her arms just before? Graceful but the dress is not swanlike.

The swan arms made me think huh?

Probably less than usual. At least I only saw a few.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wait did they score her Choreo sequence before she even finished it? Can they do that?

 

[FlossieH]

Nice skate from Josephine. Levels and lower value combos are going to hold her back compared to what she could have got.

Great, for the final group I'll be on the road I'll have to rewatch at home I guess. But it's finally vacation time, yaaaay! See you later!

 

[FlossieH]

They often enter things and then adjust them. Seems to be particularly common with choreo sequence. It doesn't need to have a level called by the technical specialists.

Way to go Josephine!!
Minor pet peeve: imv the tan line revealed on the open back dress is a minor distraction ..
And a detail easily rectified before a major event…

 

[labgoat]

I have 4 of the remaining girls in my top 5, but whether I have them in the correct order in usually the problem. I bet on Sarina as #5 instead of Josephine, Alica L or Polina D.

Late comment on Josephine Lee: Bad Rach cut, nice elegant dress that matches her style of skating, iffy jumps but held on, good performer but why was the choreo so swan-like... (swan arms in Rach? Really? And the ending pose was somewhat swan-y as well?)

I'm glad it wasn't just me...

Just woke up.... hello final flight... what timing

@elektra blue
I am consulting my Italian expert here - I am thinking of making Pasta Pomodoro from my home grown tomatoes, garlic and basil for dinner. Is it a bad thing to add either meatballs or chicken to get some badly needed protein?
