Livia blending with the ice...

fauns need to camo to hunt

Sara-Maude is such a nice girl... how can you not warm up to her ? She has brilliant attitude...

I am cold to lukewarm towards a ton of skaters who are beloved by many, if I were to list them all I'd be publicly branded as a even bigger weirdo than I already am. Add to that the list of skaters I adore yet are received coldly by others and people will send me to Alpha Centauri because I am obviously not human

Technically, that was a superb skate (aside from the axel pop). I think the program has a lot of potential - I love the music and the choreography - but I think it needs more time, she dropped the performance and choreo a lot heading into the jumps.

she delivered

That was another very solid, but very snoozy, skate. I'm not sure that I've ever seen Livia skate before, but I found myself rather distracted by the way that she used her arms. She also does not have great posture.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Wow Yeaji is gaining international recognition (as she should), music is of course lovely and the choreo itself is nice, however my cold, dead heart did not find her interpretation of it to be touching

 

[4everchan]

great jumps... great music ... great dress... didn't feel a connection from skater with music/audience... hopefully she gets there later this season... i was zzz

 

[labgoat]

Livia uses her hands and head to accent this music. She has such a leggy look but with a lot of bent legs. Very beautiful program that suits her languid style. Solid content delivered.

 

[readernick]

I think Livia's coach and choreographer are trying to turn her into Carolina Kostner with this program. She does have the basic qualities needed (not quite that level of SS, but good enough) but she really doesn't perform yet.

That said, I loved Carolina and Livia is definitely my favorite swiss skater.

Go Mone!
She is my favorite of the group - sorry Elyce-Lyn

i don't think she can get there.

Caro was stellar in this program.... I think i still prefer Kimmy at this point... I never liked her skating in juniors but last year at worlds... she convinced me...

I thought Lin was her first surname?

 

[4everchan]

now.. if you want to talk about super tacky music... Mone is in the running for sure... but she makes it work... another save here..

Simply stunning. The choreography, the skating skills, the jumps... and yet, I expect this program to get better as the season goes on. I can't wait to see the first lutz landed on the music. I am genuinely still in awe of the depth of edge and distance in her difficult turn clusters in the step sequence.

that layback is Mone
