2024 Skate Canada Women's Free Skate

[jorge2912]

Overwhelmed because she was perfect, a beautiful FS and that mean beyond the beauty in itself

Wow. Rino. It was as if she was the stream flowing through the music. It was as if the elements were only created to be about the music. That was a gorgeous, gorgeous skate.

RINO!!!! So beautiful, her skating skills and glide

 

[Skatingcat]

Rino takes the lead by a LOT!

 

[Demandred]

Incredible skate by Rino. Excellent jumps and marvellous skating skills and presentation. Shame she is so far back after the short and doesn't have a shot at a medal.

Katya's "Cats" skate was the most charming, the most catlike "Cats" skate I've seen. She gave it 100 percent! Wonderful redemption skate.

Arabelle Sear-Watkins at the advanced(?) Novice GB nationals a few years ago still has it for me. Most people have never seen it, though!

Well deserved!!!

Go Sarah Maude!!! Beautiful dress

 

[saine]

It's okay Sara-Maude, lutzes are fake.

 

[4everchan]

gosh those judges just don't want to give sarah-maude any green.

 

[FlossieH]

I'm sorry Canadians, but Rino goes ahead overall for me...

 

[4everchan]

i am not happy.. judges are really picking on Sarah-Maude. Some of these jumps may not have the best flow but whatever...

 

[4everchan]

I'm sorry Canadians, but Rino goes ahead overall for me...

for sure. Don't be sorry for us. We appreciate good skating and Rino was a delight to watch.

 

[Jeanie19]

Sara-Maude. Beautiful green dress. Good program and skate.

 

[skylark]

Catya was better than Catteo ?

um ... you've lost me

 

[Ares]

Dupuis fought through hard. She saved some jumps, the rotation looked iffy to me on many and some landings were wobbly.

 

[FlossieH]

i am not happy.. judges are really picking on Sarah-Maude. Some of these jumps may not have the best flow but whatever...

A lot of them weren't fully rotated. That's cost her a lot in both TES and GOE.

 

[saine]

I'm sorry Canadians, but Rino goes ahead overall for me...

I wasn't expecting Sara-Maude to go ahead based on her jump base value, so no need to be sorry

 

[4everchan]

um ... you've lost me

a joke is never good when it gets explained. Don't worry about my silly banter
