2024 Skate Canada Women's Free Skate

[Ziotic]

I was just thinking it has been a while since I saw a good Chicago program.

Not the best outing but I LOvE this program.

Surely Kaori has too much of a lead from the SP. But that would be a disappointing way to win a GP...
Ice is cursed for real.

 

[skim1001]

She has a 20+ lead over Rino. Kaori still got this. Might need to rethink some changes

Not-so-fun fact of the day: I tried baking Kaori scones today using a scone mix! Unfortunately, they turned out like cookies because I didn't add enough mix to the water...

 

[MalAssada]

I must say, this event did not go like I expected!

I'm getting 1% of battery in the tablet..

Was nice , maybe her FS isn't my favorites but was nearly perfect except that fall that again i think was stability problem because speed of landing.

Speechly

 

[FlossieH]

That feels a bit like the end of the pairs did.

 

[Arigato]

What is going on here????

Life.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I had this weird premonition not to watch the women today and I kind of wish I’d listened to my gut…

 

[skim1001]

Japan. one. two. THREEE? I had that in my prediction

 

[4everchan]

Japan sweeps.
Top five skaters with red and white flags.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

I loathe this program for Kaori, it just doesn't suit her.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Speechless

Wow. Congrats to Kaori and Hana, but especially Rino! That's amazing for her!

 

[Sackie]

So Maddie had the 2nd highest Tes yet she doesn't medal - not fair!

 

[readernick]

Very time Kaori gets programs that challenge her from an artistic standpoint, she struggles technically. This happened when she got that wonderful No Roots program from Shae-Lynn. That time, she gave up. I hope this time she doesn't and really tries to grow artistically. But, anyway, she also needs to stop trying so many lutzes. Her lutzes aren't good. Go back to the previous layout.

 

[RafaelAstro]

Seems like japanese skaters who did great last season are very tired this season (Kaori, Hanna), and skaters who didn't do great are now giving everything (Wakaba, Rinka, Rino)

 

[lileychristie]

I'm surprised many people not liking Kaori's FS - am I the only one who love it?

I think the music actually suits her and she's having fun with it. To me she's still adjusting & getting used to her new jumps layout and that's why it feels like she's catching the beat. But once she nails it, I think it's gonna be amazing

Congrats on the gold Kaori, and for my baby to win the free skate
