2024 Grand Prix de France Women's Short Program

[Mariiiiskate]

What a shame that 3F went really off axis

Still much better than in skate America

 

[Jeanie19]

Lea. Beautiful dress. Good program. Shame about the fall on the flip, but still a good skate.

I'm sure there are people who are tired of hearing Riverdance, I always enjoy hearing it.

Riverdance is one my favored warhorses, but that also means that I have high standards

 

[Seven Sisters]

Hello everyone, is your stream jumpy as well? And didn't this commentator get fired last olympics?

You are thinking of the disgraced British Eurosport Uncle—but this is Mark Hanratty, an entirely different person

A much better programme for Léa this time out, even if the 3F is still not her friend. I think it put her off a little, as she dropped a level in her spin afterwards, but she has improved twelve points over Skate America, so a job well done.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Love to see Michael Huth being so supportive of Léa

 

[elektra blue]

a french film that's not Cherbourgh! curious and curiouser

 

[Jeanie19]

Wow. Her tech and components are exactly the same.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Let’s go Sumiyoshi!

 

[EdgeCall]

One stepout on the flip, otherwise a wonderfully smooth run. Well done! Interesting color combination too.

 

[elektra blue]

whoever picks this kind of music does such a disservice to these amazing girls...

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I love the depth of kneebend throughout Rion's program, and she's such a good performer as well. She may not have the same dynamism as Wakaba, but she is so thoughtful and considered and polished in everything she does. I love that layback spin on the music, such a shame about the silly mistake on the flip but even with that mistake, the GOE and levels on all elements, especially the spins and steps, are going to help her take the lead here. be virtually tied with our top two.

 

[readernick]

Huge step forward artistically from Rion IMHO. She's always been a very good skater but her programs were meh ... This was good.

 

[Jeanie19]

Rion. Gorgeous dress. Really nice program and skate.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Rion has a beautiful dress

Shame about the step out otherwise a really solid skate

Misha Ge did the short IIRC, and while he can do fantastic things his range of music choices isn't the widest, at least in my opinion

I think it fits her style. Don't know what Rion would do with AC/DC.

 

[LazyFuzai]

First time seeing her this season and this is some high level shit.Holy.The first 20 seconds are amazing with following 2A.Spins on point.The only problem is that Rion is allergic to clean skating so she has to blunder something.Also Stsq is not lvl 4 with 1.50 goe... Cmon.Its foot work need not hands and neck/head.Overall looks super promising for rest of the year.The dress is amazing as well.Good start.
