2025 World Championships Women's Short Program

[Skating91]

Wow 73 with a 3T underrotated and the single jump on the q.

 

[Seven Sisters]

THAT goes ahead of Wakaba?! Really?!

 

[labgoat]

the second half stylistically, that kind of pseudo Latin jazz

part of the Breakfast at Tiffany's soundtrack

 

[Ziotic]

Georgia will still qualify for the Team event at the Olympics if they do well in the other events here, right?

Yes, they need to qualify in 3/4

 

[Skating91]

Kaori davai!!!

 

[museksk8r]

What? Ahead of Wakaba? Are you freaking serious??

 

[Axel Rose]

Who is the female commentator ? Her voice is so high. I miss the days where there were professional sportscasters.

 

[museksk8r]

Go Kaori!

 

[discodisco]

Isabeau looked clean and this program suits her

Nope. Not clean. At least one under rotated, possibly two. And definitely slow. But this might be my favorite program in terms of Packaging in the whole competition. Well done. Other skaters should take note

 

[Skating91]

Oh no

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Starting to feel like this even it cursed....

 

[bartlebooth]

Oh, no!

 

[Karoltyna]

I shouted...

 

[discodisco]

Isabeau is almost like the American Anna Shcherbakova (or Zhenya Medvedeva?) - Not the best technique, not even the best skating skills, but crazy levels of grit (and oh so expressive).
There are certainly skaters who are better athletes, but few who are better competitors.

Wow, now that I think about it, that's a perfect comparison.100% the American Medvedeva

 

[Skating91]

Kaori's jumps and especially combos have become problematic this season. This is a bad sign for the free skate. Still it's going to be over 70.

Georgia will still qualify for the Team event at the Olympics if they do well in the other events here, right?

Team event qualifications will technically still be ongoing up until the end of the year, but Georgia has very good chances, yes. Currently, there are many teams who only have a clear path at qualifying in two of the four disciplines, a few who could maybe squeak out one more, but few with clear qualification spots in three or four disciplines, so if Georgia can get spots in three disciplines here, they're basically in.

 

[museksk8r]

No, Kaori, a 2flip+3toe! Ugh, that might find her in the penultimate group with Amber. Who would have thought this would happen? Yikes!

 

[momrk]

I shouted...

me too

 

[FlossieH]

That was a very unusual mistake from Sakamoto. I think she will struggle to podium now even with a completely clean free.

 

[labgoat]

Starting to feel like this even it cursed....

Pressure takes a toll..dealing with it has a learning curve of its own
