2025 World Championships Women's Free Skate

[jorge2912]

You know, I’m sitting here just reminiscing how the USFSA basically dumped Alysa Liu at the Nationals going into the last Olympics and she was picked over for the team event in favor of Karen Chen, who didn’t skate well in either portion, thus missing out on a team Olympic medal. However, Alysa got her revenge by winning a bronze medal at that year’s World Championships and now this result. The greatest revenge is success.

Always time is the best witness and justice take time but it this was the day which arrived that justice

Wait, the results show Amber ahead of Isabeau???

Wow, what a comeback story - from scratch in the beginning of the season to world champion

Congrats to Alysa!!! Did anyone put her first in their prediction?

After the SP maybe a medal but this? No. I'm in shock. But a very sweet moment!!!!!

I don't think she will. She's skating for herself now, and she's always been a gritty competitor.

Exactly, Alysa has matured now and she gives zero fcuks what other people say or think about her now.

Only in the FS.

Alysa Liu may be the chillest person in the world, just unbelievable composure.And she is so adorable too, I am really happy for her despite being a Kaori fan, she was fantastic and deserves her moment. Happy for Mone too, I am loving this podium.

 

[FunsizedFlier]

She does the cartwheel this time hahaha! Incredible

Amber did beat Isabeau in the FS, but she was too far behind in the SP to beat her overall.

After Kaori skated I thought the contest was over. She was not only tech-perfect but performed the heck out of that program.

Then Alysa -- I couldn't believe my eyes!

 

[jorge2912]

I think the soundtrack for this amazing event and the 1st place of Alysa is Alegria by cirque de soleil.. is the right song for celebrate Alysa comeback and triumph.

Like a queen who was absent and in our mind we missed it

 

[yelyoh]

US women 1,4, 5. Japanese 2, 3, 6. Six spots total for next year. Cool!!!!

Kaori should have had a higher score in the FP.

I agree Alyssa winning across the two programs.

And that I can agree to wholeheartedly. Kaori's pop in the Short made up the missed UR call for Alysa and they didn't call any of her Kaori's Lutzes either.
It's just that the standard for whether the judging is okay shouldn't be at the bare minimum (i.e. skaters in the right order). Else we don't need the IJS anymore and can go back to the 6.0 system, it serves that purpose not much worse than the IJS does.

 

[discodisco]

it was absolutely deserved.

I know, I totally agree I meant it facetiously, as in, who the heck is this skater coming out of nowhere with the audacity to beat Sakamoto and everyone else?! Her team was very smart in choosing these two programs this year. But you had to have the right skater to pull it off that's for sure, and that was alyssa, because all throughout the season her Joy skating that program has been infectious and authentic.

This wretched drought is finally all the way over after 19 years I haven’t felt like this since my girl Susan Lucci won that Emmy after 19 nominations
