2025 Grand Prix of France Women's Short Program

[Jeanie19]

Jia. Beautiful dress and program. Shame about the popped lutz, the rest was beautiful.

I am on my laptop and I see the score box fine... . you guys are so much older than I thought considering I am already old LOL

 

[Kris135]

Beautiful skate but that pop is going cost her dearly.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I am increasingly getting in a terrible mood, if my love Chaeyeon is unhappy with her skate as well I will go to bed

 

[Isk]

Hopefully Jia and her choreographer, presume it's David Wilson, will have a peek at the Chopin's comp for ideas. Sad she missed a jump.

Oh no, it's Jeffrey Buttle, sorry Jeffrey!

 

[Vemvane]

I enjoyed Jia's skate, even if she didn't get everything that she intended to do done. Pops the lutz, oh dear. Beautiful Ina Bauer across the diagonal into the 2A, down to the turn of her head. 3F-2T combination. Loved the way she reversed direction after her first set of twizzles in her step sequence; that whole step sequence was a thing of serene beauty.

Chaeyeon again has to save Korea

 

[Jumping_Bean]

So, I should just not put Jia in my predictions if I want her to place in the top 5, is that it? Okay, I'll keep that in mind for next time,

 

[YuBluByMe]

Although I wish Shin Jia would change it up a little, I do really like this SP for her. It’s a real shame about the pops. I wanted her to do well here.

 

[EdgeCall]

Phew, good save.

 

[Paulipau]

Gosh screaming again

 

[Karoltyna]

Aaaaaaaaalois!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[4everchan]

I only forgive Jeffrey on this because he is Jeffrey... But Chopin didn't care for the violin... If people want to use Chopin with strings, they can just use the Cello sonata or have a cello cover... At least, it would make sense.

But then, there is much worse on Earth... I'llllll let youuuuuuu gooooooooooo

Rooting for Kevin Chen so a Canadian wins a prize at Chopin Competition for the third time in a row. . Yes... I am as biased with Canadian pianists as I am with Canadian skaters

12. Elyce LIN-GRACEY USA
SP: "Broken Vow" by Lara Fabian, Walter Afanasieff, choreo by Drew Meekins

3Lz (too far back, steps out)
2A (slightly forwards)
FCSp4
3F+2T
StSq3
CCoSp4
LSp3

SP: 59.30 (4th)

I feel for Elyce, she had that breakout event on the Challenger Series last year and she's been struggling to live up to it ever since. She has a lot of great qualities and I think this program shows her off well, but the jumps just haven't been her friend recently. She's only 18 though, so she has loads of time to get her feet back under her. Like Jia, she just seemed a little nervy throughout, but she did well to come back with the flip.

 

[elektra blue]

better than at her challenger

 

[FlossieH]

Well rescued there by Elyce.

No Piotr Pawlak in finals, I'm in my riot era...
