Ladies - SP

[Medusa]

I really don't get a Tango feeling from her. I don't expect her to pull a Suzuki, but still. Kostner does a better Tango in my opinion...

 

[Alicja]

Korpi's 3Lo was downgraded, wasn't it?

BERTON
3 toe with after it turn
3 loop fall
2 axel

nice spin positions

 

[Medusa]

Berton had a not so good outing - but have you seen that layback? That's only the second "American" layback this day, apparently they don't teach those here in Europe. Her spins are great anyway, perhaps some of her ancestors are from Switzerland?

Berton 41.94

SEBESTYEN

3 flip

1 axel

shame about the popped 2 axel

 

[Alex]

Granny on ice!!! Nice hair there...

*crossing fingers*

Song from a secret garden....

HUUGE 3 flip... tight landing though
HUUUUUUUGE 3z-2t
wonderful camel to Plush variation...
even spirals are better than usual
Noooooooooo... SIngle axel again!
layback to catch foot
Libertango for the circle step sequence
camel to sit, change foot to a strange-looking bielman..

Such a shame for that single axel... it's amazing how she does triple lutzes like these, and no double axels..

 

[Medusa]

The height on those jumps! Incredible.

I enjoyed that performance, it was nice.

But was the Triple Lutz a bit short of rotation? The Triple Flip was clean...

And I was right - the Triple Lutz was downgraded.

PÖYKIÖ

i reallty loved the skating of Pöykio and Lepistö iam not as fond of -korpi's skating.
Iam n ot even finnish but they are so graceful and are my favourites in europe i think.

 

[figuristka]

YAY for Jenna iam born in UK actually. Good for her.

 

[Alex]

Wow..... Just four skaters over 50. Yikes!

*crossing fingers for a clean skate from Poykio tomorrow*
