Ladies Free Skate

[Kutien]

Alena is the best =)
I` am sure Elene will get bronze =)

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

That Reitmayerova is a lovely skater. So much better than Leonova

I mean seriously, how the hell can Elene's PCS higher than Zhang & Ashley. She's so rough. It seems to me the Europeans will just put any girl who doesn't land on their butt to the podium, Carolina Kostner, cough, cough.

The truth is European lady skaters simply can't jump, but they still want to get ahead of Americans and Japanese, the only thing they can do is to count on their judges.

Those evil Eastern European judges also held up Caroline Zhang yesterday. It's obvious they are totally biased.

How is giving caroline three points below her usual pcs is holding her up

Elene's not doing too well

 

[BelleFilleYuna]

I like Leonova, she obviously has a lot of work ahead of her but her joy of skating is infectious!!

I hope Zhang could medal here, I hoped she would win and be the comeback qween but well......

I know you guys may have touched on this topic. How do japan select their junior team : bottom 2 from their nationals?

At least she can take home the Sp gold medal.

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also find leonova's high pcs odd after seeing her performance which is the definition of sloppy but it was energetic.

I'm glad Elena sort of bombed. Even I like her skating style, I'll root for her to fall as she's part of the European problem.

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

Oops. Elene is back to form.

 

[HCOSurfer]

I only caught a few parts. She fell on the 3Z, popped the 3F, and I think 2-footed the 2A. She did a beautiful 3-tano-Z in the middle though.

ETA: It was a 2-tano-Z, my mistake.

 

[COP]

Without judges' favorism, these European girls will have ZERO chance.

 

[GiuliaPlum]

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as I said before, it's better not to be in the lead at the major competition.

What???

High PCs always go with high tech. Leonova is a Tech skater so she will always get high PC scores.

Well, thanks for your "insights". I don't know why you're bragging about the Americans' jumping ability, considering all the downgrades Caroline got (justly) hit with.

 

[Snowgirl]

Bthw, Leonova CAN jump.
Go, Alena!!!!!

 

[HCOSurfer]

Elene into 5th, I was really hoping she would run away with the title too.
