[Nadine]

Sorry, just noticed someone started another thread on the SP, my apologies, I don't know how to delete this one. Sorry.

Women's short

Warm-up nearly finished...

 

[dgel]

Warm-up nearly finished...

oops thread already started- admins delete this one please

 

[Nadine]

That's allright, I don't know how to delete the other.

This first girl from JPN looks like Yuna Kim!

Sorry, just noticed someone started another thread on the SP, my apologies, I don't know how to delete this one. Sorry.

Please don't close both the threads, at least keep one thread open.

 

[Nadine]

okay, just want to say that JPN has a lot of great young talent, including this girl, whom looks exactly like Yuna Kim in both looks & physique. Lol, I really thought it was her during warmup.

 

[Medusa]

Shoko Ishikawa (I freaking love that name) needs to get some confidence, some style and some pizzaz.

The Lutz will be downgraded.

 

[Mafke]

Just to prove I'm a pedantic twit, there is no 'womens' competition, there is a 'ladies' competition.

That is all.

 

[dgel]

how about a bit of PbP
Shoko ISHIKAWA to get things started
long set up to 3f-2t, nice
2 axel clean
fw into 3 lz, under-rotateded I think
flying combo spin, a bit slow
spiral a bit slow into layback
footwork, nice
flying camel to finish
well skated, not a lot of interp of the music, but she should be pleased
44.28 in 1st of course

 

[Nadine]

And Yuna Kim lookalike scores 44.28

 

[Medusa]

Just to prove I'm a pedantic twit, there is no 'womens' competition, there is a 'ladies' competition.

That is all.

But it's the men, so it should be also the women. Everything else just sounds strange.

 

[Buttercup]

I just like having a thread without the EST in the title. How 's that for pedantic?

 

[Nadine]

Lovely flowy routine by CHN's Shizuka Arakawa lookalike. Don't think she missed anything.

 

[life684]

Loved the chinese lady, jumps were nothing special but loved her style. She looks lot taller than 5ft 5

 

[dgel]

Yan LIU - China
Music- piano verson of Impossible Dream- ill-advised I have to say
3lz turns out 2t
3 loop a bit shaky
spiral big wobble on change of edge, right into 2 axel from last position
spin- slow
layback, nice
fwork
combo spin to finish
47.64 into 1st

 

[Nadine]

And she scores 47.64, 1st place.

 

[life684]

Gozeva horror show, two falls so far.

 

[Nadine]

Oh no, tonight wasn't this RUS lady's night, she fell on two jumps, but I must say she has FAB spins, especially her closing one, rivals Caroline Zhang's.

 

[dgel]

Oksana GOZEVA - Russia
Tango music
2 ax
long set up to 3 lz, falls
long set up to 3 flip, not really out of footwork, under rotated falls again
spin
spiral, not well done
nice combo spin
footwork, and actually some choreo that related to the music- up to now you wouldn't know it was playing
final spin is very fast and centred, layback with skate to head
40.66 - 3rd

 

[Nadine]

And she scores 40.66, into 3rd place.
