Grand Prix Final: Ladies SP

[yelyoh]

61.60!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!

 

[Trewyn]

I vastly dislike Leonova's program. I know it's probably 'original' but I'm not digging it. I hate how she always has step outs... and still gets high scores. Sigh.

Ashley's score was horrifically low... And she two footed the lutz! That's the first two-foot this season... A nasty habbit turning up again? The Lutz also had weird looking take-off... I guess she's confused while she's relearning the edge...

Joannie next up...
I'm curious if the same program gets a 70, here....

Alena Leonova
In redskirt , white arms and blue top
Skating to Russian folk (kalinka)
3f2t (tano)
3ltz from f/w
flying sit
music faster
into spiral
lots of Russian folk character and smiling
spread eagle into 2A with arms crossed in front very nice
furious footwork variation of speed
final combo spin
never a dull moment in that
she's happy

Score 61.60 New SB, into 3rd

Both the entry, and position during the 2A are difficult
Likewise the 'tano' on the 2t

 

[reynycpr]

3Lutz (low)/2toe (bad step-out)
3Flip (saved)
2 Axel

Well if Leonova recieved a 61.60... this should probably be 65+

 

[Trewyn]

Weird things are happening to the feed... What's happening with Joannie?

 

[Medusa]

That Triple Lutz I would like to see again.

EDIT: Probably downgraded. Score is low.

 

[reynycpr]

wow... 60.94, behind Leonova.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

How did Joannie do? My feed is messed up!

 

[Trewyn]

I still don't understand why Ashley is sow decidedly below the rest of the pack... Sounds like they're all having rough skates.

 

[reynycpr]

Clean for Miki....

3Lutz/2loop
3Flip
2Axel

Its nice to see she work hard on her edge problems. Her flip has improved.

SBS was showing women's golf and now is showing Suzuki's program...
Aahh, I'm giving this up, better start my day (9:15 already!)
Thank god for youtube.

 

[hikki]

Miki's 3-2 came out of much better speed than usual. But I REALLY wanted to see her 3/3!
Go Miki!

 

[reynycpr]

How did Joannie do? My feed is messed up!

Joannie had a step out on the 2Toe, after landing low on the Lutz. Flip was saved. 2axel clean.

 

[evangeline]

Miki was great! That should beat Leonova, definitely.

 

[Blades of Passion]

I am surprised and happy that Rochette was placed below Leonova.

Miki did well, other than that awful layback. Deserves 1st.

 

[hikki]

The height of her jumps!!

 

[reynycpr]

She probably change dher mind on the 3/3 right then and there. She barely got the lutz rotated

 

[dorispulaski]

Ando
3ltz2lp
3lip (wiggle before ending on right edge though)
2A crossrink
spiral not very flexible back
spin may have recentered (weak any case) layback
f/w kind of mechanical today
nice sit spin combo to candle to end

Audience standing
Morosov says got to practice that layback

score 66.20

 

[evangeline]

Yu-Na popped her flip! (uh oh)
