Ladies - Short Program- Fri. Nov. 26: 12:45 pm EST

Carolina did it with her 3T-2T... -_-

Caro makes up for it with her speed and complicated step sequences. She gets high levels on her spins too.

Has he seen her program? IMO, it's the worst SP she's probably ever had. Frank's delusional when it comes to scoring of his skaters anyway. I recall him complaining at Nationals last season that Evan didn't receive 9s in PCS even despite the fact that he was very shaky in both programs.

Whatever - I thought skated better here than at COC.......I liked her spins better last season.

I think Cynthia's only mistake was hands down on one of her triple jumps, I wasn't really paying attention, loved her spins though, especially the sit spin (Rach take note!).

Well, I mean, so did Mirai at COC but she still didn't make it over 60

I think the new rules have brought out uglier spins. We see Mirai and Caroline with that god-awful camel-catch in their combination spin...

Cynthia, hands down on her lutz (slanted axis). Her step sequence is boooooring. 5th with 50.51.

Nagasu is not as good a skater as Kostner in terms of power and polish (when they are both on).

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Cynthia score low--DG?

 

[100yen]

Mao's up next...I want her to remain calm and focused. She's having a hard time but (as TEB cameramen like to point out xD) she has lots of support. Stay strong, Mao-chan!!

Phaneuf is really not establishing herself as the clear-cut top Canadian lady in Rochette's absence like she had perhaps hoped to do. LaCoste may have a shot at the title after all this season.

 

[Sackie]

Yeah - what happened to Cynthia that her score is that low? Thought she would have been in the same range as Alissa!

 

[dlgpffps]

3T-3T, 3Lo (<?) and 2A. I have not liked any of the step sequences thus far, but I do like this music on her.

 

[Nadine]

Nice program from Kira Korpi, only slight shakey landing on the 3R jump, otherwise everything else a-okay.

I think Phaneuf is just way too inconsistent...and her only truly consistent triple is her 3T...
Lacoste has much better choreography this season and she's starting to become a factor in international events.

Kiira gets 61.39 (SB) 32.08/29.31

The SPs over sixty this season have ridiculous technical content.

 

[museksk8r]

Wow! I didn't see that one coming! Korpi, 61.39! Now watch her completely blow it in the LP like she always does.

Kiira's PCS-- are they the highest of this season for the SP? I mean, her TES is a point lower than Haruka's...

 

[dlgpffps]

Mao kind of falls on her 3A. Not enough speed going into it & it's like her knees collapsed on her. Goes for 3Lo-2Lo. FALLS ON HER FLIP?!

She looked much better in practices, though.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Kiira's PCS-- are they the highest of this season for the SP?

No. Kostner has had the highest PCS in the SP this season so far.

 

[burntBREAD]

No. Kostner has had the highes PCS in the SP this season so far.

That would make sense because Kostner's jump content was less than Kiira but she still scored higher. Kiira's program was good, but not 60+ good IMO.
