2013 Worlds Ladies FS

[dwiggin3]

I cannot with this music. Why, Adelina, whyyyyyyyyyyyy?!!?

Who is her coach and why is he/she letting her skate to this? You'd think the Federation would say something (though I'm not a fan of Fed's butting their noses in)...reminds me of a show piece.

StSq - selling it
CCoSp
ChSq

She is very happy with the skate. Some mistakes, but overall solid. Probably not enough to secure 3 spots...

FS: 55.73 + 60.63 = 116.36
Tot: 175.98, in 2nd (out of 17)

 

[ForeverFish]

Well I might have spoke too soon. Sotnikova might not move pass Gracie.

Her SB is 126, and she needs 124. It's gonna be close...

 

[hurrah]

I think Adelina really lost steam.

 

[Blades of Passion]

Sotnikova's program makes no freaking sense.

Good enough for 2nd place right now, though. Gracie beat her.

 

[FSGMT]

Sotnikova the best so far artistically, for me...

 

[Gymfan15]

Still, she didn't bomb and she seemed so relieved and happy at the end. Good for her.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Adelina's doing a pretty good job. One major bobble on a jump, some swingy landings but not bad. Maybe some UR's? At least she didn't meltdown!

ETA: I agree this music is not for her. She doesn't interpret it well at all. Needs a more mature skater.

The difference between Sotnikova and Gold is night and day. Sot is special.......

 

[pangtongfan]

That isnt passing Gold. Might pass Tuktamysheva. Either way the Russians will be 2nd and 3rd going into the final flight. Which means a total of 17 if everyone skates well in the final flight. Not enough for 3 spots unless 2 or even 3 people bomb bigtime.

 

[blue_idealist]

Am I the only one who actually likes this program/music? lol

 

[Krislite]

Good job Adelina!

 

[dwiggin3]

You are being kinda mean. I think posters have realized Akkiko had an off night. Please take a Xanax.

I have one if you need it.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Sotnikova the best so far artistically, for me...

While I wouldn't go that far, I loved her attack and the way she sold it. I like this program - she's got more personality than the rest of the RBB put together and watching her fight was pretty awesome. Look forward to seeing her next year.

 

[stella0321]

Amen.

Amen x 2 !

 

[aftertherain]

I get that you're a spitfire, Adelina ... but whoever told you it was a good idea to skate to jazz+Aguilera's vocals (3x) needs to be fired.

 

[artsciboy]

Good skate for Adelina - but they will be reviewing her landings for sure.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Adelina honey, next time you want to skate to a blues belter, go for the real thing: Bessie Smith, Janis Joplin. Ain't nothin' like the real thang...

 

[tulosai]

I loved how Adelina actually looked happy to be out there

 

[Kissx3]

Yeah she must have had a UR.
