2014 Finlandia Trophy

Liza wins with over 30 points lead from the rest of the field, Samantha great comeback gets the silver and Rika Hongo grabs the bronze.
 
Poor Adam, had he went for a 3T, he could have been placed higher. Quad isn't something he's really good at.

Our commentator mentions that he needs more speed as he goes for the big jumps triple axel and quad.

About deductions:i know 30sec,but couldn't find a counting clock ( cause the one that counts wasn't work during our 6min warm up )

Yeah, it seemed that he didn't have a lot of speed coming into the jumps.

Looking at the protocals -- thrilled to see that Samantha got a 3Lo-1L-3S ratified! And fun to see she almost pulled out 7-triples (3Lo was < and lutz was e!). Hannah Miller did a 3T-1L-3S at Lombardia. Fun to see the U.S. ladies trying to pull the harder combos.

Another great performance from Liza!! Wonderful!!! I really love her programs this season!!

The audience were eating her up from the beginning! I love it!

You can tell she really loves the program and I think that's what's relaxing her and allowing her to skate so well. People tend to forget that back in her early days Liza T had almost clockwork consistency on her jumps. Now that her confidence is returning it seems to have boosted her consistency as well. I really love the programs for her, especially the FS...it just plays to her strengths so well.

I do think she'll need a harder 3-3 going forward but as of now I'm feeling pretty good about her chances this season. People were counting her out but based on these early performances I think she's coming into he season as a dark horse.

Loved Samantha's FS (if it's possible for someone to own Carmen, I think she's the one right now) and so happy to see storm back and grab silver.
 
Liza did just 6 triples in her free skate but still made a new personal best! Amazing!

Just overall, right? I know she's she scored higher in the FS.

126+ is about right for a six triple skate considering her jumps are really good.

Yes PB for SP and total score. She scored over 130 at 2013 Euros' free skate. If she adds the seventh triple (as in NT she did 3t+3t at the beginning of second half) she can achieve that score again.
