2025 Gordion Cup | Oct 23-25

First part of combination jump beautiful. Not great landing on second part

Individual jump beautiful. As was Flying Camel Spin immediately afterwards.

Beautiful combination spin.

Next jump beautiful too.

Beautiful Step Sequence.

Ach. that choreographic hand down that always catches me out!

And beautiful Layback Spin to finish with.

Erm, where is she?

Ah, after a long time looking at empty chairs, she has finally arrived in the results area.

Oh. My. Goodness! That is some cardigan that Sergei is wearing! @elektra blue - are we doing nominations for coaches? :p

She goes into the lead... by 22.54 points!

:cheer: WELL DONE STEFANIA!! :cheer:

I just had a thought. Is Fatma Yade KARLIKLI (TUR) the sister of Mehmet Cenkay KARLIKLI (TUR), who is currently in 2nd position in Junior Men? They belong to the same club anyway.

If they are, I feel sorry for the parents. Their birthdays are just 7 days apart! :drama: (She is 4 years older).

Very dramatic music. I enjoyed that.

She's not happy.

She goes into 3rd position.

Ceren KARAŞ (TUR) wearing a beautiful blue dress with a lower than we are used to neckline.

And beautiful music and skating to go with it!

She goes into 2nd position.

I hope the stream stays up, I can't watch the rest live today. :(

That's a shame. I enjoy reading your takes on the programmes, and particularly the dresses.

I hope you are able to catch up on the remaining two groups. Usually the streams on this channel do survive. But, in this day and age, you can never tell.

As for me, I'm away back to my Predictions for the Cup Of China during this resurfacing. I should have been doing them this morning, but with all the drama with the Swiss Open, I forgot! :drama:

I remember looking Salma AGAMOVA (TUR) up during one of the events in Turkey last season.

Olè 💃 Complete with the red dress.

Don't know all the music, but "Por Una Cabeza" with female vocals was in the middle of the programme.

Wasn't fussed on the music (although, that may be down to the speakers), but I enjoyed the skating.

She goes into 2nd position.

Yağmur Derin KEVINÇ (TUR) wearing a beautiful black backless dress.

This is annoying me. I know this song, and can see the singer singing it, but my mind has just gone blank. And because of the speakers in the arena, I can't make out the words to do a lyrics search. :drama:

Anyway, that was beautiful.

She goes into 4th position.

:jaw:

What there is of Jade HOVINE (BEL)'s dress is blending into the ice and the boards. I'll bite my tongue and not say anything of what there isn't of her dress.

Anyway, she was skating to a French song from Céline Dion.

Skating was good.

This could be close to my baby girl. Jade may end her run at the top.

But she doesn't. Jade goes into 2nd position.

Ceyda SAĞLAM (TUR) wearing a beautiful blue dress. With lots of sparklies.

Can't say I like this cover of "Crazy In Love". (I never have liked it, but the skaters / choreographers do seem to). It's ruined the song.

But I did like the skating Ceyda was doing to it.

She goes into 6th position.

CaroLiza_fan
 
Oh, nobody on the ice. Looks like the final skater, #9 Zeynep Naz DOĞAN (TUR) is a withdrawal.

So, my baby girl has a very healthy lead going into the FS tomorrow.

Oh, I hope she can hold onto it! A 🥇 Gold Medal would be a lovely early present ahead of her 18th birthday on Wednesday.

I guess there will be a short break now before the Senior cacti. 🌵

And it looks like the first of the boys, Alp Eren ÖZKAN (TUR), has withdrawn too!

So straight onto skater #2, Xan ROLS (FRA), who clearly did not realise and was not ready when called. He had to come out of the gate and take his skate guards off while on the ice. :drama:

CaroLiza_fan
 
Well, it was a rush to get onto the ice, but it didn't affect Xan ROLS (FRA). He was good.

I would say it was an olè 💃programme, but he wasn't wearing a red dress. :p He was wearing black trousers and shirt, with a gold pattern on his left shoulder.

He is sitting on his own waiting for his scores. The next skater, Samy HAMMI (FRA), must have the same coach.

He goes into the lead. Obviously.

CaroLiza_fan
 
This music always makes me think of Brian Joubert. Whether he actually skated to it, or I am imagining things, is another matter! :laugh:

But Samy HAMMI (FRA) made a good job of it. He is yet another skater today who is wearing all black.

French 1-2!

Samy goes into the lead.

CaroLiza_fan
 
My goodness. Skater #4 Burak DEMIRBOĞA (TUR) is another withdrawal. :drama:

So, onto the final skater, Başar OKTAR (TUR).

I'm not going to be late for my evening meal after all!

CaroLiza_fan
 
We started with 2 Frenchies and 3 Turks. And we ended up with 2 Frenchies and 1 Turk.

The local supporters mightn't have had as many local skaters to cheer on as they were expecting, but Başar OKTAR (TUR) gave them something to cheer.

He wasn't bad. He was wearing black trousers, white vest, and a funny design red and blueish-grey top over it.

He splits the French skaters by going into 2nd position.

CaroLiza_fan
 
And that's it for today.

The action resumes tomorrow, but 2h 30m earlier than today.
