2015 Cup of China Ladies Short Program

qwertyskates · Nov 5, 2015

Can't wait to see Mao, I like the sexier music she's picked. Jumps look good, she's in great form, but i think Tuk's 3a is more solid. Mao might beat her with her PCS though.

Any practice videos of Elena ??

More solid? Wow! Tuk only landed once or maybe twice and it is more solid already?? You got to be kidding

80 pts maybe even up to 83. But she doesn't need this difficult of routine. I wonder if it might have been smrter to do a 3L3L and 3flip and assuming the 3loop 3loop is easier for her than the 3flip; she has worked on the lutz though (still concerned). Her pcs are going to be out of the roof she doesn't need the 3A. If she can go semi clean she probably is unbeatable. With her pcs and if she does a clean 3A she can fall on a jump and still probably win. well maybe if it is not the combo I guess it might be more touch and go but it depends I suppose if she lands the first jump and fully rotates the second and then falls.

Inna was taken to hospital just before they were due to travel to China. I hope she recovers quickly & that Elena can manage here without her coach :clap:

Grr...why do I have to miss this?!?

QuadThrow · Nov 5, 2015

I am so upset about Mao's performance tomorrow...

Hope to see:
1. the first woman receiving more than 80 points in the SP.
2. second woman ever with four triples in the SP
3. a masterpiece

But otherwise I am ready to wait till worlds.

Her speed and ice coverage are simply amazing now. I can definitely see 83. I was hoping she would flip to a 3T in her combo, it seems pretty solid and she has been practicing it.

I love flirty and cheeky Mao. Please have playful, beautiful dress (or outfit, doesn't need to be a dress) :luv17::hap93: :cheer:

Meoima · Nov 5, 2015

The time is convenient to me. I will be here to deliver popcorn. :popcorn:

Feel free to ask, because I know tomorrow there will be some debate. :angry1:

I'm looking at this season - Tuk's 3a height and rotation are amazing, even if her landing is shaky and if she were to fall, she still rotated fully. In the practice video, Mao's 3a looks under-rotated, which is a concern.

It doesn't mean that alone will net Tuk the GPF, Mao has other qualities in her skating, but I'd say as of today, Tuk's 3a has better height, speed, rotation so far.

I hope Mao lands a good one, I want to see it too, and her other triples, it'll be amazing.

Tuk is taking a lot of flak for SC for her overall skating, but she did shakily land an impressively rotated 3a.

^ I think Mao wasn't going at full speed in her run-through because there was some lady talking to her coach standing close to her exit path. Here's a more recent one: http://i.imgur.com/ZIaElye.gifv

Sugarpova · Nov 5, 2015

It's going to be an amazing competition though.
