2013 Worlds Ladies FS

I'm not sure how big Gracie's scores in the LP would be if she skated clean. She's been sloppy or just plain bad all season excluding Nationals.

I think she could score in the high 120s with a clean skate. She wont score as high as Nationals, and the judges will save much higher scores for Kim and Kostner in the final group, but will score quite high still. That said would be surprised if she pulled a clean skate off but would be happy if she does.

Funny to see skaters and coaches with Gangnam Style background. LOL

Yes...way too many skaters use Carmen...but it is a great piece of music to skate to...

hahahaha agreed....

It may not happen even then...Tukt will almost certainly be in the bottom of the top ten, so Sotnikova will have to climb over a lot of people.

Well, I think that Meite, Helgesson and Li surely can't reach 115+, and we still have to discover how Gracie will perform, she could either deliver a 125 performance or fall 3 times, Suzuki and Sotnikova should be ahead, Liza could even end up in 9th, so Sotnikova would need to be 4th to gain 3 spots... :think: Possible, but extremely difficult...

I think Asada, Suzuki, and Wagner would have more than a little to say about that.

Not only a hockey rink but in another thread it said the air circulation isn't good and its muggy. Alot of the men looked exhausted. Wonder if that was the case.

Yeah Tuktamysheva will probably be 9th or 10th depending how Gold (and to a lesser extent Suzuki) skate. So Sotnikova would need to climb to 3rd or 4th. For that to happen from the 2nd flight she will have to skate lights out, and the final flight will have to drop some bombs, similar to the mens event.

Meite and Helgesson are probably not going to reach 115+ but Li did skate an almost 116 program at FCC just a couple of weeks ago. And I'm waiting with bated breath to see how Suzuki and Wagner do >< The anxiety.

They're warming up. What the hell is Eurosport doing?!

There is no excuse to not hold such an important event in FS on a smaller surface for such stupid reasons.

Sotnikova just fell in the 3-3 during the warm-up...

Warmups....Gracie's hair looks nice...

Another costume debacle...Mae Berenice MEITE

 

[Kissx3]

Zijun Li can definitely put up 115+. She's also a brand new 16 year old senior this year and I'm guessing we're going to hear a lot more buzz about her going forward. Very talented.

 

[FlattFan]

Very true. The Russians have been overhyped for awhile. I still remember in 2010 it being said Kim and Asada had no shot for 2014 if they choose to go for it since the Russian girls were going to take over the event for sure by then. What a joke.

No kidding. They were saying Liza can do 3As out of her sleep walk. Will cream Asada. Well, where is that 3A?
Same with Adelina whose flutz was not called when she was a junior. I remember I was quite annoyed that she consistently got non-call on those flutz. Good thing they caught up to her.
Alena is good for bulimia.
The younger ones, only Elena is somewhat redeemable. Julia, well, everyone know what she likes to do with her legs.

So no, none of them. Maybe send one, Elena.

Let's hope her jumps look as nice.

Gracie Gold needs to hold it together for once. She needs to prove she's a competitor and not someone who crumbles under pressure. I don't think 3 spots for the US is looking good. Elizaveta will pass Gracie unless she delivers her best performance internationally.
