2013 Worlds Ladies SP

[prettykeys]

Gracie was obviously nervous. Since when does she have issues with spins?

I think she got excited at holding onto her jumps.

What I heard after Yuna finished the short was
"I almost missed the lutz(Thought I wouldn't make it)" just after she stepped out of the ice
"The edge of the flip...was a little bit slanted"

So I guess she might have had some issue or anxiety about - ice? boots? edge? I don't know..

That's enough calls to be a lipper.
Let's not rewrite history here. She lipped. She fixed it in 2009, made the flip unstable. For a while, she got the right flip.
Hasn't done flip in a while, and now got another one called. Nothing's controversial or wrong about that.

You can at least get your facts straight. She competed in two other competitions earlier this year. She did 4 flips in competition prior to the World champ AND she did not receive an edge call.

I guess she did lose a lot of points on that spin. I thought she'd go ahead of Osmond maybe.

 

[Fruit Loops]

OK. Was not expecting that but I think she made a mistake on the spin while I was typing.

Can please someone give me a link to watch? I was about to open the thread and search but I didnt expect to see 27 pages until the fourth group!

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

Lower than I thought Gracie would get. Did she 2 foot the lutz?

 

[kandidy]

wow that was harsh. she got downgraded?

 

[sky_fly20]

58 for that !!!!

 

[prettykeys]

Agreed. I am really enjoying watching the ladies!

And I predict Gold moves into second with that skate though the question will be how close her and Osmond's scores will be or if she can put some distance. I liked Osmond's performance a bit better but Gold was good too and her technical content was higher.

Nope!

Someone posted this early on in the thread. Lots of us are enjoying it thanks to them.

 

[hurrah]

Wow! The scoring is so fair, I really cannot believe it.

 

[Moment]

OMG this tech panel is TOUGH.

Gracie's 3Toe looked UR on replay...

 

[ForeverFish]

well, better than Wagner's SP last year, but not by much. She should stay in the top ten.

 

[Jammers]

Gracie gets so excited and nervous she sometimes loses concentration. She was tight her jumps didn't have the usual height and flow they usually do.

 

[FlattFan]

But the funny thing is , as I recall, she never received those calls on solo flip. One of the reasons she decided to do 3Lz-3T was because she couldn't control her edge for flip 'combination' jump perfect enough to avoid those edge calls. I don't want to argue with the fact but I just find it interesting.

That might be the silver lining. Pushed her to do 3Lz-3T which is very hard to find fault at. Her 3F-3T combo didn't get good GOE. Her 3Lz-3T get +2 GOE regularly.

 

[hikki]

Gracie was so youthful and gutsy!

 

[Puchi]

Gracie's 3toe in the combination looked UR on replay.

 

[dwiggin3]

Gracie's jumps were not a high or powerful as they can be and she was a bit off on a spin. Still, a nice first SP at Worlds. I would have her 2nd after Osmond whose program was not as juniorish.
