Hated Karen's program! Why give her such dreary music to such a special skater? I thought the score was generous.
I hope so! She's already done a 3lz+3lo....
I thought the score for Karen was generous, especially considering Medvedeva got only 1 point more in France with 3-3..
I may be biased because I hate RFAD. But overall the program was nothing special and was empty in parts. Karen has such nice expression that IDK why use RFAD. Her spins and combo were nice.YMMV I didn't think it was so bad! I thought she really got into it.
That's true, but that was pre-injury. I have a feeling that maybe the injury she dealt with is an odd blessing in disguise and Tammy is using the time away to perhaps solidify her technique. Her jumps really improved, IMO.
Even though Karen's content was not as hard as we've seen from her, I actually thought her jumps looked really good and much bigger than we've seen from her previously.
Wondering if we might see that 3L-2T become a 3L-3T later?
Wow 60+ without 3-3 is pretty incredible. She must've received some major level 4s and +GOE.
Anthony Liu seems to be coaching quite a lot of junior Asian skaters, along with Tatsuki Machida. Where is his team based?
Medvedeva got dinged for flutzing though, which by itself made her lose potentially over 3 to 4 points. (karens lutz had a true outside edge takeoff.)I thought the score for Karen was generous, especially considering Medvedeva got only 1 point more in France with 3-3..
Latvia's Angelina Kuchvalska just bested her PB by 5 points! While a score in the high 40's isn't really great for medal contention, it's still nice to see skaters from countries besides the big ones of US/Japan/Russia/etc. improve. And Deniss Vasiljevs is starting to succeed as well.
It better happen right now than in GPF. Good luck in FS!No combo for Medvedeva
