2014 NHK Trophy Ladies Short Program 11/28

[minze]

She fell on her lutz and popped her flip into a single. No combo.

Nooo. She is one of the reasons I up. The pressure got to her. Oh well Nationals

 

[Sandpiper]

I actually like Polina's SP--movements really hit the notes of the music. But it seems like she doesn't have the consistency right now.

 

[Totentanz]

I had thought she would qualify for GPF before China and now...

 

[Scovies]

She's grown since Worlds, yes? I wonder if that's affecting her jumps.

 

[GF2445]

ok....48.96

ouch...that's below Gjersem

 

[Selene]

All the American girls (except Wagner) need mental strength training to compete with the top.

Polina looked so nervous before she started her program. She is lucky not to be in last place with that disastrous performance.

 

[friedbanana]

Really rough skate. :-( Hope she can pull it together for the free.

Sad for Polina. She has such beautiful arms. She was nervous IMO.

 

[mice]

I don't know what it is with Polina but I can't seem to like her programs. They seem very....old???? for her. It is painful to see these young girls heralded as the chosen one when each is as inconsistent as the next....Caroline....Mirai....Agnes....Christina....Gracie....Courtney.....
Rachael Flatt had nerves of steel and was incredibly consistent, when you think about it!!!!!

 

[leolion11]

Ouch a 40+ score??

 

[Totentanz]

No big surprises from skaters in first group. Hoping Alena and Kanako will skate clean, go dears!!

I actually like her programs this season, but now that I like them, she's not hitting them consistently. Ahh.

 

[mice]

yes!!!! andyjo maybe that's it, haven't seen her really sell them yet. I hope she skates lights out in the free. She looked so sad

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Gracie looked pumped up and ready to slay on the side of the ice there when Polina left. Look out girls.....

 

[ks777]

I wonder if Polina already peaked last year..

 

[Sandpiper]

Gracie looked pumped up and ready to slay on the side of the ice there when Polina left. Look out girls.....

Don't jinx people...

 

[rosacotton]

Poor Polina...

 

[andyjo24]

Gracie looked pumped up and ready to slay on the side of the ice there when Polina left. Look out girls.....

I think for Gracie, it's more likely that she's shaking rather than being pumped up.

Hope she can prove me wrong this time, though.

I'm obsessed with Kanako's costume, you don't even know.
