2014 Olympics Ladies Short Program

[Ophelia]

I don't think I could ever compete in the Olympics. Already having a semi nervous meltdown just waiting to watch Yuna skate.

 

[rollerblade]

She is probably the most well endowed skater. Gorgeous dress too.

 

[hurrah]

Nice!

GEDEVANISHVILI Elene (GEO)

Music: Tango Selection

Black dress, high neck, open back, sheer sleeves. Red sparkly hem. Black gloves, rose in hair

3Lz+2T
3S
2A
FSSp
StSq - maybe small stumble
LSp - bit slow shaky exit
CCoSp

Good attack on the jumps, nice and clean. She seems relieved.

SP: 27.51+27.19 = 54.70, in 4th (out of 16)

 

[Ambivalent]

I've always called her Kim Yu-Na, much the same way I call her Na Li, even though the media calls her Li Na. Thought the same thing applied here.

Actually it's Li Na in mandarin.

 

[BostonFan2016]

That was ravishing :think: best for her during the free skate

 

[Icey]

She shouldn't do the I spin, Elene

 

[ARipp42014]

What did I miss with Elene? I was on the phone with my dentist!

 

[HalfTriple]

Now there she is. Let's see what she can do.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Way to go Elene! Some shakiness towards the end on her spins and final position, but otherwise solid.

 

[Icey]

I thought she had returned to Orser

 

[lady_bee]

Elene looks happy

 

[yelyoh]

ELENA GOES CLEAN!!! Everyone does : )

 

[blue_idealist]

Where is Orser? If she's in Toronto again, isn't he coaching her?

 

[skatefan17]

I wonder if the BBC commentators will identify where Jenna stands in relation to Yuna Kim after she skates.

 

[ARipp42014]

Oh it's on! It's on like Donkey Kong!

 

[Rikku]

Elene Gedevanishvili GEO....54.70 (into 4th)

 

[Panini]

I've always called her Kim Yu-Na, much the same way I call her Na Li, even though the media calls her Li Na. Thought the same thing applied here.

Li Na is the Chinese way of saying the tennis player's name. Her surname is Li, same as Li Zijun.
