2014 Olympics Ladies Short Program

[hurrah]

wow, recovered her 3-3 well. she was checking the tracings as she checked out.
she was very calm compared to her previous self. too bad the axel was not completely clean.
but... no artistry. tacky hair with tacky dress.

 

[HalfTriple]

Maybe too high expectation? In reality perhaps 61-62

 

[riceplate]

Lutz and Axel were shaky from Gracie. Must've been damn nervous.

GOLD Gracie (USA)

Music: Piano Concerto by Edvard Grieg

Red velvet off-the-shoulder dress. Silver sparkly on neckline

3Lz+3T - bit low on 3Lz, still managed combo
LSp
FCSp
3Lo
2A - tilted, hangs on
StSq
CCoSp

Slightly off two jumps and bit stiff landings, but she held it together. Probably not enough to keep her in bronze contention

SP: 36.55+32.08 = 68.63, in 2nd (out of 22)

 

[chiocciola]

A little rough, but she hit all the elements. A nervous skating. Hopefully that will be over 70.

 

[usethis2]

Gracie delivering, too!

Valentina skates like a grown-up, which is a real pleasure to watch. She lucked out with that score. Looking forward to her LP.

Better than expected. What I noticed was that some of her jumps were quite high. Not sure about her score, but not too off.

Kanako was lovely, too bad about the mistake

I just love this girl. I was hoping a better score, though. She's one of those whom you don't have to be uber to love after mistakes.

Gracie,
should score in 70+

Good skate by Gracie. Jumps were all over the place, should be mid to high 60s.

Or watch Thor.

I wanted to post that later! LOL

And I love Iceland's entry from last year!

Back to Gracie: 68.63

 

[Rikku]

Gracie Gold USA....68.63 (into 2nd)

 

[Blades of Passion]

I'd give Gracie a 65 for that.

 

[sky_fly20]

underscored !!!!

Gracies PCS should be in 35+
shameful

 

[Ophelia]

Gracie,
should score in 70+

What are you watching? I'm surprised you didn't say she deserved 74+.

 

[ClockwiseSpinner]

Go Zijun! My favorite for a surprise medal!

 

[Puchi]

Great score for Gracie. She left many points on the table though.

 

[HalfTriple]

Good for Gracie. They figure they couldn't boost Julia without laying out the pretext, first. Haha.

 

[yelyoh]

Gee Yuna only 6 points ahead of Gracie not the 12 Julia got in the team. Gracie bit tight but good.

 

[roxella]

What are you watching? I'm surprised you didn't say she deserved 74+.

:agree:

I was just about to say the same...gracie beating yuna...maybe in her dreams
