2014 Skate Canada Ladies FS 11/01

[minze]

how old is Satoko?

16. She has the polish of Mao Asada

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Alena turnout on lutz. Not a good start.

 

[swc0931]

I really like technology judges for today..

 

[MiRé]

Very odd music effects here and there....Strong jumps though

 

[Meoima]

Anyone knows who choreographed Satoko's Miss Saigon??

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Ay jump errors Alena. This program is a comedown I have to say after Satoko.

16. She has the polish of Mao Asada

Ooh, I am even more excited!! I don't think she's at Mao's level yet, but the POTENTIAL is huge! We need another great Japanese female skater, and I think we may have one!

 

[ks777]

Satoko's PCS should be much higher, IMO. I thought her jumps looked good tonight...

 

[unico]

Messy messy Leonova. She gives it face, but I can't see the TES box, I wouldnt put her ahead of Miyahara.

 

[satine]

Looots of oopsies here

 

[MiRé]

Music is too out of control. It's just EVERYWHERE. This music choice makes her jumps look very messy, heck it even looks messier if she makes mistakes on her jumps.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Satoko looked amazing during the live feed but the slow motion replay told a different story. Anyway.... I loved that program a lot and look forward to seeing it again.

 

[Eislauf]

Alena's program feels disjointed, like the music..

Those manic-looking open mouth facial expressions are a little creepy

I feel bad for her skating like this after such an impressive SP

Messy messy Leonova. She gives it face, but I can't see the TES box, I wouldnt put her ahead of Miyahara.

It's 52 to 63 atm...

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Satoko's PCS should be much higher, IMO. I thought her jumps looked good tonight...

Agreed! Her PCS scores did not reflect what she did out there.

 

[lavender]

Yay for Satako. One of the only women I follow besides Chen now that my fav five have pretty much retired.

Yes, exactly. And I too loved the program -- I admit to enjoying her short quite a bit too, but the LP is just great.

Poor Alena. I enjoyed her short, but this had too many mistakes and just felt frantic to watch.

 

[Scovies]

Oof. Poor Leonova. And what's with the giant smiles during a tango? It worked for her Chaplin SP, but this whole thing was kind of a mess.

 

[s_parks]

How were Satoko's rotations? Considering she did 7 triples, the tes looked a bit low.
