2014 Trophée Eric Bompard Ladies FS 11/22

[viennaskater]

No heart and soul in Julia's performance - and she doesn't look 'Italian' to me at all!

 

[Matilda]

Ricky Dornbush caught a tummy bug on the plane over, so if they took the same flight it's more than possible

Oh no, Ricky too! The bug would definitely explain the uncharacteristically low energy in Ashley's performance.

 

[taltaltel]

Certainly accurate score for Yulia, she looks unhappy though. Radionova should take home the gold now.

 

[bartlebooth]

Her 3L/3F/3Lz are quite messy this season...

She changed brand of boots and she doesn't feel comfortable with harder toepick jumps for now.
I wonder whether she will change back to her old brand of boots or try to adapt to the new ones.

 

[EdgeCall]

Well, Julia is not back to last season's standards, but it looks like she is recovering and on the right track.

 

[viennaskater]

This Juliet doesn't need a Romeo! Romeo who?

Romeo Montague - didn't you do Shakespeare at school?

 

[OS]

I am still shocked the judges decide to mark Julia normally this competition.

 

[adelia]

Very tense looking shoulders. The excessive beading on the dress around that area also doesn't help. It accentuates her posture.

 

[Meoima]

This Juliet doesn't need a Romeo! Romeo who?

feminist are you?

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Oh no Alba denied the hug.

I read it differently. I thought Alba was just just tapping Julia in the arm, in a "well done, love" sort of a way.

If you're right, I feel really disappointed for her.

[Meoima]

I am green with envy towards Alba right now...

130+ score for Elena? Well done.

 

[Doggygirl]

Well good for Elena. I love her spunk and signature overbedazzled look! Well deserved win today.

 

[Matilda]

Yay Elena!!!

 

[MalAssada]

Lena, you consistent fiercy kitten

 

[text_skate]

WOW the last minute just smiles. A reallly fine performance

 

[Florencito]

Flawless.
I love her reactions at the end. Everytime it's like it's her first time. It's touching.
