2014 Worlds - Ladies Free Skating

[WeakAnkles]

Ah CaroLiza, I read your post about Jenna. That's a real shame, but at least she had a very good SP--an up note to end a very long career.

best moment of the day: Michal hugging his sister so lovingly :

Very touching!

 

[Kuan]

Go So Youn!! Go Zijun!!!!! Skate like last worlds!!!

Brezinova's jumping technique is pretty good! I do wish she'd bring more speed and interpretation though. Very similar skating style to her brother, although she seems a little mentally tougher.

Girls are always stronger than boys.
Remember what happened in Sochi few months ago?(Woops, sorry for mentioning S-word)

I can't really deny that. We can be pretty strong too though!

I think she's out because of injury. She hasn't been doing well since she hit puberty either. Wonder if she's continuing(?)

There was a thread asking about that in November. But, it's been archived now.

I brought up the question again in the Korean Nationals thread at the end of December, and there were some very informative answers.

She's Nina Taylor.

Erm, who's Nina Taylor? I just did a search and it came up with 2 candidates - a thin white British model, and a, erm, rather large black American model.

I hope you are not comparing Kwak to either of them...


Ach, why did Eurosport take a break when they were playing Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" in the background???!!

Exactly! one of the original members of Destiny's Child when there was six of them.....

What is this music? Why is she miming shooting an arrow?

I'm really sorry =(
I wanted to see Jenna skating another time before retiring, she seemed so keen on skating this worlds

 

[satine]

Do skaters ever get blinded by their ponytails and slip up?

 

[bartlebooth]

Wow Joshi what a powerful jumper

Ah, thank you. She was really impressive!!!

 

[snowflake]

Well done Joshi…. kudos for going for 6 triples; 5 different (though edge on flip) including 2 lutzes

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I really feel like someone should master making a step out into a Half Loop. I really can't tell the difference sometimes. Maybe the judges could be fooled.

A couple of iffy landings, but her strongest so far. She fistpumps. Her 6 triples had better flow than usual

FS: 54.69+53.26 = 107.95 (PB), 162.91 (PB), in 1st (out of 6)
