2014 Worlds - Ladies Short Program

Anna P is the only one of the Russian babies that actually strikes me as not a baby. Doesn't understand yet that stillness can be just as effective and constantly using her arms, but talent and potential galore.

I think she has more potential than any Russian babies I have seen, i can't believe she is only 15! Yes she can do with some refinement and finesse but I'd say she has more maturity than her compatriots already.
 
Sonia LAFUENTE (ESP)

Music: Death and the Maiden by Franz Schubert

Black open back dress w/ sheer sequin spotted sleeves

3F - fall, maybe <
3Lo+2T, maybe 3Lo<
CCoSp
2A
FCSp
StSq
LSp

Costly fall, it will be hard to qualify for FS

SP: 22.11+22.83-1.00 = 43.94 (SB), in 17th (out of 18)
 
Do you guys think Anna could be in the top 6 after SP? Or am I too optimistic?

Absolutely. To be able to do a credible tango program at 15 is very impressive.

What has happened to Sonia Lafuente? Bad season? Or something worse?
 
Wow. Very fair score for Anna. No Russia inflation there. :)

Not YET you mean :laugh: She was 8th at Russia National. I reckon there is as much politics in their nationals as at the Olympics.

Katlyn big spender... i hate this music.
 
Perfect timing: just managed to see Moore-Towers Moskovich on telly before Osmond!!!
 
Wow, the crowd is really slutty :laugh:

They made her lose her spin

And then another one

She seems like she's having the time of her life :)
 
Kaetlyn OSMOND (CAN)

Music: Big Spender; Rich Man's Frug (from "Sweet Charity")

Black sparkly dress, strap back. Matching long gloves

3F+3T - solid
3Lz
LSp - shaky entry, travels, doesn't get the features
2A
StSq
FSSp
CCoSp

Very strong jumps, big and difficult. Fluke mistake on the layback spin, must've lost focus - will cost her a couple of points.

SP: 33.07+29.85 = 62.92 (SB), in 2nd (out of 19)
 
Russia needs that 3rd spot next year! Too many amazing girls.

and in my opinion Anna should be much closer to 70. She skates too early :(
 
I don't care much for ladies esp under COP cookie cutter programs but WOW is Kaetlyn my favourite!!!! She has the X-factor!!!! Add her to my list of characters the ISU shoul exploit the hell out of in order to bring new fans to the sport (Hanyu, Yulia, Anna, Jason, Kaetlyn....)

Nah... she scored about right, we are not in Russia anymore! Now just watch the Japanese skater's score :biggrin:
