2014 Worlds - Ladies Short Program

[Imagine]

I love Yulia and want her to win everything (including this competition)....but her donut spin is honestly really scary to watch....always feel like she's gonna topple right over...

 

[OS]

Heh... so no flutz and her PCS is still up. Even higher! Sigh.... lol ISU made their point. Higher than AKIKKO!?? Ridiculous!!

 

[Mista Ekko]

I'm to take it Yulia didn't get called on her flutz and her horrid 2A?

I hope they don't give her extra GOE for that axle

 

[TMC]

Don't even try to compare it to the shenanigans at Sochi. That's like conservative born again Christians crying that LGBT people are persecuting them because they can't persecute LGBT people anymore. You may sell that somewhere else, but I for one ain't buying it.

:thumbsup:

Ridiculous PCS for Yulia - beating Suzuki???

Same thoughts...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

74.54 for Julia.

Yeah, that's about right. About half-way between Mao and Akiko.

But, personally, I'd have put her slightly closer to Akiko.

(Caro should have been in that area as well...)

There was no flutz there today. Her flutz is inconsistent.

Good skate from Meite. She fistpumps.

SP: 33.10+28.52 = 61.62 (PB), in 9th (out of 31)

Just like Gracies underrotations. And the edge was ok.

 

[andyjo24]

LOL. Everyone is getting a 2-3 point boost here in Japan. But at least everyone is getting the boost, unlike the Olympics, where Russians were clearly held up relative to others.

 

[aussie_SKATES]

Standing ovation for Meite of France. Well deserved for her powerful short program.

 

[TMC]

Go MAE

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

She skated very well even by her standards. I think she got the 3lz-3t and her 2a seems to be improving. Not height but flow and overall execution with extra merit for flow out. She can easily steal a +1 or +2 GOE. Thank god!!! I can sleep. What a show. I would have put Anna closer and maybe ahead of Yulia but Gracie definitely behind both.

 

[bartlebooth]

Well done Maé, you sassy girl!

Did you forget Akiko was attempting 3T-3T? At least Julia attempts lutz and gets her components because she's Russia's number 1.

 

[wanpe]

I can't believe that so many ladies got 70+

 

[whatif]

Well, no Alla Shekhovtsova or Lakernik to help, yet same result. I love it how it comes to Russians nobody calls for fairness here.

 

[Alba]

Very good. 72+ for sure

FANTASTICA! That's my girl. :yay:
I can watch later when I'm calm than. Thanks.

I keep wanting her to hold one of those positions long enough for us to appreciate it and for it to look finished, but, nope, it is rush to the next one

I agree with you on that. I saw her exb. in moscow after the Olympics and she holds those position long enough and it's beautiful.
Maybe she is told by her coach not to do that in competition. I don't know...

 

[Snow63]

Don't even try to compare it to the shenanigans at Sochi. That's like conservative born again American Christians crying that LGBT people are persecuting them because they can't persecute LGBT people anymore. You may sell that somewhere else, but I for one ain't buying it.

And why do you even bring this? It's absolutely different competition. It has nothing to do with this thread. If you want fair judging, start to do it yourself.

Were there ever better top 6 performances in a Ladies SP ?
