2015 Cup of China Ladies Short Program

[Blades of Passion]

This little euro girl missed her 3Toe-3Toe. Now I'm mad.

 

[Totentanz]

It must be very hard to skate after Asada for Rajicova. Doubled the second 3T. Hope she repeats her Skate America success in the FS.

 

[Imagine]

LOL they don't want to let her break the record again so soon....but there'll be plenty of opportunities later this season. This is the year of Mao!

 

[Sugarpova]

you can throw pitchforks at me but I prefer Ade's SP more than Mao's

Ade's SP is brilliant

 

[Alex D]

Crowd reaction is nice, but she got no big teddy either. 71 is not bad for someone coming back

Wished more support from the crowd for Nicole, she is so lovely.

Then watch the slo-mos...the pre-rotation was bad enough, but there's a huge hook on the landing.

I believe there has to be an e on the 3Lutz, that and 3Lo< is probably what did it

I feel like she may have got the benefit of the doubt on the 3Lz and only a !. Two URs, though, will kill any score.

 

[EdgeCall]

not doing nicole any good to have to skate after mao. she looks so amateur

A very spirited amateur, despite the flaws. Me likey!

 

[purpledream]

If Mao isnt first..... then im going mental.

[haha im just too happy over the "clean" skate! It's been a year after all! ]

 

[satine]

Oh jeez, at the CS event Adelina got 36.5 PCS and Anna got 33.9, I know comparing across competitions isn't accurate but I feel very miffed over Mao's PCS, now I'm too annoyed to sleep

General consensus on this board was that they were hugely overscored though...

At least she got a combo this time, she missed it at SkAm, so this is actually an improvement!

ETA I am wrong she missed the solo jump at SkAm. I still think overall an improvement though

 

[Violet Bliss]

Meanwhile, Nicole did great.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Too bad about Nicole's combination - The rest of the skate was very good! I find Nicole very charming.

 

[bartlebooth]

A very spirited amateur, despite the flaws. Me likey!

I've recently warmed to her since her FS at Skate America. Go Nicole!

 

[Mirunna]

Ade's SP is brilliant

I like it too but compare a 3T-3T, 3F and 2A with a 3A, 3F-3L and 3Lz.
Anyway! MAO IS BACKKK:hap93::hap93::hap93:

Oh... why are you saying that dear friend. :sad21:
I am here to collect your body. Which kind of coffin you prefer? :dev3:
Happy belated Halloween!

I'd say great effort for her! It must be tough but she did splendid!

I know but Mao was so underscored here in PCS, I don't know about tech but I feel like PCS should have been higher

Love Nicole's sparkley rubber band :luv17:

Didn't watch her SP there. Its a good improvement then. I like it when a skater from small federations make it to second group.

 

[Eclair]

Mao was fantastic!

The pcs seems to be a generally a bit underscored for everyone - zijun, karen, soyung and mao, therefore I'm OK with that, as long as they keep it consistently strict for the upcoming skaters too!
