2015 Europeans Ladies Free Skate, Jan. 31

[tulosai]

Ugh, that probably is the worst possible moment to fall

Yup. Other than that not bad though.

 

[Sandpiper]

I was liking LeCavelier and saying to myself that she had some fight in her, compared to the other girls... until that stupid 2A fall.

 

[QLutz]

I'm trying to pull 60fps off IceNetwork's shoddy stream. Feels like a wasted effort. Probably should just wait for Eurosport highlights.

yea, tv4 has ads, sportbox crashes(?)

That she went for the flip for the first time in int compet, and that after the fall on the toe it did affect the rest of her program, and that her goal was to skate a clean 6 tripples program, and that she loved skating her, she seemed really happy enjoying the experience

Awww... so glad that she's happy with herself. And I'm relieved that the Norwegian federation is finally allowing our skaters to compete at major international competitions despite the low results. Allowing Anne-Line to skate in Sochi last year was huge.

Again commercials! Jesus

 

[tulosai]

Again commercials! Jesus

Yup after only one skater. though honestly popoova is the one to skip...

 

[Shayuki]

Don't they have all the time in the world to show commercials during warmups?

What happened to Kiira? Why is she WD?

 

[satine]

What happened to Kiira? Why is she WD?

She's sick, not injured..

 

[Lota]

What happened to Kiira? Why is she WD?

She's sick

 

[tulosai]

That was not as bad as expected. I did quite like the beginning.

 

[Lester]

That's too bad. Apparently a virus is terrorising this EC

 

[Mirunna]

Yup after only one skater. though honestly popoova is the one to skip...

From what I managed to saw on the russian link, she was better than I expected. Maybe is the effect of the splatfest the first group was )

 

[Sandpiper]

During the GP series, I complained about how boring and inexpressive Popova was. But here, compared to the first group at Europeans, she almost looks like a natural performer! Still rather unrefined, but at least she makes an effort to present up to the audience. My opinion of her has actually changed for the better, despite the bad skate! (We humans really do evaluate by comparison, huh...)

What happened to Kiira? Why is she WD?

Illness.

 

[tulosai]

Brezanova slay count: 1

 

[gravy]

I need more Petrenko in my life. He should be in the K&C with Popova.

Only because I want to look at him. He and Petr Barna are arguably the best looking skaters of the 90s.
