2015 JGP Logroño Ladies SP Oct 1

[invisiblespiral]

I did a little research. Serafima received the highest PCS in short program this season in JGP

Yay!

(I think she's my favorite skater on the JGP right now. I am kind of her fangirl. Sorry.)

That's something she should be proud of!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Anyways, go SH!

I like Tania's dress.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I didn't watch, but that's a decent score for Brynne considering that this is her first season on the JGP.

PS: I just looked on her ISU bio and she lives in Alexandria, VA! EEEEP! I live near Alexandria, VA!

Is it bad that I've occasionally wished for skaters to bomb? :scratch:

This reminds me of this guy doing his own commentary on one of Yuzuru Hanyu's FSes, and he was complaining about an 8-revolution butt spin in roughly the same manner.

I feel this way every time a great skater decides to put one in their program.

I think the only skater I can actually semi-tolerate the butt spin on is Elena Radionova. Everyone else... not so much.

Well Serafima has a new fan here, she totally OWNED that choreo!

Like the program but IMO she lost too much weight in the offseason and her skating has suffered because of it. She's a dynamic, powerhouse type of skater and going on some crazy Russian diet to get a waif like body seems to have just detracted from that. She is not particularly graceful or balletic and her jumps look worse not better so the whole motivation for losing weight seems silly IMO, she was not big at all before. Hopefully her FS goes better.

Agree with others about the lutz, she should have gone for 3t-3t, 3s-3t, or 3lo-3t instead.

Go Juni! Go Norway!
