2015 Nebelhorn Trophy General Chat

[Dr. Jenn]

I would like to see Courtney work more on posture, line, and extension.

 

[gravy]

Yes I think this music an packaging is VERY good for Courtney, it hides/minimizes her weaknesses VERY well. I do wonder whether making the sign of the cross mid program really is the best choreographic choice...

She really fought for almost all the jumps, really too bad.

Volosozhar and Trankov won an OGM with that and crucified themselves. I think this is fine.

Although, I have to admit with you in that it was sort of a WTH moment. I liked it, it was tacky but fun.

It is encouraging to see how much Courtney paid more attention to detail to choreography and musicality compare to before. Great start, looks like her mistakes had a knock effect on the latter half of the program. This program need big stamina to carry along with the powerful music buildup, she need to pace herself better. Has great potential if she can deliver all the jumps... early season, plenty of time. Good start, have time to fix things.

Well good enough for second, she will medal. Good for her!

Lenova might share the same music editor as Voronov?

I like Anna's program better than I did at the test skates, but I'm still not won over. The cuts...:hopelessness: And the step sequence seems too slow to be set to Sing, Sing, Sing

Wondered that too...

Overall I quite like this program actually, and her costume is cute. It was just really fun. Too bad about the falls.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That was the most random assemblage of music I have ever seen (Voronov's program from last year has been beaten in this regard! )! Alena is tremendously charming, and I thought her costume was cute. The mistakes were unfortunate.

Yes, charming is a good word

 

[gnom]

Like Leonova's program and costume very much. Ok, fly me to the moon is a bit weird. However, very entertaining.

 

[gravy]

OK, throw shade at me for the rest of the season, but this was one entertaining hot mess and I liked it. It kept me hooked. The transition from 'Jailhouse Rock' to 'Fly Me to the Moon' was a WTH moment, though.

Endearing skater. She even worked in some Finnstep during the step sequence.

I agree, i think the program suited Alena's 'spirit', but seems her performance deteriorated with the 'glitch' sounding half. It started off well and then kind of fizzledd.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Congratulations to Kaetlyn and Mirai - That was a most impressive comeback (for both of them actually, in different senses of the word)!!

PCS 58 for Leonova? For that performance?
