2015 Nebelhorn Trophy Ladies SP and Free Skate

[Dr. Jenn]

That was a pretty decent skate for Kailani, other than a few jumping issues - although I'm guessing that several of her jumps will be reviewed. I really liked the program. It was nice to see her range and connection to the music. I find her a very enjoyable skater to watch.

This season is gearing up to be quite the cotillion ball for team Australia. New PB. Parabens, Kailani! :yay:

Try this stream: http://www.eislauf-union.de/LIVE-ST...TROPHY_Newsdetail_421_kkdetail_view_news.html. It has been working really well all through the competition.

Yeah mine has cut out a few times (just flat out cut out) but not either of these issues... sigh.

Lots of double jumps, I guess she doesn't have the easier triples?

FS: 37.81+39.60-1.00 = 76.41, 125.00, 5/10

I actually really like this new Finnish skater for some reason... I hope we'll be able to see her again this season.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That was a rough skate by Karoliina. She seemed very slow, and the program was really empty. I just did not see the level of commitment this type of music requires.

I think she probably has them in theory but they weren't working out for her today... or maybe they just don't work out for her most of the time, it's hard to know without having ever seen her before

I died. Loving the shade.

And she definitely has the potential to slay at least 2 more lol.

I'm glad she's moved up at least somewhat :dance:

 

[mirai4life]

wow, they're serious about the time violation. Can't finish 1 second after the music. Better to finish early and make up random movements. lol

I hope this becomes a new thing, it would be funny to have a bit of improvisation on a regular basis.

What a nice interview with Elladj! He seems like a really thoughtful, down-to-earth human being.

Well she's Finnish, so she probably has them all but the nerves cause her to pop at competition...I blame the coaches

Wow a 60.53 TES score for Mirai! That's great news. I'm really really curious to see the protocol, but I'm guessing she did five triple program based on what my eye saw and scoring over 60. The whole quality of that program was from a completely different skater than the one in the short. Too bad the PCS stayed down I wonder if we would have seen a higher number if she hadn't skated first in this group.

Anyway CONGRATS ON THE GOOD FREE SKATE!!!
