2016 Cup of China Ladies FS

[OS]

Congratulations to Elena, Kaetlyn, and Liza!

Nice podium, but would have been better if Ashley can join them

I won't proclaim Anna for sure into the GPF since she already won 1 GP.

Remember what happened to Anna last year at NHK? And clearly what happened here with Ashley.

7 URs for Ashley

You'd think they dated and she dumped the guy...

 

[4everchan]

could be carrots also look like that if they are on their side waiting to get chopped LOL

I thought it was a reference to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caret

It's not in the same direction, but it's the same shape.

7 URs for Ashley

Ashley bought seven carrots in Beijing. Oh dear.

 

[Jaana]

Amano doesn't care for that. He had no problem hammering Japanese skaters too (he did it with Rika yesterday, remember?)

The skating needs more people like Amano in technical panel. It has been so wrong towards other skaters in many competitions as some skaters get away with UR´s and double-footing...

Of course it's just probable projections,

There can be a major upset with Tursynbaeva and Chartrand medaling at NHK and then everything will change

Happy for Lena and Liza! Good for Kaetlyn too
So right now the final looks like Zhenia, Lena, Kaetlyn - 100%, Anna, Satoko - great possibility. The better question is who is 3d?? Maria or any japanese?

 

[Yatagarasu]

Oh wow, my poor predictions. I missed everything again as this is the worst time possible but holy hell, what happened Ashley?! Got to catch up after the men.
Congratulations Elena, Kaetlyn and Elizaveta! (yay Elizaveta, I'm so happy for her!)

 

[4everchan]

she can make two cakes or a large pot of soup

Ashley bought seven carrots in Beijing. Oh dear.

How do you underrotate a half loop? Does it become a quarter loop? *brain explodes*

I agree and I don't worry too much about Ashley, she just wasn't at her best at this competition. The current field is very strong, small mistakes are costly.

[skylark]

It'll be the first time in five years Ashley won't be at GPF. :sad21:

However, My Girl Ashley always finds a silver lining in every pourin-down raincloud. She'll take this experience and move forward. Work hard and work her magic. I hope. What I know is, she'll Get Up and fight through.

 

[4everchan]

i was very happy looking at the protocols... it makes me happy when i feel a jump is not rotated and the carrot appears on the protocol... there were many today unfortunately but it seemed fair...

[Crossover]

Liza is the highlight of the FS today for me despite two mistakes, but her mistakes look relatively small compared to her competitors. Elena won the title, but her jump landings are so....iffy. During Liza's performance, I thought her spins got much better, so assuming that Lambiel helped her for that.

 

[rollerblade]

What does Amano do with pre-rotations though?

Where was this when i needed 3 Carrots for my chicken soup yesterday ?!

It's not very costly. BV goes down from .5 to .4.

Nice podium, but would have been better if Ashley can join them

This is not the US Nationals, else she could get a pewter medal standing next to Liza. Some call it potato medal but it's more of a carrot for Ashley.
