2016 Cup of China Ladies SP

[sunnystars]

you know when it's really early in the morning whenyou start to think that Rika's opening moments makes her look like she wants to surrender to aliens

 

[ancientpeas]

I don't like Canadian overscoring not whole Canada. I love Alaine Chartrand. Does this still makes me Canadian hater?

How do you feel about Justin Trudeau, bonhomme de neige, curling and beavertails? That's all you need to like to be taken off the "I hate Canada and all things Canadian" list.

I was about to write my disappointment after watching Kahren. But the slow mo just show me the close up of Karen's hand.

No need to say anything! I need that magical momentl! Love Karen.

Karen needs a different coach that Tammy. She needs someone that can help her control those jumps.

 

[Nathan13]

I'm sorry if this sounds mean, but I wish Rika would CLOSE HER MOUTH WHEN SHE SKATES.

 

[nolangoh]

Wow Rika is really power-boosting her jumps! Impressive!!!!!

 

[mirai4life]

that lightning speed into 3-3 ..woo

Does ANYONE know what this version of Carmina Burana is? It's gorgeous and I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

THAT'S MY GIRL RIKA!!!

 

[cathlen]

Very good Rika! :hap57:

 

[MIM]

Rika is back!!!
The best stsq of the night so far!!!

 

[4everchan]

that's the best i have seen rika all season... great improvement from ACI (was there live)... where she was slow and URing... good job Rika!

 

[frida80]

Rough skate for Karen... too bad! She had such a lovely spiral and spins. It's really pretty music, but I didn't feel that she interpreted it terribly well. Her costume is really nice.

Karen prefers big dramatic music to skate to. She's going for something different for once.

Good powerful skate! Hopeful the judges liked it

SP: 33.20+30.42 = 63.63, 3/6

 

[ancientpeas]

I thought that was good. Rika's costume on the arms gives me life.

 

[valerieally]

That was a delightfully awkward performance by Hongo. I like O Fortuna and it's a difficult dramatic piece to skate to.

 

[4everchan]

forgot poutine... damn it ! how dare you?
