2016 Rostelecom Cup - Ladies SP

[Crossover]

Unconventional Carmen for sure, but I'm glad to see her on fire again!

 

[Warwick360]

During warm up, when seeing Porgo, for a moment I thought I was seeing Kiira Korpi.

 

[TGee]

She has no energy, this type of music needs more power.

To me, it's doesn't seem as though the choreographer had a clear enough vision about what to do with this music. Nor did the skater....

At this point if one is going to chose an old chestnut like Carmen, it would seem essential strategy to have a clear vision of how to make an impact with it....

As it is, it takes something that might be safe and makes it into a risk for the skater to deliver....

 

[ancientpeas]

Yes but.. I see you are spanish. Don't you wonder why everyone wants to be a flamenco dancer?

 

[Warwick360]

Unconventional Carmen for sure, but I'm glad to see her on fire again!

THAT's Carmen? :eekn:

 

[Crossover]

THAT's Carmen? :eekn:

Well, I actually like the first half of the program until the voice kicks in.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Only 55?

 

[Nathan13]

All I see is Jason when I hear this...

 

[MalAssada]

That's an... interesting costume, for sure.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Hmmm, are we playing the back loading game?

 

[Violet Bliss]

I didn't even know it was Carmen. Well, shrieking from a dying diva is understandable. At least it wasn't chipmunk shrieking.

 

[Biellmann]

This dress is so....black

 

[SarahSynchro]

Me every time I see a 3Lo-3Lo: "Oh, my aching hips!"

 

[sabinfire]

Combo was so small and fast, I need to see a replay. Maybe other foot came down.

 

[SarahSynchro]

How much more black could this dress be?

The answer is none. None more black.

Bonus points to whoever can name the movie I'm quoting.

 

[TGee]

For me, Matsuda being in black is saving it from being over-princessy and too juniorish.

 

[Tolstoj]

Great to see another backloaded program, i appreciate the courage to do it.

Beautiful 3lo-3lo, spins were slow she lost some levels there surely (maybe even in the steps sequence) .

 

[ancientpeas]

That was super pretty. Good for her.

Is it just me or is the top part of the costume ill fitting? I like the empire (ish) waist but the top seems to large for her.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Her jumps were so low, but I rather like Matsuda. I loved her step sequence.

 

[semosk8tfan]

Saw this dress and thought "a young Juliet" and was surprised to hear Jason's music. (and for sure it is Jason's skating that makes that music not the other way around)
