2016 Skate Canada Ladies FP

[twirlingblades]

Okay, this is ridiculous... I agree with the EuroSport announcers

awe, the audience.

 

[silverfoxes]

Poor girl...just get on with it!

 

[matcha]

Ouch. THey always do Rika so harsh.

 

[mirai4life]

omg

 

[Winnie_20]

That took way too long. :-( and low score.

 

[frida80]

What the....?!?!

 

[spookysushi]

well she definitely won't stay first for long

 

[nocturnalis]

BEurosport is right in more ways than one. These scores are very bad for Satoko.

 

[glorybox6]

Whoa, that awkward awkward wait, that TES. The tech panel is a bunch of vampires out for BLOOD today. :eekn:

 

[Tolstoj]

Oh god, the TES

 

[EdgeCall]

no actually i agree with it too, this was very disappointing compared to what i saw before

Well, it was certainly not her best skate, but not a total failure either.

Apart from TES, maybe ... need to see protocols.

 

[solar]

I hate to say it, but I miss Riverdance.

I agree, riverdance was such a good fit for her! I wish she could do programs like that instead of pretty ones

 

[HanDomi]

that's world record of how long can it take to review elements

 

[nolangoh]

that is brutal...Satoko WATCH OUT

 

[andromache]

Da Bin Choi is currently winning the LP with the lowest PCS.

 

[frida80]

This tech controller is HARSH!

 

[cathlen]

She dropped more than 10 points in TES? What the heck?

 

[ruffledgrouse]

What happened to Rika? She looked so promising a couple seasons ago, now I just see bad posture, laboured choreography and zero personality.

These programs play up her weaknesses rather than her strengths. I'm hoping that's a strategic decision on Akiko and her coach's part- work on her posture/grace/range/etc and then take those improved aspect and use them in programs better suited for her in the Oly season

 

[Yatagarasu]

Oh, ok I didn't expect that. What did they nix?!

 

[Princessroja]

Well, no one's getting a PB here that's for sure. Hope no one is relying on this comp to get them on the season's best list for GP next year...
