2016 Trophée de France Ladies FS

[invisiblespiral]

For some reason, I'm randomly nostalgic for one of the first competitions I watched, or JGP Tallinn 2011...

Galustyan has nice spins.

I see Gracie's still getting held up by PCS.

Be like Mae and not like Gracie, Mao!

Right! It's naked Bruce Willis in the pool music! I forgot that was her FS.

I can't watch this program without seeing that movie in my head. So many childhood memories lol.

I'd shout Bryan orser, but I think that's a Tursynbaeva territory now. Same with Edmund's coach and Wagner's. I do hope she finds someone though. Does Marina have any top female singles skater?

OMG imagine! Diva Zueva with Gold, Chan and Chen.

 

[Crossover]

Competing two events in two weeks is obviously a demanding job for such a young girl. The performance is so tentative and filled with a lot of URs. The music for the program is so wrong for the skater still in minor.

 

[Jammers]

Seeing Gracie lose to these second tier skaters that she always used to beat handily is :shocked:

 

[MaiKatze]

I am scared what Mao is going to produce now, tbh. I don't think I can take much more of this.

Concerning Anna, I think Anna's problems weren't so much mental but more about frantic skating and throwing herself into her jumps with too much power. And she really hurt herself in some of these falls so they took away all the steam. I think she is much more controlled now and that's why she's better. I don't think that this is Gracie's problem at all. It's all mental.

 

[ancientpeas]

Freud. Definition of insanity.

 

[s_parks]

She's definitely getting URs. the wait is long.

Anastasia's FS music is from a movie (of the same name) starring Bruce Willis.

Why should it be Frank's decision? Gracie, take charge of your career and show us the fight that you had in the last minute or so of your program today. If this thing with Frank is not working, there are loads of options, ...perhaps a total change of scenery? Toronto is a really nice city, BTW, with many opportunities for friendships with like-minded skaters like yourself.

I hope she regains her joy for the sport, some time soon.

Can we bring back Gracie's "Life Is Beautiful" program where she had a real smile, big jumps, and skating looked fun. Then she'll go to the K & C and Alex will give her a huge hug.

 

[stryke]

Anastasia's sad face always shatters my heart.

 

[janav]

Finally a nice FS dress for Alena!

 

[NAOTMAA]

I see Gracie's still getting held up by PCS.

She still penciled in as US #1 even though Ashley is the one with the world medal

But if she continues this way USFSA will finally have to stop being stubbon and make Ashley #1

111 for that skate was crazy. Even her SP was overmarked

 

[Watermelondrea]

On a positive note, TAT mentioned that Eteri has a group of very talented kids that will be top in a few years.

But when doesn't Eteri have a group of very talented kids that will be on top in a few years?

 

[matcha]

lol more skipping.

 

[andromache]

Do we know how Gracie is training this season?

Last season we knew she was awesome in training, bad in competition. But this season she is so much worse in competition that I wonder if her practices reflect that?

Love Alena's hair soooooooooo much and I like this dress. But those tan skates are making me cringe.

A really, really bad movie. I think it won razzies.
