2016 Trophée de France Ladies FS

[s_parks]

didier responsible for tears in figure skating since forever(seriously, how many people cried in this event), is the ffsg so incompetent that they have horrid ice and no actual flags now for medal ceremonies... he's really determined to beat out korea and china for Worst Fed Ever

 

[Rissa]

I'm watching with company so I wasn't able to ask earlier: was there anything with the ice? It was a total splatfest and I'd like to know if there's some mundane reason for it...

 

[frida80]

The announcers just said it was a sensational day of skating. Sensational day? Have you been watching for the last two hours?

 

[Florencito]

What an sad way to end this (ex)TEB

 

[sabinfire]

Are any of the skaters talking about the bad ice? British Eurosport seemed to mostly ignore it, I don't recall them talking about it at all.

 

[MaiKatze]

What a horrible event. Like the SP. And poor Gabrielle. So heartbroken.

This name has already been claimed by Cup of Disaster 2014 held in China. Actually several of the Cups held in China can be called that.

Trophee de Tragediè? Trophee de Fusion?

(Google translate told me Fusion was Meltdown in French, so I hope it actually is.)

Wet ice. It wrecks havoc on jumps.

Can I remake a song??
NO Ladies skaters NO CRY

 

[Lota]

Well... I guess maybe at least the ice was bad for everyone? None of the skaters looked comfortable, so it really depended on who was more stable (in more senses than one).

If Wakaba wins NHK, she stands a chance going into the GPF, since the judges are now calling Miyahara's jumps.

gabby will learn from this. i cannot believe the combo did her in today... i feared it may happen when i saw she drew last to skate... she wanted that medal too much. She said, 4th again.... i hope she doesn't start headcasing. She's too good for that. LOVE YA GIRLFRIEND!

Ouch poor Gabby, that Wakababy 65 PCS really made a huge difference didn't it.

I am iffy about either result... but just to show pcs does matter... sigh..

Well done Wakaba, that is a fantastic result for you. Finally some recognition from the judges as Japan's next big star. Bit lucky with the PCS given the judges really want to build up a big score.

Unlucky for Gabby. It has got to hurt after such a fantastic SP. Come back stronger next time.

Trophee de Tragediè seems fancy and accurate. Approved.

 

[Watermelondrea]

Looks like the GPF is gonna be 4 russians and Satoko and Ashley.... Any thoughts?

 

[Crossover]

The announcers just said it was a sensational day of skating. Sensational day? Have you been watching for the last two hours?

I think they meant "sensational (splatfest) day".

ugly comments about Evgenia are out of line and disgusting......
shame on you :disagree::disagree::disagree:


My warmest congratulations to Evgenia, Maria, Wakaba.

 

[nolangoh]

Finally the torture is over. I am going to watch Satoko's FS 10 times and then sleep. I wish this event had never taken place

Fusion is more a chemical thing (can apply to volcano's magma for example) or like in chemistry for figure skating, it doesn't fit IMO. Can't think of a proper word to translate meltdown's idea in french. Catastrophe is the closest I get right now. Désastre was quite good.
