2016 World Championships Ladies Free Skate

[rollerblade]

If I take Mao's PCS and divide by 1.6, it's around 43.
If I take Max's PCS and divide by 2.0, it's around 39.

Essentially, Mao outscored Max in PCS by about..... 4!

Hopefully that isn't how "PCS factoring" work.

I've just watched Jason's 2014 skate too recently to not compare the two which makes me feel bad.

I think my Russian stream TES box is broken, the current high shows Mao's but the isu results page says Elizabet has higher TES?

It shows the TES of the leader, and that's Mao

 

[NanaPat]

I miss Jason but liked this...

I miss Bourne and Kraatz.

Normally Rika's TES drops after her jumps being reviewed but who cares, I buy everything she sells.

Aside from that one stumble, FANTASTIC JOB, RIKA!!! I was squeeing with every jump landed!!! :hap93:

 

[Alchamei]

129.26! Behind Mao.

 

[nolangoh]

YES RIKA YOU MURDERED THE PROGRAM!! Im so glad she is so calm and enjoyed it. Always put a smile on your face!

 

[twirlingblades]

RIKAAAAAA i love her

 

[Watermelondrea]

Was her SB still at COC?

 

[cheerknithanson]

Of course this makes me think of Jason. But Rika did fabulous!

 

[desertskates]

That's the best I've seen Rika! Ahe definitely knows what works for her.

 

[Lota]

A little fumble at the end, but other than that, SHE SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYED!!!!!!!! :hap93:

Great skate, just a brainfart at the end. Lovely energy during steps.

You are always spot on. That really was s brainfart you could see it in her face.

I thank the Australian SBS for not cutting off Mao, but they cut off Rika! And I love me some Irish dancing, so rude. :sad21:

I am gagging for this SBS coverage though! I've never been able to watch figure skating over my sunday brekkie!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Nice job by Rika, but her posture needs so much work still. Also, I found that her speed didn't match the level of the music until the footwork sequence.

 

[da96103]

American audience love Riverdance, don't they?

Maybe it reminded them of an absent Jason Brown.
Rika is Brown-by-proxy.

 

[Plisskin]

1st combo Ur'ed. She gave a great performance though. (Partial)? standing-o.

 

[KwanIsALegend]

Rika is not thrilled with her marks.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Got to love this program.

Sorry but choreographically, and performance-wise, Jason Brown owns that music. Good job Rika, but not a patch on Jason. And you stole his music edit, note by note. Just saying.
