2016 World Championships Ladies Free Skate

[Nightcrawler]

No, Gracie's got a lot of politicking to cover up her inconsistency. Not everybody is affected the same way, I think. But for Mao to come back she has do to so decisively to bring up her reputation points. She has to convince the powers that be that she is/should be the favorite, then she can get those PCS above 70+.

(That's true... )

 

[WeakAnkles]

Nah, it's actually owned by Shae-Lynn and Victor.

How about co-ownership? With Rika borrowing?

[Zhenya is DIVINE]

I'm afraid Gabby is the only skater Mirai will be able to get ahead of in this competition. She is so much better than 9th in the World!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Zijun was pretty.

 

[Layback11]

Solid!

Also, Rika was ELECTRIFYING and that (well, that and Fix You) is the one program I'm most glad I got to see in person. :agree:

 

[da96103]

Just liked I hoping for earlier!

So Rika steals from many skaters?

As they said in college, if you copy from ONE source it is plagiarism, if you copy from MANY sources, it is a thesis.

 

[Crossover]

Zijun was so lovely.

 

[Lota]

I wonder if there will ever come a day when the judges allow Rika to go ahead of Mao. Because there have been questionable results twice this season.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Way to go Zijun....lose the big band stuff for next year and stick to your strength. Beautiful soft elegance. Nothing wrong with doing you better than anyone else can!!!

 

[Serious Business]

Zijun really needs to staccato up that final step sequence to realize the beat and get the audience into it.

 

[desertskates]

Unfortunately, that did nothing for me. When I watch a skater become visibly tired, it just kind of drags me down. Hope she finds music that suits he better for next season.

 

[Shayuki]

Zijun is a pretty girl. So that's something at least.

Such a pretty girl! The best face of the competition for sure.

 

[randomfan]

Lost some energy at the end, but I'm very happy that Zijun stayed on her feet! Hopefully they don't hammer her with URs (#Kanako Murakami).

 

[s_parks]

Still far and away her best this season. I guess going to Carroll helped.

 

[Batsuchan]

First combo UR, last DG for Rika

1 UR and e for Zijun

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Zijun is a lovely, refined skater, but she just seems so slow and lacking in power to me. Also, the middle section of this program didn't do her any favours, especially with the rather long 'coffee break'.

 

[Imagine]

Why is everyone doing so well in this group lol.....

Hope they save some good mojo for Gracie...

 

[DaPurpleDino]

Just got back and what happened with Rika's score???? I saw her performance and it looked really good I thought she would be above mao at least
