2016 World Championships Ladies Free Skate

[tinlizzie]

Lots of mistakes but a beautiful program for a beautiful girl. This is a fantastic GWTW program!

 

[LongTimeLurker]

Wish Alane would dye her hair a more natural, flattering colour, she is a pretty girl.

 

[Imagine]

SHE'S the Canadian champ???? Whaaaa......???

Better costuming than Polina though. Program is terrible.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

UGHHHH my stream froze after the first jump... how'd she do?

I could tell from the first high five that she was going out there weak style. Kinda yucky!

 

[Crossover]

Still love the program. Alaine should've repeated her National performance.

[Button's Niece]

Actually caught myself thinking the program "went south" before realizing it was a pun...

 

[Vili67]

my stream just died.

(the ten seconds i saw of alaine looked fine, though.)

awwww no

Mine too :'(

The audience has given enthusiastic cheers and standing ovations for non-American skaters. Including me when I was there.

The difference's still clear. I'm saying I hope they realize that she's essentially as American as Kristiina Mäki is Finnish

Alaine's tissue box is adorable.

 

[WeakAnkles]

I wish Chartrand would stop jumping with her arms and shoulders. I keep expecting her to shout Ta Dahhhhhhhhhhh! each time she jumps.

It would also help if they chose MUSIC WITH A SLOWER TEMPO for her. She's got a frantic quality, especially when she gets nervous, and I think a slower tempo would help temper that. Otherwise, she gets SO revved up she misses jump after jump.

Two great spin positions though. In fact, the spins were the best part for me.

It's great when she's on point.

 

[Watermelondrea]

What are they saying about Radionova on the Russian stream?

Have you seen Smirnov? THAT was bold.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Alaine has some of my favorite spin positions. The toe touch spin, the sideways sit, the outside edge haircutter- I hope other skaters start picking them up.

She was on my list from the short... but I think I'll take her off? She looks disappointed, but okay in the KnC.

 

[s_parks]

She's going to get hosed on tes.

You got a standing ovation? Good for you. I would join in for that
