2016 World Championships Ladies SP

[skylark]

Really lovely skate from Yasmine!

I love Zhao's costume

Yamada's skating is still VERY juniorish to me, but that was generally nicely done. I look forward to seeing her develop more on the presentation side.

I wouldn't bother getting too interested in how Yamada progresses over the next few years. After all, all Ladies skaters representing Switzerland retire when they are 19.

Maybe we can make a list of skaters who need cheering up and organize a card/small gift/whatever campaign for them?

So... Laurine's on the list

We should do that.

From last night, I think we should put Nam and Han on it...

ziquan skates so slow...hahha

 

[TatiMax]

wow, lucky evgenia. that's such a good start position. i really hope she doesn't have score a world record though.

I am not her fan but what if she skates enough for a record? She then deserves it.

I lovelovelove Ziquan's dress. I would have guessed an Indian inspired program to go with it, but I like big band.

Any working (not geoblocked) stream? I would like to watch something before Eurosport starts with it. Please help me

5 Ziquan ZHAO (CHN)

Music: Caravan by Duke Ellington

Blue sparkly dress, gold underskirt, red sash

3T+3T - ok, but looked +3T<
FCSp
CCoSp3p
3Lo - ok, maybe <
2A
StSq
LSp

Solid skate, but she needs a lot more speed and power, especially to rotate those jumps

SP: 32.41+20.39 = 52.80, 2/5

 

[tulosai]

Unfortunately that didn't do much for me... it seemed sooooo slow and endless

Zhao's music???? Don't coach's research good music? Kinda weird.

Only so far...

I think Zhao has an awesome bielman? :scratch: And my live result page died...

 

[ruffledgrouse]

We should do that.

I actually have a paper list started with me. I was going to concentrate on the lower level skater because the big names usually have a fan base to take care of them...but, yeah, I'll add those two :hopelessness:

I think you should put the list up somewhere...

At one point in the program I thought my stream's music was off because she just wasn't skating to the music.

She looks pleased at least.

I guess if her jumps and artistry improved a ton between euros and now, then I guess so.

 

[EdgeCall]

Like Ziquan as a whole, like the dress, like the music, but she really needs more power.

I don't think Evgenia's BV is high enough to have a realistic shot of breaking the SP world record. Both she and Mao do a 3F and 3Lo, but Mao's 3A and 2Lo points are hard to match with a 3T and 2A, even doing everything in the bonus. Liza did four triples in the SP and couldn't do it.
