2017 GP Internationaux de France Ladies FS

[Totentanz]

This is the wisest strategy nowadays. Keep it simple, skate clean. No need for tano and rippon jumps or difficult transitions unless you are a ladies skater in Russia. Now watch the real difficulty in Zagitova's program.

Mai's skating is very calming. She isn't flashy, but she'll never have a melt down.

Alina could still win this I guess if she skate her best and Osmond falters.

 

[LadyB]

Go on Alina! Redeem yourself!

64, excuse me? I'm waiting to see the protocols.

 

[rollerblade]

Wait... what was that? An Ina Bauer that lasted more than 1 second from Alina?

I just wish I saw some more respect that she put herself out there. I understand that it wasn't the greatest skate in the world, but I think she's shown improvement from competition to competition. It just doesn't seem like the criticism I see is very constructive.

Well..I would say that constructive criticism takes time and thought and most people don't do that in the competition threads so it tends to get whittled down to bullet points and yes some people are more critical than others but it doesn't mean they are picking on her. Sorry you feel she was disrespected. Crucified is such a strong word. It is a great Tori Amos song though.

I wouldn’t mind all the jumps in second half if her skating was beautiful and smooth

Alina's program: A ballerina into a jumping bean.

Doing great.

Wait... what was that? An Ina Bauer that lasted more than 1 second from Alina?

She did it at Cup of China too. She's holding some these positions a little longer this season.

 

[SarahSynchro]

I feel like a couple under rotations creeped in at the end though, Can't tell...
