2017 GP Internationaux de France Ladies FS

[gravy]

Never seen Zagi live, but Yuna's almost constant leaning forward posture and stiff arms really stand out. I don't have much of a problem with her PCS at the moment, but Mai's PCS never rising is what's bothering me.

Alina's also hunched throughout her program though. Apart from the disconnect between doing a ballet program and her ugly posture, it means that her skating skills aren't that good--she has to take an athletic pose while doing her crossovers to gain speed. Meh.

Ladies redeem themselves My life is beautifull again Go Kaetlyn

Yet Alina has some of the smallest jump out there.

They may be small, but at least they are wide!

Biting my nails for Wakaba right now......

Wakaba's not in it!

 

[brens78]

That 3rd Russian spot for the Olympics will be interesting

If Osmond beats Maria, Maria's out of GPF.

 

[GGFan]

Love Maria's coaches. So supportive.

 

[yuna]

Alina's going to GPF!

Sotskova did really amazing! I like her so much! She has so classy, elegant style of skating. And she's so consistent. So emotional. She really feels it and put her heart in skating. I bet, she would be even more amazing in some less known pieces of music. And I wonder, how she'd skate to some non-classical music
And good to see some supportive coaches!

I saw a video of Medvedeva when she was a little girl. She was really tiny little thing even back then. A very small version of what she's now.

With the news about Yulia and Gracie, I think everyone is worried and hyper-aware of EDs right now. But it's almost impossible to tell who has an ED and who's just naturally skinny if you don't know them personally (and sometimes not even then)

Here we go. I'm so nervous. I literally can't even. Where is my Starbucks?!?

 

[kevinVchicago]

Masha's coaches are too cute. Love them. And she's so nervous and kind in the middle

 

[Bluediamonds09]

Wow, the callers are really missing people’s underrotations!! Not just Maria, everyone!

 

[Kara]

Wakaba's not in it!

Sorry I meant about whether she'll be able to get into the final..If Kaetlyn bombs and gets lower than 2nd, Wakaba might not make it. Kind of selfish to say it here though, I apologize!

Here we go. I'm so nervous. I literally can't even. Where is my Starbucks?!?

I pray to the god of Pumpkin Spice for Katelyn

 

[winky97]

sotskova vs tsurtskaya for the third Olympic sport!:dev2:

I like Sotskova, but if it's got to be between the two of them I would rather see Polina. I don't see Eteri's having the whole team though so they may not send Sotskova.

 

[Giselle]

Swan lake (or should I say "Black Swan") is really the new Carmen.

 

[Tolstoj]

Wow, the callers are really missing people’s underrotations!! Not just Maria, everyone!

I wonder if the lenient panel is a consequence to the poor ice quality.

 

[Alba]

If Osmond beats Maria, Maria's out of GPF.

I want Tsurskaya. Someone has to skate to GoT at the Oly damn it!

 

[LadyB]

I must admit, I'm not getting tired of the swans. Each time is different and I definitely enjoy Kaetlyn's version very much.
