2017 GP Skate Canada Ladies FS

[Roast Toast]

I like Karen, but it's fairly obvious this is a self-choreographed program.

 

[Jammers]

To bad about the jumps but if she skates this clean at Nationals she will bring the house down. Her all around skating is so much better then Wagner's. If both are clean Chen should win almost every time out.

We'll for only being two weeks old the program wasn't as big a mess as I was expecting lol...it's actually quite beautiful

 

[kevinVchicago]

the 2 canadians did so badly that it probably froze the crowd a bit... crane and lecavelier are complete new comers to the sport

There is no excuse for not knowing Lauriiiiiiiine! [emoji7]

 

[rain]

Karen has stamina issue

Yes, towards the end she really slowed down, popped the jump, conditioning is clearly a factor.

Stunning layback, beillman.

 

[Mikansei]

I prefer this program, glad she ditched the carmen. She was really focused though, interpretation will probably be better later in the season.

Edit: happy to see skaters choreographing their own programs plus points

Is Regina at elevation? Could that be why the skaters are stuggling?

Regina is 1893′ while in comparison Colorado Springs is 6035'

3 pops, but some good elements in there. Lyrical mature choreo, still needs polishing and highlights

FS: 46.64+61.99 = 108.63, 170.40, 3/7

Karen always frustrates me..so much potential - nice Lutz, great spins, lovely music, but just can never be consistent

 

[Icey]

I'm sorry to say this, but Karen's program is a snoozefest. Maybe it will get better as the season progresses.

Yes, same reaction here; especially after the first min or so

 

[Lissy]

Ouch.

 

[kresslia]

108, oh god

Maybe this tech panel will act as a bit of a wake-up call for skaters.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Damn, she dropped all the way to third behind Ash

 

[kevinVchicago]

Overscored.
Next!

 

[Shayuki]

Karen choreographed her LP herself

No wonder it's so very empty. The spiral was the only thing of note in the entire program.

 

[Sabrina]

Go Rika!

 

[Violet Bliss]

Well, tbh, thats how people imagine Canada outisde canada, mostly.
Actually, its both Canada and Russia on all this lumberjack, polar bears and blablabla thing

The most outdated and mistaken national image is that of China.

 

[yuna]

108..ouch..the judges strike again

 

[LittleLotte29]

Well, this is a brand new program, no? So it looks really well.

 

[jenm]

I miss seeing beautiful layback ina bauers.
