2017 JGP Latvia Ladies FS

[Tolstoj]

Not in the same class as Trusova & Taranakova for me at all...those are programs I will rewatch. Couldn't wait for this one to end.

As much as i like watching Tarakanova, Trusova is in a class of her own.

 

[matcha]

Oh, she's just lovely.

BRONZE FOR EMMY BRONZE FOR EMMY BRONZE FOR EMMY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Also her and her coach's reactions were priceless!

 

[EdgeCall]

Excellent Emmy! Could just as well be the winner, if you ask me.

Although I wonder who her choreographer is. Being in sync with the rhythm does not yet make a great choreo. Looking at her movements, as graceful as they are, makes me think she skates to a completely different tune than the one playing. In the SP it was even worse.

 

[frida80]

Our first medal in 2 years! Yes!

 

[OS]

Congrats Emmy!! First outing at JGP, you medalled!!

 

[xeyra]

Alisa isn't going to get another assignment, will she?

But great job girls! Dasha, Rika and Emmy, congrats!

 

[matmuh]

she doesnt have 3-3, wonder why she doesnt replace one of her 2A with 3T :think: well done and congratz for bronze!!
Rika could have had it all if she landed her 3A but she had great comeback :dance:

 

[lavenderblossom]

Sad for Dasha and Alisa because they could not skate her best, although Dasha still won. Congrats to Emmy! I missed her yesterday but her skating is delightful to watch. Bronze!

 

[Tulipstar]

Love how happy she is.
Glad she got a medal.

And Rika is back in the race for JGPF spot as well

summarizing: good job Kihira, pretty bad skate from everyone else. Was kinda unexpected to see Dasha failing, all last skaters were too nervous i think

Emmy 3T isn't consistent yet. She learned her advanced triples first.

 

[StitchMonkey]

Ok.... so can we get Emmy a second JGP spot now?

 

[Princessroja]

BRONZE!!!! :hap93:

Man, if Emmy keeps skating like that and gets her 3-3s...

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Yasss good job Emmy!! Very impressive! I haven't seen it yet but I know I need to.
Not as good a skate as Dasha would have wanted but still good enough for gold. Good job in her first JGP!

 

[Tolstoj]

Good for Emma but what a disappointment for Alisa losing to a skater with such poor technical contents. (no 3-3)

For her standards she could have been easily second, and now she is screwed once again and she won't get the second assigment and likely she's out also at Nationals (since this is her second season she's doing like this)

 

[sequinsgalore]

No, the twinkling notes, lol!!

OS, I cannot think of who had a dress like this?? I have watched skating for 35 years so I have seen lots of dresses.

Christina Gao has worn a dress that reminds me of it.

I agree, she needs to Miyahara up that FP to counteract the lack of 3-3.

I had actually wondered if she had borrowed Christina's dress.

If Emmy's skate qualifies as a "pretty bad skate," I'd sure hate to know what your qualifications for a good one are...

I mean, probably you meant the others in the group, but gotta make sure Emmy's not forgotten
