2017 Jr Worlds Ladies SP

US girl is doing well. Good for her.

We'll see after Shin has his say.

 

[Chemistry66]

I've never seen her before, I think but I love her

Bradie's done mostly Seniors this past season - bronze medal at CS Tallinn Trophy this season. 11th at JWs last year.

 

[EdgeCall]

Not bad, although the connection to the music was missing a bit. It looked like a rhythmic gymnastics routine.

Of course Alina is a great skater but 7 pts higher just on TES? Nuh uh.

 

[frida80]

She had a < on her 3T, I think. Other than that great job!

 

[4everchan]

amano took care of Bradie

 

[breadstal]

Sarah now, I loved her on Nationals

 

[MarinHondas]

Of course Alina is a great skater but 7 pts higher just on TES? Nuh uh.

she backloaded everything and had more transitions along with rippons. I prefer Bradie but Alina deserved a much higher score.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Go go go

 

[Chemistry66]

57.47 for Bradie is a new SB (but not a new PB - she scored about a point higher last year).

Both US girls qualified for the final and both with a decent chance of good placement. Here's hoping Bradie and Starr can hold it together in the FS!

Yes, it's called backloading, rippons, etc. Sorry but that's how that works. Everyone else is free to try it too.

 

[breadstal]

Messy jumps :hopelessness:

 

[4everchan]

oh sarah..... so much work you gave amano... not good

 

[chuckm]

Tamura skates with zero expression. That doesn't help when your jumps aren't there.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

You know, it must be demorallising for the skaters having Zagitova going so early.

Like, if Bradie had gone one slot earlier, she would be celebrating taking the lead.

But, because Alina is so far in front, there was no celebrating at all from Bradie.

And she should be celebrating, because that was a very good skate.

A bit? You're being kind.

 

[Hannah555]

Alina wow

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Totally recognize and respect that it's for points, but the leg raises and abrupt short-held spirals throughout just seemed a little disjointed. Not a comment on her but perhaps the way PCS is graded

It's not the point to be always pleasing for the eyes. It's a competitive figure skating, not exibition...

 

[breadstal]

I'll be back for Eunsoo, good luck to skaters

 

[bobbob]

Alina was great technically...Evgenia 2.0....high technical score understood, pcs was fair

Bradie skated very well, but scores make sense....

Sarah Tamura did not have a good skate, unfortunately. Combo looked very UR...scores seems VERY high for what she put out there
