Liza doesn't have her mother or father's natural grace or glide. But at least she isn't wearing a vinyl giraffe costume.

Holy Moly.......Emmy Ma is a spectacular performer and I have never seen her until 3 minutes ago. I've seen several videos and articles about Starr and Liza and Emmy hasn't been on my radar screen. That will change after tonight. Good luck to all these young ladies in the free program.

I'd hoped we could avoid comparing Liza to her parents. She's not her mother or father. I like her even still.

I watched Emma at sectionals and she was magnificent. I got serious kwan vibes, especially when she did her spiral. At the end of her skate I could feel myself tearing up, it was that good. Afterwards I had a short chat with her. She's a very sweet girl!

I remember watching Emmy's sectionals and thought she had really stiff arms. Nice posture but her movements seemed too strained and uncomfortable for me to watch in the long haul...

But I'm glad to see she and Starr did well here Good luck to all the ladies in the FS.

You should give her a second look. The young Lady that I just watched has gorgeous posture and a lyrical and fluid style. She must have improved from the last time you saw her.

Yeah I haven't seen her performance today but she was indeed very fluid and elegant in her younger years which was why I was when I saw her recent sectional skates.

Congrats to Miss Ma. Let us hope her injury heals and we see that 3 plus 3.

Does Liza have a strong enough Free Program to pull herself up in the ranking with a strong free program?

She's about 4.5 points out of Pewter right now, which doesn't seem like a huge gap, but her FS at Sectionals was only the 8th highest of 12 when compared to all the other Junior Ladies so it'll depend heavily on how the other skaters do. Her tech isn't the highest (no 3-3s) which limits her for now (but can definitely be improved upon in the future)

I'll be keeping my eye on Starr Andrews! Hopefully that 3-3 gets upgraded the next couple of years. WOW! Liking the Rippon 3T!!!

 

[topaz emerald]

Nguyen is promising but since she just turned 13 anything can happen in the next few years but nice to see her going for the 3-3's which are needed to contend now in Juniors. I'm sure as she gets older she will gain more speed and power.

yup, I think once she gains speed and power, she will be the one to watch.

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

Keeping my fingers crossed for Liza.

don't you think she kind of jumps like her father, though? I see a resemblance.

 

[truthbooth]

I'm happily surprised to see Emmy is first! I thought this was a well-skated event overall.

 

[mrrice]

I finally caved. All these years of holding out and I finally caved in and bought it. At least 4CC and worlds will be easier to watch.

Please let me know how that go's. I've been waiting for positive reviews before I get an IceNetwork Pass. I will definitely get one for next season as it's Olympic Year.

I'll probably be running the iPad and the computer at the same time just so I can compare which when I really want to look at. Last year I did euro sports and CBC with the VPN. The high definition was awesome. At least it's convenient.

It'll probably be upgraded next year. She's probably working on a 3Lo+3T and a 3lz+3T for next season. It's good she has a basic triple triple down so in case something happens in the short program or the long program you can just throw an extra one like Zhenia and Elizabet.
