2017 World Ladies SP

Looks like Wagner will most likely just miss the cut for the final group (if Sot and Pogo deliver)..

 

[gravy]

This is some seriously crappy camera work. What is this, a senior B?

PCS 33 for ashley ?

 

[Warwick360]

Nailed it. I am impressed.

 

[Lissy]

I give Ashley a ton of credit. I definitely saw improvements from nationals in the transitions and the speed even. But if she wants to be anywhere near the Olympic program, those spins and skating skills need to improve significantly. And her jumps look less convincing than last year.

However, the score still seems low to me? Especially the PCS.

 

[Seren]

Sotskova's skating doesn't do anything for me. I don't doubt her talent but she doesn't move me like Evgenia or Anna.

 

[Yatagarasu]

Good Masha, good!

 

[Alchamei]

Love Masha's music. Don't like all of the choreo and she is still not impactful as others. She has potencial tho.

Maria Sotskova:

Strong 3Lz+3T to open. Fine 3F and 2A. Spins were a bit slower and a bit sloppier than from those in past performances. The step sequence could have filled out the music a bit more, and I felt she was careful and nervous. I thinks she's better than this SP allows her to be. But a competent SP nonetheless.

Sotskova is like Soldatova 2.0 to me (minus all of Soldatova's URs).

Will she repeat the Soldatova bronze?

 

[kevinVchicago]

Maria Sotskova brought something extra special today, no? I don't know why exactly but I think that was my favorite of the competition so far.

This better not go above Gabby.

The ladies are killing it.

Nice solid skate from Maria. Her skating has grown on me over the course of this season. Hope for the better program next season at the Olympics. She is READY for the better!


The camera work during her performance made me seasick.

 

[tulosai]

I'm sorry but Maria is just so boring to me. I'm hoping she'll develop more of a personality out there in the coming years.

Lol, I noticed it. Too much of zooming out. This is not a travel documentary.

 

[Warwick360]

Maria is making me sleepy. She's the Russian version of Polina Edmunds.

Somewhat agree. The jumps are impressive but the music is so jarring with her choreo....could have been better.

 

[Corwin]

OSMOND 76 really?

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Another 70+ E:Oh, i was close. I thought she deserved it

 

[andromache]

I loooooove Maria.

Score seems fair.
