2018 GP Helsinki Ladies Short Program

[Metis]

This SP has grown on me, but considering my first reaction was “LAUNCH IT INTO THE SUN,” I don’t know how much of an improvement that is. I truly hate POTO... but Alina’s dress is stellar.

aaaannnndddd I told you guys things could be crazy

 

[EdRoz]

Oops Alina

 

[cheerknithanson]

Oh no.

 

[leoleo]

[Danny T]

Oh my god

 

[frida80]

Yeah. This ice is cursed.

 

[Metis]

What just happened

She did The Bradie, alas.

But that's only supposed to apply to people who leave! What is this timeline

She'll come back in the FS probably

 

[Fluture]

Don‘t be hard on yourself, my girl, you still will win! Just rock the FS tomorrow!

 

[Seren]

Bad start on the jumps for Alina but I love that spin.

So Evgenia and Alina both miss their first combos of the GP

*X Files music plays*

Isn't she more beautiful with a little less makeup ?

 

[jillredhand]

Well, I guess the CBC stream is behind a minute or so ... so the thread spoiled me. Whoops. Like last week, I guess the theme of this GP season is never bank on skaters you think are shoe-ins for the GPF.

 

[lavenderblossom]

My stream is so behind, I only just saw her pop her loop

 

[Metis]

I don’t think it’s the ice — she’s hitting her levels on the spins and steps... which is impressive, considering she could have lost the programme after the opening error.

If she has a clean or cleanish free, she’s still the odds-on favourite to win, but Kaori has an actual chance now. Who knows.

And Evgenia was first in FP the next day. Same will happen for Alina!
