PCS refuses to make sense as usual :dev2:
Hopefully that wasn’t the interesting part for you. Even if it was incongruous to the music.
Nowadays it feels like a miracle every time Evgenia can successfully land her jump when i watch her. I think her body change really affected her.
Ah you wouldn't happen to be pro Japan would you? Well everyone has a right but I hope for some diversity personally.Please all the skating gods may the podium be:
1. Rika
2. Mai
3. Marin
From Brian Orser's interview in sport magazine "Number" I bought yesterday.
"This season is going to be hard for her (Medvedeva) since we are trying to change her skating style from a young girls' into an adult's. During the process, she will not be able to jump because the jump form will be changed and her performance itself is going to be awkward. We might not get good result in one year. Mao Asada took 4 years to be the world champion again after she went to Nobuo Sato, and we are thinking of giving her the same path."
SP took place at 2 am in where I live so I missed it, I hope the videos are not geo-blocked. FS is going to be exciting, good luck to all skaters!
First reaction to the scores: Well this wasn't what I was expecting. Caught up, short thoughts:
- Marin went clean! :hap57: I still miss her dress at Nebelhorn, but she was charming as she is and even made me forget to dislike mismatching gloves.
- Zhenya doubled her -3T, but still her jumps were better than at SA. However, she looked much more nervous and her movements were lacking the liveliness she showed at SA. My confused feelings aside, her dress seems different but I can't pinpoint exactly what has changed. Or it may be that my memory is getting even worse.
- When is Kihira Rika going to land that 3A in her short, I wonder. It was kinda the same as at NHK, 3A failed (this time it was worse since invalidation) but otherwise lovely.
- Mihara Mai has greatly benefited from her consistency here, who'd have imagined she'd be the leader going into the free? I have no complaints, she was very much lovely.
- Mae Berenice Meite pulled off a clean skate in front of the home crowd, how nice. I prefer her blue dress though.
- Maria Sotskova did better here and seemed to enjoy herself more. I still don't buy the program though...
- Bradie Tenell should consider just doing a 3Lz-3T instead of the 3Lz-3Lo, I was surprised that she didn't fall on that lutz. But great job at saving the combo.
- Alexia Paganini was going well (minus juvenile tango movements) then she fell hard on the 2A. Wishing her a better free.
- Well that was a bad skate from Stanislava Konstantinova. You could see the dejection during her step sequence.
- I had just watched the movie Bohemian Rhapsody three days ago, so that cover Lea Serna is using was especially atrocious. She had a lovely dress though.
- Rough day for Laurine Lecavelier. I read something about her leg being injured, hope she's okay.

If the podium stays at it is, who is in the final? Rika, Satoko, Kaori, Mai, Liza and Alina?
And if Rika wins, Mai second and Evgenia third? Rika, Satoko, Kori, Liza, Alina and Sofia right?
So for Med to get it she has to be at least second with a score higher than Sofia. Am I correct? What score does she need in the LP?
Thanks!
I don't get... everybody screams how Evgenia improved her 2A...
emmm. Where? These axels looks the same to me. Except for that she used to do a difficult entry and tano. and now she don't.

I think Evgenia‘s problems are more mental than physical right now. We have seen already that she can interpret a program like her SP at test skates, she was flirty, sassy and smiling a lot there. But recently nerves have just gotten to her. When you see her jumps in practice vs. actual competition it‘s like it was two different skaters performing them. All the pressure on such a young woman is simply insane and honestly, it‘s understandable she crumbles....
...She has made some improvements. Her jumps all have better technique and more height. She has more flow when skating.
And what if it was! [emoji4][emoji16][emoji23]Hopefully that wasn’t the interesting part for you [emoji23]
Her mental problems now are because she seems to be at loss. She cannot change the program that does not fit her, her physical conditions for whatever reasons are way off the times when she did 3-3-3 for fun.
Only 132? A total score of over 198 will do it. That is easily in her reach.
