2018 JGP Ljubljana Ladies Short Program

[Ichatdelune]

It's not the likeliest scenario, but if Haein manages a podium finish I'm going to be ecstatic. I was over the moon with Yelim last week, if Haein does pull that off...

Just watched Tomoe! Wow. That 3Lz-3T! And I love her 3F, too. All of her jumps really. She deserves that 1st place. Very happy for her.

Regardless, she sure was a pleasure to watch today... :thumbsup:

Is it just me, or was there a UR on the 3T? it looked under to me at least.
I love her 3Lz though.

I thought Tarusina was much better than Tarakanova, who looked distressed. Tarusina's program looked much more polished and I liked her skating better.

Tomoe's 3T did look UR to me too, don't know if judges called it UR tho! wouldn't be surprised cause they have been ignoring so many URs this season. we'll see the protocols
I wonder if Haein got a ! on her flip again. She always gets them

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Clean air in Ljubljana is definitely worth mentioning Ted :agree:

Oh god, please tell me she didn't. It's her SB, I want to see a clean protocol for her...

And they are playing 'High by the beach' by Lana Del Rey

Oh god, please tell me she didn't. It's her SB, I want to see a clean protocol for her...

it'd be interesting if that's her score with a ! cause it means she can go even higher :agree:

Forza Lucrezia, mad props for her having 'Phantom Thread' score used in her FS!

I think artistically she is underrated: among all juniors she's probably the best at really performing and owning the program.

Tarakanova has a very nice short program, you can see why the PCS are higher because of the difficult transitions but she looks much more nervous, last year she was a bit like Tarusina going all out, this year she's a bit more reserved.

It looked UR to me, too but I try not to focus on those things on the Junior circuit because they mostly don‘t call such things anyway. We‘ve seen so many URs be ignored already.

I was surprised Tarakanova's PCS were higher, but I did not spend too much time analyzing them. Tarusina just looked smoother to me and sold the program better. Tarakanova's lines were really bad in comparison.

I agree that Tarakanova seemed a bit nervous. But I like her approach, the choreography is very mature and I loved that little wink at the end. I can only imagine how that program will turn out if she skates it full of confidence and like her usual self!

I won‘t say much about Tarusina since I frankly just don‘t get her skating and it‘s better to say nothing than to say bad things all the time but: She‘s a bit older than the other girls, so it‘s natural that she seems more mature. She also seems to really love to be on the big stage and perform. Also, rarely makes mistakes that interrupt the skate so kudos for that as well.

I don't know why, but I had it in my head that she was older. So, I got a shock when Ted said she was 14.

Probably a symptom of me watching a lot of Italian competitions a few years ago.

Tarakanova is better with the blades. You can see how easily she gaining the speed for example.

Omg I'm such a Rion fangirl now. She just floats.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Felt sorry for Gemma looking so disappointed on the sofa. Especially when I liked her music so much.

She's now in 23[SUP]rd[/SUP], splitting what had been a group of local skaters.

Rion skates with such joy - she just makes me smile...
