2018 Nepela Trophy Ladies Free Skate

[gonewiththewind25]

My heart breaks every time Polina doesn't do well because she has so much potential and she really could be the number one Russian... It's so frustrating to see her struggling to put it together

 

[Mrs. P]

So it's okay that they struggle because you're tired of seeing Russians be good?

It's the old phrase, "You can't win it all." Doesn't reflect anything on how good the Russian ladies are as a whole.

[Dr. Jenn]

Oooh, pretty dress - I just wish that it was all lilac.

 

[rikaquegira]

Polina’s program is so good! You can see it. Unfortunately the jumps were a struggle...
I hope she’s more prepared next time. That was tough to watch.

It is getting easier and easier to pick out the Juliets once you know what the costume choices nearly always are.

Well this is exciting for Slovakia though, a skater in the final group, she has a chance to do really well here! Go home girl!

Although another R&J is there a new movie coming out? Are these ladies still in school and they're doing the play this year in Literature class or something?

 

[leoleo]

wow i made it home right before Rika! how did Polina do? and lilbet?

 

[frida80]

Now that you've mentioned it, it must happen! Talk about a lesson in contrasts!

The camera work at this comp is so weird! Is it always like this?

Like Rafael, Mariah and Rohene all in the Kiss and Cry together?

 

[rikaquegira]

oh lord!! Is there something wrong with the ice???? [emoji58]

 

[Spirals for Miles]

wow i made it home right before Rika! how did Polina do? and lilbet?

I don't even want to talk about it...
Lil Bet was pretty good except the fall and hand

 

[TheBallerina]

oh lord!! Is there something wrong with the ice???? [emoji58]

I was wondering the same thing...

 

[pearly]

I was watching Bradie's program and thought... did you really need to find three different composers and use all of their RJs together in one program?

 

[Mrs. P]

By the way, bad skate aside, I enjoyed Polina's FS! I hope to see it clean and lovely in the future.

 

[Colonel Green]

wow i made it home right before Rika! how did Polina do? and lilbet?

Best not to think about it.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww nuts, I said that and Silvia has to pause in her program for some unknown reason? Did she miss a combo there or something?

And Lil' Bet and Polina didn't have the best skates I'm afraid.

 

[ancientpeas]

Poor Slovak skater.

 

[rikaquegira]

I was wondering the same thing...

Either that or these ladies are just not prepared... [emoji24]

 

[ancientpeas]

I was watching Bradie's program and thought... did you really need to find three different composers and use all of their RJs together in one program?

It's the law. You have to represent all the Juliets or you are discriminating against someone.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

If Rika lands even 4 triples, she wins, at this point...
