2018 Nepela Trophy Ladies Short Program

[frida80]

Everything clean but the 3A. She'll get there.

 

[Azikin]

GO POLINA!!!

 

[Ziotic]

The 3A was huge, too bad about the lean.

Otherwise solid and beautiful! I love Rika.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Other than the fall at the beginning, that was a really nice skate by Rika! She's very well-rounded, and this is a lovely program, which she performs well. I am never a fan of white dresses for skating though, and this one looks especially strange since it's whiter than the ice (at least on my screen)...??

 

[rikaquegira]

Typical Rika!! LMAO



Still love her anyway! :luv17:

 

[leoleo]

uikes! she landed 3A after 3A during warmup but couldn't land one here

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Sorry, no way should that have gone ahead of Lil Bet.

 

[xeyra]

Even with the fall she scores 70!

 

[Ichatdelune]

She seems happy

Rika is first place, it was nice seeing her so happy. Go girl, fight through it.

 

[waterfall braid]

Go polina!!!

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Do they really need to have the time ticking during the performance?

I like Rika a lot but that’s a big score Imo for that performance???? No?

 

[xeyra]

Polina's combo looked a bit rough on the 3T to me. But man, that delayed 3Lz.... :luv17:

 

[Spirals for Miles]

How did Polina do?

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Big old UR’s on both jumps for Polina’s combo.....maybe even a downgrade on the 3t even :eeking:

 

[Ziotic]

Sorry, no way should that have gone ahead of Lil Bet.

Unfortunately. You are incorrect. Her skating skills and speed are far superior. Her jumps also deserve much higher GOE.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Hands down on the 3F, but big, lovely jumps and a nice program. But please, ditch the gloves, if not the whole costume...

 

[lavenderblossom]

Mistake out 3F and not sure Polina's combo was rotated but I really like this program for her. She looks happy skating it too.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

I have really liked Polina's SPs in past, but this one doesn't do it for me. She is projecting more than in past, which is good, but the program somehow didn't draw me in. It was rough around the edges, which I'm sure will improve as the season progresses. Pink is a lovely colour on Polina.
