2018 NHK Ladies Free Skate

[Mrs. P]

Messy jumps, ouch. And no, SITH is my favorite short program ever done by the Queen, I will always miss her and cry when a skater skates to it.

Yuna is seriously like the only person who skated to that song and I did not want the song banned.

I will cry just remembering Yuna’s SITC... I’m generally fine with skaters reusing pieces from iconic skates but I think SITC needs a rest or a VERY fresh perspective to work.

I just woke up to watch this and this is the second consecutive day waking up 5am and I’m barely functional.
The things we do for love... [emoji23]

I’ll be rooting for Rika and Eunsoo!
I hope everyone have a good program they can be proud of! [emoji120]

Liiiiizaaa!!! And of course Best of luck to Alena!!!!

 

[hippomoomin]

Angela's jumps need more height. She is not going anywhere with those jumps.
Maria made GPF in the previous two seasons, and even silver last year ahead of Osmond. The consistent Maria is gone

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh wow Rika's got two 3As planned, can she do it?!

Alena hey! Looking good.

 

[jillredhand]

I need some Ted commentary.

Your wish is my command

 

[Hyena]

Huge scream from the audience a moment ago - the camera was on Alena but I assume someone almost collided with someone else. Everyone's still skating though.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Huh?????? Darling's changed back to het original layout

 

[Skater Boy]

Mariah could medal here. This could be big. Leonova almost certainly will crash out of the top seed. Bell is capable of beating Lim and Rika is prone to disaster so a bronze or silver is not impossible. Miyahara has this; she just needs to be herself. Though I am cheering for Liza!

 

[draqq]

Nice, Mariah got 8s in Performance and Interpretation.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

This song is really beautiful.
Stephen Sondheim is a genius.

Totally agree. I love the song anyway, but this is just THE most beautiful version.

This piece of music should be banned. I'm forever traumatized by it already

Agree. Also clowns are SCARY. And these lyrics are just asking for trouble.

I hate clowns. They should be banned too. As well as any mention of them

I always loved clowns. They are funny and bubbly characters. I have never been able to fathom why people would be scared by them.

But, everybody's different.

It's the war of the triple axel in the land that invented the ladies triple axel. I just want Midori in the audience to witness it in person.
