THE SIZE OF THAT 2A-3T [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

This is my favourite program of all the ladies, I don't even care if there's no transitions. The armography is totally on point.

Yass Liza, no matter of placement she still wins this season!!!

 

[Danny T]

Liza's bringing it yassss

 

[moriel]

Looks like Liza is in GPF

I don't love her programs, but she goes out there and owns it and I can't help but respect that. I am all for a great comeback

I said this about her seeing her live at SCI. Honestly if you only had her do 3Z-3T, 2A-3T and 3A. and nothing else I would give her all the points. Her jumps are worth the price of admission. (And she does seem to love the program).

 

[LaArdilla]

Come on you guys, did she land the 3A? I can’t watch it right now!

 

[Hyena]

Yes, Liza! Yes!

She looked nervous when she took the ice but once she nailed her lutz-toe, she was zoned in. She. Is. A. Fighter.

Not just the arms. The FACE. She lives this programme. We think alike.

I could watch Liza's lutz all day! Wonderful spring to her jumps. There's not much program there (it's a Mishin edit) but she's excellent at doing poses and connecting with the crowd.

A turnout, but strong skate with 7 triples. Should be enough for a medal

FS: 76.21+66.64 = 142.85 (SB), 219.02 (SB), 2/11

Yeeeah! The Empress...er...empired

Love all the Russian flags and hey Mishin!

With a turnout, rest clean and pure quality

I have no words!!! Beauty!!!

Yasss Liza in GPF.

 

[WeakAnkles]

I just got to hand it to Ms T. There is almost no choreography in that program...and she makes it work. She shamelessly--shamelessly!--eggs on the audience not once but three times to get into her program...and makes it work.

You gotta hand it to her. She'a a pro.

 

[frida80]

Yes! Queen Liza!

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva

Wow, just utter silence during the ice cleanup.

- Turn-out on the 3A (-1)
- Gorgeous 3Lz+3T (+4)
- Another fantastic 3Lz (+3)
- Good centering on the layback spin (+2)
- Patient edging and suitably slower footwork, lots of control (+3)
- High 2A+3T (+3)
- Great 3Lo as well (+2)
- Good landing on the 3S too (+2)
- Nice cantilever spread eagle in choreo, great energy (+4)
- A bit stuck on 2A+2T+2Lo but fine (+1)
- Good energy and speed through the flying sit spin (+2)
- Good catchfoot and nice scratch spin before change of foot into ending crossfoot spin (+3)

Ooo, this is going to be a close one as to who should win. I think Rika might get the nod with 11-point buffer in TES. We'll have to see what the judges do with PCS, but I think Liza might be narrowly in second after this. That said, another great performance from Liza today. She is definitely going to the GPF with wonderful momentum. You can really feel her confidence and attack through the fast-slow-fast program.

Liza T seemed to be more concentrated on her jumps today, but still a sassy performance. Probably bronze unless Miyahara Satoko messes up, I think.

And god I need to get my s(bleep) together
