2018 Olympic Figure Skating Ladies FS

[MIM]

YES! She is a little fire cracker! Many mistakes but she fights to the end! I liker how feisty she is!!

 

[Metis]

just my personal opinion.....I always roll my eyes whenever I hear a commentator talk about "telegraphing" a jump. Aren't all jumps telegraphed to some degree? I mean, I don't ever remember seeing a program and thinking "Oh, a jump just happened, what a surprise!"

It's pretty evident for all skaters (IMO) when a jump is about to be attempted.

Hanyu has caught commentators by surprise, and there’s always this.

 

[CellarDweller]

and the gold medal for most awkwardly ended program goes to.......

 

[WeakAnkles]

Yvette shooting herself in the head to end.

Oh honey, you're not the only one who feels that way.

 

[amateur]

I was not enjoying that program from Toth at all, until that unexpected very final (shooting her head?) motion, when I laughed out loud

 

[cheerknithanson]

Oy vey....those lyrics. I don't mean to sound mean, but how did that go through the question on if it would be too jarring or not?

 

[rollerblade]

Is it possible to change the quality of the goodgame stream? I need to lower it so it stops stuttering, as I fear it's gonna get worse as we get into later groups.

 

[Ylyzybyth]

It's always a stressful day when I got to bust out an emergency quad.
SIGH

 

[fleeting]

Ivett isn't mature enough of a skater to be a convincing Carmen. I love Carmen and always will, but that wasn't a good fit for her.
I think her way forward is being unique - because when she's on, she's on!

That finger gun at the end though

 

[chopinskate]

She seems cool.

 

[OS]

What a pity!! Seems she is still recovering from the ACDC Party hangover from 2 nights ago.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

THREE deductions??

 

[Button's Niece]

Did I miss the almost-fancy-stats link?

 

[SpiffySpiders]

Gotta say, I wasn't expecting the weird little head roll and shot at the end.

I like this girl. She's unique, even when skating to a warhorse.

 

[lavenderblossom]

That score, yikes.

Ivett Toth

Oh look, it's another Carmen! A bit tilted on the 3Lz landing with a 2T (could be <). Alright 3F with not a lot of speed. Fall on the 3Lo, just tilted through the air. Alright combo spin (Level 4). Not a lot of speed going into the 3Lz (fully downgraded <<), another fall. Spirals could be a bit more extended. Better 3T+1Lo+3S (but 3S called <). Okay 3S+2A sequence. Satisfactory flying spin. Very slow in the 2A. She tends to hunch down a lot in the footwork (Level 3). Layback spin was actually quite good with the Biellmann spin (Level 4).

Did she shoot herself at the end? Err, umm.... Anyway, this version of Carmen was a bit off and not that well portrayed. She's capable, but she may not be mature enough to get this character off, as opposed to her AC/DC short which I think was better for her. She needs a lot more speed altogether to get more rotation and height in her jumps.

 

[kimi492]

This is unrelated - but would Eunsoo or You Young be invited to the gala? Like how Eunsoo skated at 4cc last year

 

[Shayuki]

Wow, Toth will likely finish last. That's got to be such a disappointment for her.

Well, at least she made it to the free skate.

 

[EdgeCall]

Last place. I hope she doesn't get discouraged.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Same reason as Mao I would assume.

Yeah, Yuna’s Birthday is in September. I believe you need to turn 16 before July 1st of that year to be Olympic eligible?
