2018 Olympic Figure Skating Ladies FS

[Ophelia]

It's bizarre to me how she gets so much height but still has rotational issues.

Shoddy technique?

 

[CellarDweller]

She's got to learn how to rotate faster

 

[GGFan]

Oh Karen, this isn't what I wanted for you. I hope you've savored your time on Olympic ice at least. Gorgeous spiral and spins!

 

[fleeting]

Oh gosh, Karen

Those jumps just weren't here today.... And she was behind the music, noticeable on the ending pose :/

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

I think 198. could put Maria in contention for bronze depending what the others do.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Apart from the fall, I liked Karen.

 

[Metis]

She choreographed that herself, guys!

And it shows!

 

[EdgeCall]

Tech problems again.
I hope they will give her decent PCS, it actually looked very nice and she pulled herself together.

 

[SpiffySpiders]

Poor Karen. Kurt did mention he respects her 2axel technique.

 

[TerpsichoreFS]

The problem is that she looks done with the program.

Ah, weird spiral

 

[OS]

Well it could have gone alot worse... consider the boots trouble.

 

[kimi492]

Its not a popular opinion on here but I think it’s awesome Karen choreographs her own programs

 

[twirlingblades]

It's bizarre to me how she gets so much height but still has rotational issues.

That's what I'm saying... like... even with a slight delay she shouldn't have these issues.

 

[anonymoose_au]

She choreographed that herself, guys!

That's really cool!

Huh what would happen if right at the end there with the Beillmann the sole of her skate came right off? Would that count as a deduction? Fortunately, the held together!

 

[Leelee425]

Oh no Karen, it started out so beautiful then kind of got away from her. And all the yellow boxes...

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Karen needs to rework her jumping technic. She delayed her rotation too much

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Oh dear - Rough skate by Karen! I was hoping that she'd nail it tonight, but it was not to be. She has lovely spins and spirals, among other positive aspects of her skating. If she could get her jumps consistent, she'd be the full package.

 

[chopinskate]

I think those were boot problems for real.

 

[Shayuki]

Well, Karen is skating as I expected Karen to skate Not sure why the USFSA likes her so much and gave her such high PCS at nationals. But, whatever, she has a nice musciality which I appreciate and good skating skills.

Great spins also. And the jumps have good tech but she... doesn't rotate them. And didn't 3T here I guess.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

We're a mess this year. I hope things start looking up for US ladies soon...
