2018 Worlds Ladies FS

[ruffledgrouse]

Satoko AND Wakaba on the podium???

I still admire Alina for doing worlds after winning Oly gold. Hate her program though. Hope she has a more well rounded program next season.

Congrtas to Osmond. Sad for Carolina, the gold was in her hands.

Bradie finishes 4th in the FS. Probably a case for her to finish higher... both in the FS and overall...

BUt oh hey how about Loena Hendrickx finishing top 6 in FS and 9th overall? Bet big bros is proud!

She did great. Really a force to be reckoned with.

 

[Warwick360]

So....Korea down to one place.....and now Russia only down to 2? At least Japan had much to gain.

Happy for Kaetlyn
Happy for Japan

Deserved podium

Sad for Italy but Kostner really didn't give us enough Tech
At least she's smiling

Caro is one of the most gracious skaters I have ever seen. Even when she has a rough skate, she handles herself with dignity when you know her heart is breaking.

 

[silverfoxes]

Loena Hendrickx deserved so much better. She should be ahead of Bradie.

Caro may be a quality skater when she is on, but 74.90 PCS for that mess is just outrageous. And Satoko's URs being forgiven while others were called so harshly is disgusting.

I may have to skip the men or my blood pressure will go through the roof!

I think this is what happens when we sit on our hands and expect someone to win just because they will. Hopefully this won't take a toll on Alina like and she'll come back kicking. Also, pay attention RusFed, just because you have those girls it doesn't mean they will deliver forever.

But this kind of result is probably some magic spell from Baba Yaga to put Misha on the podium tomorrow

 

[Mikansei]

they still have 3

LoL I was looking at the freeskate results, silly me

Yes, I'm now Officially a fan.

 

[xeyra]

I never thought Russian ladies would be this close to losing 3 spots. Jesus Christ, ice IS slippery.....

 

[Koatterce]

So....Korea down to one place.....and now Russia only down to 2? At least Japan had much to gain.

Russia still has 3
5+8=13

 

[ancientpeas]

Well that turned out to be quite the "Alright, who's holding the voodoo dolls" event didn't it?

I wonder if I started this with my Canadian Prayer circle in Pairs yesterday. Maybe the William Shatner posters caused this.....

 

[Kiarararara]

Even with URs and 1 fall Satoko is still the one of the most consistent ladies around. And Osmond is getting to that too.

But out of this season no one is really the leading lady. Out of the final 6, Alina is still not as consistent as Evgenia. Maria and Daleman seems to have not developed from that aspect either. Wakaba may get a world medalist confidence (and PCS) boost. Satoko and Osmond kept their ground with consistency. It will be really interesting next season.

 

[GGFan]

I missed the events but just saw the results. Feel bad for Caro but OMG, this podium!! Katelyn!!! Wakaba got her redemption and my tiny queen got a medal!!! :hap93:

 

[MIM]

Satoko AND Wakaba on the podium???

I am one of the dancers in pink.

 

[disco_dannio]

So, what happens now? Kaitlyn is a 2 time world medalist, Olympic medalist, WORLD champion - the first in forever...

Does she come back next year, knowing it will be very difficult to repeat? Or... take advantage of the glory and go out in style?

I would very much miss her quality skating, especially when I know that Eteri-style will be taking over from the real 'skate'-ers...

 

[Warwick360]

Russia still has 3
5+8=13

I thought Alina came 6th. :O

She had a program that was destined to be clean or a disaster. Too many back to back jumps that no doubt affect one another's success.

Here's something fun: A few translations of what the Chinese commentator has said during the final group.

"I won't be able to sleep tonight." (after the podium was confirmed)
"Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming?" (when Alina fell)
"I can't rest. This was so stressful." (after the event)
"I can't believe this." (multiple times through the final group)

Medvedeva thought now: I would have 225 without one leg
