2018 Worlds Ladies FS

[disco_dannio]

Seriously, Sotskova's not my cup of tea, but her skating's not bad. Boring, yes, but skating skills, not too shabby. She's just so tall she looks slower than she is.

You think TENNEL is above her?! Tennel is GIFTED with the PCS she gets, seriously.

Aw.. Maria has tears in her eyes while she waits in the kiss and cry.

*Maria accepts her score, sighs, removes her skates, and lines up at the Russian pogey office that was opened specifically for ladies figure skaters*

 

[xeyra]

Okay, she got called at least on two.

 

[gioccia]

Bradie had more visible urs..

 

[Sackie]

Well glad to see the hate has changed from Kaetlyn to someone else now.

 

[Alchamei]

Go Gabby!

Polish her up and make her the complete package the way he did with Hanyu and Fernandez.

Javi had much to be improved on. His 3A reliability, his consistency, and his style. But with Higucchi, I think, her problem is more of a Gracie problem. Needs a better sports psychologist.

Thank you skating gods, at least she's below Waka. Phew.

Anyone know why Ashley Wagner declined her invitation? I would've liked to have seen her La La Land program here, moreso because of my love for LLL than Ashley herself.

Ashley kept training, up to and including while in PC, while it was still possible for her to be called on to substitute at the Olympics.

Shortly after nationals, she'd informed Mariah Bell that if called on for Worlds, she would decline, so Mariah would have plenty of notice to prepare and train. Ashley needed the time to heal her heart, she said; (I say her psyche too) after nationals.

Ashley's earned this time out for herself. She did what was best for her country. She wasn't going to say yes to Worlds what, 1 or 2 weeks before the event, when she knew she wasn't prepared. She has my respect.

But I wanted more La La Land too. I'd like to have seen what more she'd do with it. If you haven't seen the Russian Pair's FS, Astakhova/Rogonov, I recommend a viewing. They did a lovely program to it yesterday, including my favorite tune from LLL, City of stars.

Because that would involve training

That's just mean.

Maria, please, don't cry...

TES assassin Shin Amano strikes again. :shocked:

 

[schizoanalyst]

Well you just said you’ve never watched her FS programs in their entirety. Might have something to do with it

Hence why I asked. I've seen her short, I don't remember her jumps looking this bad early in the season.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I feel bad for Maria.

 

[slider11]

Microscope out again.

 

[Mikansei]

WOW that TES, The panel must have called a lot of UR

 

[nolangoh]

Thats gonna be painful, but I hope she decides to drop the arm stuff from now on

 

[jillredhand]

Rubbish programme

Hey buddy, hey friend, hey pal.

Try keeping your foot outside of your mouth. Be nice.

 

[xeyra]

Come on Gabby!
