2019 Cup of Tyrol

Right, as soon as I arrived home, I wound back to watch Giorgia. And then I wrote this LONG message.

When she fell twice not long into the programme, I was worried that it was going to turn out like yesterday and it was going to dent her confidence. But, thankfully it didn't. I think the difference today is that in both cases she was so close to staying upright. The second fall was a bit of a weird one. She managed the first part of the combo no problem, but just after she finished the second part, one foot hit the other and that was what actually sent her down, rather than the element itself.

She managed alright through the rest of the programme. There was one moment where she hesitated as she thought she was too close to the boards (the irony to this, of course, is that she trains on a rink that is less than a quarter of the size of what she was on today!). But, she needn't have worried, there was just enough space.

Giorgia didn't seem as annoyed after the routine as she did yesterday, and I can understand why. Even with the 2 falls, on the whole it went a lot better than the SP.

On each occasion I've seen Giorgia competing this season, the FS has always gone better than the SP. It could just be nerves at the start of a competition, but there does seem to be something about the FS that works better for her.

So, if her and Petra can work out what it is about the FS that agrees with her, and do something similar for the SP next season, it could be a very fruitful exercise. :agree:

THANK YOU CaroLiza_Fan :thank:

If you're a supporter of Team GBR, keep your fingers crossed at 5.30pm UK time this evening for Natasha McKay, who will be trying a new big element before Worlds. Good Luck Tash!! :pray:

:hap10:

Don't you worry, I am fully intending to watch the Seniors. There are a few skaters in particular that I want to see. Natasha is one of them, and another is a girl that I have been a fan of since I saw her at Novice level a few years ago - Elisabetta Leccardi. But it won't be today. Because I'll be breaking away for my tea, and then I've got other plans after that.

So, what I'm going to do instead until tea time is catch up on some of what I missed while eating yesterday - the last 3 in the Junior Men's SP, and the first 3 of the Junior Ladies SP.

And then tomorrow morning I hope to watch the final 2 groups, as I really want to see another skater that I have kept an eye on since I saw her at the Lombardia a few years ago - Alessia Tornaghi. And then onto today's action.

One fall for everyone so far. Shades of 2018 Euro Men SP :slink:
 
natasha is such a beautiful skater but with a fall and a pop her score won't look nice at all, and it's a shame :(
 
I've just arrived here and the list of skaters isn't working for me. Can anyone tell me if Larkyn Austman has skated yet?

I think the 3Lz was rotated, but she landed leaning too far back to save it. :ohwell:

No, she's last to go in this group. 2 more skaters before Larkyn.
