2021 International Classic: Women's Free Skate

OK, I'm not a ladies' fan, but that was lovely. She is so airy and elegant,

And of course even I know enough to be always in awe of the Korean ladies' dress game.

Think anyone will skate to Abba that I hear playing in the arena?

I hate to quiver, but I just wish she wouldn't wear her hair like that....I can't help but think Olive Oyl....dating myself???

Ha ha I I know who Olive Oly is but I can't see it. I love Park's hair piece.

She's so happy!!!

Oh dear...nerves...I'm watching Sasha on behalf of @CrazyKittenLady as well.

Whoever's in charge of the warmup/interlude music at this competition chose some bops

Alexandra Truosva: Cruella soundtrack

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Welp, there goes our five clean quad plan

 

[anonymoose_au]

It's hilarious that Sasha is skating to a song about a lady who is a dog's worst enemy. Sasha would tear her to pieces if Cruella was real

I was about to say imagine if she super YOLO'd and went for 6 quads and got the 5 anyway.

But whoops.

Still love the cantilever

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I really like this program a lot, especially for Alexandra, but she once again shows she has loads of talent but can't always deliver in competition. This is still going to be a huge score, though

 

[anonymoose_au]

Minor quibble the cantilever should have gone on that guitar screech. Come on Danill get with the program!

Question: are these the first double quads ever landed on American soil by a woman?

No, Alysa's landed multiple quads in US Nationals and at Lake Placid JGP

Yup. Said that pre match. Hasn‘t been completely clean lately.

This is the first time I have ever seen Sasha T. "live"

A powerful skater. I am not good with revolutions, so I don't know what her jumps were, but clearly there were many.

But a cantilever? I love it. Can she hold it longer? (I know she can, can she get choreo that does that.) Same with the spiral. She is as powerful as Park was ethereal. She deserves more than jumps to show herself off.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww Sasha is such a cutie

One day, one day.

 

[kmw227]

Oof, rough one for Sasha. I wonder how long she'll keep attempting the 5 quads before she switches it up, especially if performances like this continue.

 

[JOHIO2]

that was...frenetic

Thanks.

And Anna Shcherbakova landed 2 quads at Skate America in 2019.
