2021 Nebelhorn Trophy: Women's Short Program

[norwegianfairytale]

Rippon triple flip was not a good idea, next time rather play it safe.

And my younger daughter goes into the lead.

Now, my older daughter.

Here for Tzu-Han Ting, Taiwan's first home-grown Woman's singles skater!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Ahww that was such a interesting program!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Oh, Alex.

When I saw you were using "Rise Like A Phoenix", I thought "Oh, no. She is draw unfavourable comparisons to Anna Pogo's iconic EX".

OK, so using a cover was probably a good tactic to try to avoid that. But, that cover is awful!

I can understand why she chose that song, though. Given that she had all but retired a few years ago, and then came back to skating when she moved to England for University.

Pity about the fall at the start. But, the rest of it wasn't bad.

She looked angry with herself coming off the ice.



10th position with 19 to go. But, less than a point behind Weinzierl. And less than 10 points behind the current leader, Zingas.

My external speaker gave up, I guess it wasn’t in love with this cover

[EdgeCall]

What is it with Latvia? Such a small country with such a big amount of talents. The music choice is probably not optimal for Anete, though.

 

[PaulE]

Well done Anete! She upped her personal best by more than 6 points.

Fell on 3Lz, but good performance shown at points, nice spins, big 2A very late in the program... Can use more work, but hope she gets the minimums to get to Worlds! Have a nice career, little girl.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Tzu-Han is far too cute to make a convincing

Impressive skate for one so young.

Yes she looks more 11 than 15
But we all know China and surrounding countries were never age cheaters so we are totally OK with it

And speaking of skaters who look younger than they are...

I haven't checked, but I think Sinem is the second oldest skater in this competition. (She is 6 months younger than Weinzierl).

I have always liked Sinem Kuyucu (as she was known before she got married). So, I am really enjoying seing her skating better than ever at an age when a lot of Ladies skaters are either thinking of retiring, or already have.

Really enjoyed that programme.

Into 14th position.

So nice seeing female skater representation from Taiwan!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

I´m really excited to see Josefin Taljegård in the upcoming groups, she has a new SP which i´m looking forward to see and she needs to skate her heart out, because she needs almost 200 points so that she meets the requirements of Swedish OGC All though, I think she has worked on her technical content this summer, so if she nails it it´s not completely impossible.

Maybe it will help her a little that she is skating in a late group so her PCS will be a bit higher

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Nice to see Isadora Williams back after she had to WD in the middle of the SP last time. I hope she is fully recovered!
