2021 Skate Canada: Women's Free Skate

[Makkachin]

The elements themselves are so fantastic I can almost ignore the numerous sins in this program but not quite...it just feels like she's off the beat the entire time, one of the reasons why Bolero is difficult to skate to and why I like Shoma's version a lot better than most but surely something can be done to make it not SO egregious that none of the choreo is matching what the music is doing?

Hell's Bells! Valieva's TES is better than all the Men's FS, except for Nathan.

Well, her FS is also better, so fair is fair

Kind of convinced Bolero should've been forcefully retired from skating after...Torvill and Dean, if I'm honest.

sholero is awesome though...

 

[EdgeCall]

Kamila is a machine.

She is an outstanding human being.

265??? OMG.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Also overjoyed for Liza, Mai and Haein!

 

[readernick]

sholero is awesome though...

It is. But, that's because it isn't really Bolero in the traditional sense

 

[Thrashergurl]

Why does it seem like this is Kamila’s second year as a senior? That said, it’s going to be a very boring skating season. There’s your Olympic champion. She’s good, yes. But the program and packaging don’t do her any favors.

I just don't like Bolero very much...

 

[msteach3]

Kamila outscoring the men!

 

[lady_bee]

Kamila beated Jason

 

[anonymoose_au]

I'm thinking of a cunning plan, I'll watch the SBS stream and stream the audio from somewhere else. Because all this Eteri-Crystal-Sambo-70 gushing is gonna get old...FAST.

Russia's #KamilaValieva topped both her PBs from Finlandia! (180.89 / 265.08)

sholero is awesome though...

Agreed. Start a campaign for Kami to be choreod by Stephane. I think she could handle a very difficult program like Sholero and still land her quads, and it would make her wins even more convincing.

It's uncanny that ALL winners of Skate Canada casually social distanced themselves with the other medalists with their scores.

Another fantastic women's competition, we've been spoiled so far!

A really fun weekend too, and Italy next! See you then everyone, have a great week!

Starting a campaign for the girls to be choreo'd by anyone else tbh

 

[Mista Ekko]

I think not even a 5 Quad Trusova can get a score like that

That's right up there with Nathan Chen's FS Score here, If you adjust the PCS

Until Anna and Daria are also on the same ice.

 

[prorussian fan]

I love the Bolero program! Kami is simply exceptional, I am very excited! It is a privilege to be a fan of figure skating these days. What Kamila just did is historical!
