2021 Warsaw Cup: Women's Free Skate

[norwegianfairytale]

Good score though!

Yay for Lindsay! She was a bit robbed in terms of her SP score. But, this was a good skate. I wonder if it will be enough to squeak into the podium. I’m rooting for Kurakova and it is fun watching Daleman warm up next to the ice rink.

Go Katya!

That was a short interval. I thought I would be able to get 2 of the skaters I missed earlier watched, but the skaters came onto the ice halfway through the second programme. I don't like interrupting programmes, so I paused the live stuff and continued on watching Natalia LERKA until she was finished skating.

Consequently, I am now about a minute behind.

My comments are late at the best of times because it takes me a while to type them, but they are going to be even later now!

I really hope Katia considers changing choreographers after this season, Benoit's choreography doesn't bring out the best in her.

Kurakova with higher TES than Thorngren. Hilarious. Be interesting to see if that drops due to UR and edge calls.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

She's been around a few years now, but she is still as adorable as ever.

I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. Even when she made her mistakes.

I really hope she can climb some places.

Into the lead, both in the FS and overall, by about 3 points.

WELL DONE EKATERINA!!!

Gabby looked slower to me today. But an OK skate for her. She went for it at least.

 

[TT_Fin]

Gabby seems to be pleased.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Nicole is skating really well. Never seen her so confident and stable as now! Looks like a clean skate!

Yep!

And Kristina is skating really well too.

You know, if they keep skating like this, Nathalie could well miss out on the slots.

What a fall :O

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Putting this up now because I am behind and want to make sure it is up before she starts.

Time for my final child of the competition.

And I am so nervous for her!

ALL THE BEST JENNI!!!

[TT_Fin]

Not again, this happens so often to Jenni...

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Oh Jenni.. the worst is I expected this!

Good news is Kurakova got a bronze at least!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I was holding back tears with the nerves before Jenni skated. And I was in tears with sadness after she skated.

The pressure got to her. And who would blame her? She hasn't won a competition outside of Scandanavia for nearly 8 years (Junior Ladies at the 2014 Bavarian Open). So, being so close to the leader after the SP would have put a lot of pressure on her.

15th in the FS, and 8th overall.



But, in that performance in the SP, she has shown that she is well on form and she can be a contender for medals. She just has to work on coping with the pressure.

Hasn't the RUS girl done too many combos?

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Oh no I thought Maiias quad was only getting stable now And whole of her program was shaky. What is going on with the Russian Girls this season? I hope she is not injured and still skating!
