2022 JGP Baltic Cup Women's Free Skate

[yume]

Superb last spin.
Energetic program well performed. Give her the PCS!

 

[Vemvane]

Josephine delivers another very creditable Carmina Burana free skate, with her fierce performance of her choreo sequence at the end. She does a good job with the music throughout. Love her dress too.

 

[Dreamer57]

Josephine had a great skate!

Now, I am ready for Tree of Life

 

[ptvvibezz]

Low PCS for a skater like Josephine, glad she's taking it well though

 

[yume]

Jia has a good distance and height on jumps. Surprising for her tiny frame.
Superb performance despite the pop.

Well done Jia

Pop, but made up for it (in my eyes, not in terms of points) with a beautiful Ina Bauer and spiral.

Jia. Beautiful blue dress. My favorite dress of the competition. She is a fast skater, great height on the jumps, beautiful spins.

I think Jia's growing into her jumps, she's getting stronger and they're getting bigger and easier. Definitely way more solid-looking than at JWorlds and even Riga.

 

[yume]

The Korean girls with the biggest 3lzes are always the ones with shallow edges.

 

[Vemvane]

What an Ina Bauer from Jia! That was beautiful! A moment of gooseflesh. Her jumps go flying across the ice, they're so long. Loved her flying camel spin as well. She is marvellous - her transitions in and out of her jumps, like the way she twizzles out of her 2A. And a season's best in the free for her as well! What an evening of skating we are having here.

Minsol! Come on little cat, you can do it. Skate yourself right onto the podium!

 

[yume]

Unpopular opinion: I'm not ok with Jia getting 61 pcs while Josephine got 53.

 

[Carol1]

This synthesizer music from Cats is amazing! I immediately recognize the Casio SK1, the same product I gave to my grandson in 1986.

 

[yume]

That 3F-3T was majestic.
What an interesting program.

Minsol is just so cute and expressive, I can forgive her her weaker spins and less extension. I could watch her all day long.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Ahh, my heart. All the PCS, I demand all the PCS for her!

 

[TT_Fin]

As a movie the cats was boring, but Minsol made it work. Much more fun to watch than the movie.

 

[Vemvane]

GIVE MINSOL ALL THE POINTS FOR PERFORMANCE! She is so entertaining and has a huge amount of fun with this skate. She's so so good at inhabiting the character. Lovely jumps and level 4 spins as well. This is possibly my favourite free skate of the season, because Minsol performs it brilliantly.

As a movie the cats was boring, but Minsol made it work. Much more fun to watch than the movie.

My last root canal was more fun to watch than that atrocious film.

I hope Ami can end this competition on a high note!
