2022 JGP Baltic Cup Women's Free Skate

Absolutely loved that programme from Zhasmin!!!

And it is so timely, with Hallowe'en coming up in a few weeks.

Pity that there was so much red in the traffic lights. But, I suppose that was appropriate given the theme of the programme.

I said it yesterday, and I'll say it again today - I like this girl!

This is a very pretty pink/purple dress. It started out so well, and then it started to crumble a bit after the fall on the 3T

The cartwheel exit to the Layback spin was really cool. Shame about the lack of Triple jump success, I'm sure she's usually able to do them in training.

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with... SuperSimone!!!

Babeth. I love her pastel colored dress. Great cartwheel and spins. She has so much potential.

There were actually some improvements from her Free Skate at JGP Courchevel in this skate. I still prefer her Short choreographically, but this dress is certainly much better, it's very pretty.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I realise that this is probably a symptom of the music, but that was a bit frantic from Babeth. Particularly towards the end.

Nevertheless, it was a good skate.

Oh, Sabina. Lots of mistakes. And finished WAAAAAYYYY after her music finished.

She had fellow competitor Sophie Joline von FELTEN with her when she was getting her results yesterday. And I think she needs her here again today for a big hug.

YES!!!! She's there!!!

Into 5th.

Chiara. Pretty dress. Our first 3 lutz3T. She started strong. She has all the triples, she is one to watch.

Chiara has so much raw talent and her jumps are huge, but she has the very unfortunate habit of falling apart in the second half of the program. Maybe she doesn't have the stamina for this jump layout yet, or maybe it's a mental issue, but either way, it's sad to see such a talented skater not fulfill their potential.

"In your head
In your head
Zombie
Zombie
Zombie..."



Yes, I was singing along even though it was an instrumental!

YESSS!!!! Delores appeared in the second half!!!

Unfortunately, the lyrics were appropriate. Chiara made a mistake, and it got into her head, and she kept making more mistakes.

I have liked Chiara for a few years. So, I am sure that she will do better next time.

I like Chiara Hristova and her program. She started out strong. Shame about the mistakes in the second half.

Anna. Pretty dress. Rough skate, but she has her triples.

This dress and Nika Zhilina's new SP dress resemble each other quite a lot, interesting. A difficult skate, but she certainly didn't stop fighting for the triple jumps.
