2022 NHK Trophy Women's Free Skate

[EdgeCall]

I'm currently translating some poster text from English to French, so may not comment much, but I am here to watch and cheer.

We are here to watch and cheer - Nice slogan for the GS competition threads!

I'm muting

You live!

Hope you're feeling better! Stomach issues are the worst!

I'm doing much better, thanks! Thankfully I have a work issued laptop and can work remotely, so I didn't need to use a sick day.

Side benefit, as I felt better during the day, I got my chores done, and now the weekend is free!

Spin lv 1?

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Wow, that was a really good skate for Eva-Lotta! I can't remember the last time she skated so cleanly!

and just as I posted that she got a level 1 spin

 

[EdgeCall]

Still a struggle. One day, Eva-Lotta, one day.

As someone who has been dealing with vertigo for nearly 35 years, Kiibus's spins really resonate with me.

 

[CellarDweller]

Nice job for Eva, although not a fan of this music.

 

[purplecat]

Good start to the comp! Good job Eva-Lotta!

What was wrong with the spin? I missed it because Mister got my attention.

 

[Jeanie19]

Eva. Pretty blue dress. I love this program and she skated really well.

 

[Lynse]

Good skate and mostly clean for Eva-Lotta, So happy for her.

On the Finlandia Trophy last year.
But yeah, except ugly spins, this was great progress!

How can you bake a fry?

In the oven...I'll grab my hat

 

[Ichatdelune]

For a well-known cactus she did pretty well there!

 

[lileychristie]

Eva-Lotta almost clean!!
Great start for the women's free, hope that means we're on for a great night (or a great day).

Just past 3 PM here in Australia, yet I had to take a nap after pairs finished and made myself a double shot coffee just now. Not sure why I tend to feel so sleepy in the afternoon like this

Maybe I should go to bed. I really am having a strong negative reaction to Eva's program. It does not work for her at all IMHO. She's lovely but this is a powerful piece (it's even for the "it's not your fault dialogue" that's a heavy scene) and to me it just seems like she could be skating to anything. She doesn't have the gravitas for this story.

same for me -- and those are my favs

I’m just watching when I get up.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oh god I'm so stressed for Amber

 

[anonymoose_au]

I love Amber's dress a lot! I sure hope she has a great skate!
