2023-24 Grand Prix Final Senior Women's Free Skate

[CrazyKittenLady]

I really, really, really wanna enjoy Loena but I just can't with these (imo) awful programs. Every season I keep hoping she will do something different, but she never does.

the blonde judge seems amused

This is a very odd remix to be sure.

Should have just stuck with the original Vogue.

Still, I enjoy Loena! And that judge seemed amused

Loena HENDRICKX
Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)

3Lz+3T
2A
3F
2A (lands on inside edge)
CCoSp4
ChSq1 +1.38
2Lz (step out)
3F<+2T+2Lo (holds on)
3S+2T
FCCoSp3 (takes a while to establish donut position)


FS: 130.11 (3rd)
TOT: 203.36 (1st)

The performance may not have been as strong for the first half, but Loena still delivered those jumps. The second half showcased some of the fatigue she is probably dealing with after severe illness following CoC, but she kept on performing. She will likely stay in second thanks to her SP lead, but it won't be the score she had hoped for.

She did not look fit, jumps very laboured and tight today.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Hmm Loena is human and that TES will be interesting.,...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

What on Earth has somebody done to "Vogue"?! They should be jailed for crimes against music!



And a lot of her choreography was cringeworthy.

Sorry Loena, but I don't like either of your programmes this season. They are just not my taste. At all.

But, well done for holding up the honour of Small Feds.

Errr. Last year's short was so fresh and cool, I feel like they tried to replicate that success this year in both programs and for me it just falls completely short. Loena is still great and she fought well, but if this goes above Hana imma be mad è.é

I remember Loena doing a wonderful programme years ago - with Cuban? music? It was innovative and wonderful. Not a fan of her later programmes.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Unlike pretty much everyone else, I have no interest in seeing Hendrixx pick a mellow dirge and swirl slowly to it, but this specific program feels monotone, like it just builds up but doesn't do bang.

Something different than "club" does not automatically mean "mellow dirge". See for example Kaori's Matrix program, which definitely fits neither of those categories, right?

 

[Skating91]

It was really low energy compared to Skate America. I know she says she is not well, but wasn't well for the China stage and seems to always have an ailment when she has a bad skate.

It's definitely not deserving of the sky high PCS like Skate America. It will be close with Hana.

 

[ana]

Not a perfect programme, but it is enough for a medal. Loena deserves a better music.

 

[TT_Fin]

Even judges laugh when skaters are flirting to them. I still don't like it. Not even if skaters I like do it. Well, ugh I am done for this opinion this season.

 

[yelyoh]

Sorry Mark and Ted but that is a terrible program. Very little actual choreo. Arms and hands. But she got the judges to smile so she'll get 8s and 9s.

 

[skatesofgold]

I'm so not a fan of the ending of that program. I don't really get the appeal of Loena's skating in general.

it stops being fresh after the first time around. especially if the music quality is low

 

[lileychristie]

Loena, I actually think that was actually the best she performed this FP
I appreciate Mark's comment that her skating have the power to appeal to wider audience and getting new fans. Like her program or not, the sport needs someone like her.

Couple of small mistakes toward the end, but I think still enough for silver. I hope this means she will peak for Europeans as she hopes

I really, really, really wanna enjoy Loena but I just can't with these (imo) awful programs. Every season I keep hoping she will do something different, but she never does.

I liked her programs last season much better than this year.

Honestly, I would give it to Pinzaronne too....

 

[anonymoose_au]

Actually the wanting to do a different style of program reminds me of Ivett Toth, remember when she skated to AC/DC? That was the coolest thing ever!

I wonder what Ivett's up to these days.

Anyway hope Loena can get some rest for her injury and come back fighting for Euros!
