2023 Abu Dhabi Classic Figure Skating Trophy

[Jeanie19]

Hannah. Pretty black dress. Two falls right off the bat, but she regrouped and finished strong, into 2nd place, that a medal.

While Liza waits for her scores, here is a wee quick video of her and Katya playing some Verdi when they were 4 and 3 years old:

Tell me something, does anybody else start singing about this bloke when they hear that music:

Or is this just something peculiar to my Dad?

Elizabet. Beautiful dress. Good skate, really good spins. She's on my radar now.

"Papa Can You Hear Me"

Liza was good. It was a pity about the falls.

But, I still stand by what I thought the last time I saw the sisters. In terms of their programmes this season, in both cases I prefer Katya's.

Liza drops to 4th in the FS and 3rd overall.

Oh my goodness. That means Stefania's won!!!



I really was not expecting that.

WELL DONE STEFANIA!!!

Oh, I hope they show the Podium Ceremony on the stream.

And I hope they do it before the Formula 1 starts!

Well, we just had a dramatic conclusion to the Junior Ladies. So, what do we follow it with? The chaos category!



It's maybe just as well that there is just one of them!

And now. The end is here. And so we face. The final curtain.

It'll hardly be as dramatic as their Junior counterparts, but there is potential for excitement with the Seniors. A group of 5 girls, with 2 Kazakhs at the start; then Dubinina (Serbia); then 2 Austrians at the end.

Zlata. I really like her outfit and this program. Good skate.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

No changes between the Kazakhs.

Now to see if Dubinina can overcome the surprise package from the SP, Jasmin ELSEBAIE (AUT).

CaroLiza_fan

 

[Jeanie19]

Dubinina. Really pretty dress and a pretty skate.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Dubinina. Really pretty dress and a pretty skate.

There were a few issues, though. Such as the hands down early on.

It'll be interesting to see how Jasmin gets on now. Will the pressure of being in this situation get to her?

And she's skating to iconic music!

Antonina's experience may come into play.

CaroLiza_fan

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Well, that was a great job from Jasmin!

It was like she was an old pro that was used to being in this situation. Even though this is as far from what she is used to as you can get.

I think we're going to have an Austrian 1-2!

After what Jasmin did in both the SP and FS, she deserves the Silver Medal!

YES!!!! She takes the lead in both FS and overall. So, she is guaranteed at least 2nd position!!!

(Don't worry, I realise nobody is going to catch Stefanie).

WELL DONE JASMIN!!!

[Jeanie19]

Jasmin. Pretty black with a splash of red dress. I like this program for her, a few mistakes but still a good skate.

 

[Jeanie19]

Stefanie. Pretty dress and a really good skate.

Hang on, I see skaters on the ice. Is there another Entries / Results page out there that I don't know about that has more competitions?

CaroLiza_fan

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Aha! Are the Russian skaters that were in the Opening Ceremony doing a warm-up before appearing again in the Closing Ceremony?

Yes, that's what's happening.

Here is the link for the archived livestream (starts at 10h 39m 12s):

The rinkside announcer is getting angry that they did not get off the ice when she told them to!

CaroLiza_fan

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Still didn't make out Sofia's surname when she was introduced. But she was absolutely brilliant again!!!

If she had been in the competition, she would have walked it.

Now for the Ice Dancers - Elizaveta Pasechnik / Maxim Nekrasov

CaroLiza_fan

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Yes, it is indeed a "Mad World".

This wasn't the Free Dance they did at Nationals. Is it a new one for next season, or an old one that has been brought back, I wonder?

Now for the girl I thought looked like Nugumanova. (Didn't catch her name this time either).

CaroLiza_fan

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Another absolutely brilliant performance!

Now I wish she and Sofia had been scored, because I would be curious to know which of them would have come out on top.

I certainly couldn't call it!

CaroLiza_fan

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Oooh, the lights have been brought down.

It's now pitch black.

Somebody is skating under the spotlights. Didn't catch the name. (I know who I thought she said, but she's in Łódź! )

EDIT: It was the girl I was looking into the background of earlier, Elisa Maria WESTERHOF (UAE), who finished 10th in Advanced Novices.​
