2023 Grand Prix of Espoo Women's Free Skate

[Ares]

Chaeyon's spins were stellar, some jumps were not good though today. But somehow I did enjoy this performance more than the last time I saw Chaeyon's FS. I think she was more in tune with music here. Her lines are really good for a 16-years old girl.

I don't know how it happened but Amber just won a medal?!

I know... I've watched a lot of falls and pops and stumbling from the other skaters...

Now all luck to Rion!!!

Gorgeous costume for Chaeyeon. Interesting. Her mom makes her costumes! Perhaps her inexperience is showing. Beautiful skater though! She's so young. Look forward to seeing her develop.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Keep it together!

 

[NoNameFace]

Wow, that was NOT EXPECTED...Amber gets a crown then (at least one, if the other crew who crowned Men's medalists has also full set for all ladies, I'm definitely giving her mine intended for Ladies' medalists no matter what) and GOOD FOR HER. She put really good skate today despite Axel pop.

Rion I love Amber too but you don’t have to give her your placement too!

 

[labgoat]

Who saddled this young girl with this dirge of music.

 

[CellarDweller]

Rion is not doing well.

 

[EdgeCall]

I give up. Rinky rules the day. Help us, Kaori Sakamoto, you are our only hope!

 

[labgoat]

Go Rion!

 

[jgg220]

Excuse me while I go find my VHS tape of Sophie's Choice and a bottle of brandy to cheer me up after watching this group.

Kaori, save us all!!!!

 

[CellarDweller]

Ok, it looks like she's recovered for the second half of the program.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I love this program and Rion but I think the GPF pressure is getting to her today

 

[elektra blue]

as i said, gender equality

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

What a fight from Rion! She has the most impressive lines.

Who saddled this young girl with this dirge of music.

I think this is a lot better than a lot of music skaters are given... or choose... at least it has real energy and is uplifting not dragging people down.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I give up. Rinky rules the day. Help us, Kaori Sakamoto, you are our only hope!

I heard Kaori is injured so honestly I’m not sure what to expect

 

[Ares]

Safe to say, Rion won't beat Amber's FS score and won't push hard Kaori with that skate. I loved that she was full of energy throughout the whole program, did not seem dejected after errors in jumps. She should though held off Glenn at least.
