2023 Grand Prix of Espoo Women's Free Skate

[CellarDweller]

There is an opera-themed bakery in my area and one of their specials is a box of Turandonuts. The "Nessun Donut" is spiked with so much caffeine and sugar that it will keep you up for days!

I am a bit worried for Starr this year. The competition is so fierce among the ladies and the junior keep on rising.

oh poor Starr I'm still amazed she skates with her heart condition

What?!!

 

[labgoat]

As healthy as she can be. I just think she is close to maxing out her technical abilities.

Sadly Andrews' most difficult jump (triple flip) did not work today, the position of her torso was off at the entry, she was hunched and decelerating when entering those jumps. The choreography though is beautiful and the ending was strong, first woman skater today to receive lvl 4 today? Or has Glenn already reached it too?

 

[CellarDweller]

I think it's time for Starr to really think about whether or not she still wants to do this, and if she does, invest in a jumping coach.

Still no Lutz in her programs, and the inconsistancies with her jumps need to be fixed if she's going to be truly competitive.

Glad Starr kept on going after the first half! Hopefully she'll skate better at U.S. Nats!

I was too nervous to watch Amber live this morning but now I feel awful for Starr…

Nella's hair looks so pretty! And that dress looks great on her.

 

[Arriba627]

Not quite the skate Starr was hoping for. Kudos to her for getting it done. I'm always amazed when they mention her heart surgery. Thx for giving it your all...As always, she is a Costume Queen--always so well dressed!

 

[snowflake]

GO Nella!

 

[labgoat]

She has really smoothed out her extensions, spins and footwork. Yesterday she really attacked her jumps, but it didn't work out. She's put in the work, but others are creeping up on her at home.

 

[labgoat]

How nice for Nella to start so well at home. Great jump combos!
