2023 JGP Armenian Cup Women's Short Program

And colours don't always have to be in synch with the flag past or present - Australian athletes etc often dress in yellow and green. One of these days, I'll remember why...

Because the green is the outback and the yellow is the beach.

Nah, I'm just making it up. Far more likely it's because both colours are bright! Not so much blue, white and red.

Hello lovelies. Believe it or not I'm currently on a plane which offers free wifi on board, so here I am on my laptop watching JGP and posting on GS

Too bad I'm greeted with a blank sheet of ice though

今回はスピンやステップのレベルの取りこぼしが無いように
練習してきたので、それが出せてうれしかったです。
This time, I have been practicing so as not to miss any level of spins and steps.
I was happy to be able to do so.

感謝の気持ちを持って、また全力で練習頑張りたいと思います。
With a sense of gratitude, I will do my best to practice again.

I googled, from the PM's office website... "Gold conjures images of Australia’s beaches, mineral wealth, grain harvests and the fleece of Australian wool. Green evokes the forests, eucalyptus trees and pastures of the Australian landscape." You are more right than you thought...

Isn't it obvious what Ted's superhero name should be?!

Léna Ekker, last skater in this group, had been the kind one, who had borrowed Iida K her dress when Iida did not get her luggage in time at JGP Budapest. Iida mentioned her at her IG account.

Who would ever have thought there was a connection between figure skating dresses and boxing shorts?!

Oh, wait...

I can speak some Japanese, and I was not happy with the ISU translation as well. C'mon, don't make them all sound so generic and boring!

Hi

 

[anonymoose_au]

Isn't it obvious what Ted's superhero name should be?!

CaroLiza_fan

Haha I love SuperTed!

You should send him the picture

 

[TT_Fin]

Oh no, Axel pop.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

OOoh what a shame, it started so well with that combo

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Sofia started so well with 3F-3T and then fell apart after the stsq

 

[TT_Fin]

Not her day, but Finnish commentators would say "there was also lot of good in this program". There is still FS to go, .

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ted: You can't do that, well you can, but you shouldn't.

Shades of Old Dick Button and his: Oh she fell there and that was just unnecessary.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Haha I love SuperTed!

So did I!!! (It's well seeing we're about the same age!)

But, does that mean that Mark is Spotty?

Hey, I just had a thought. Is this where your love of polka dots came from? From watching Spotty on "Superted"?!

Interesting to see another Estonian skater. Nice skating skills, really nice dress. Shame about the lutz, but overall not bad!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Giant plushy

It's nearly the same size as she is!

And she loves it!
