2023 JGP Osaka Women's Short Program

2 Ruotang LI CHN in powder blue and white ombre skating to Memories. Getting her opening jumps done, good spinner, good posture and speed. Tentative on the 2A with stepout. Opening jumps may be under review as well.

Aside - I remember back in the day when every skate to Memory ended in a very long spiral as the music drifted off. I miss spirals.

Ruotang is so cute

Shame about the 2A I truly love her skating and spins, hopefully she will do great in the free as well.

 

[TallyT]

Hello folks, I am taking a needed break from study and these girls are probably exactly what I need, so...

Oh, pretty dress! (Warning, I intend to be shallow. I have spent three days being deep and meaningful and three days are enough.)

 

[lileychristie]

Ruotang has a really good lutz, proper outside edge! And StSq lv 4 too!!

I think I might have to adopt her

 

[auser]

I miss spirals.

Me too!

 

[4everchan]

oh no.. the fall on the percussion sound

 

[lileychristie]

Ah Anri, fall right on the gong of the music

3 Phattaratida KANESHIGE THA skates to Cappriccio Espagnole in black with red trim. Oops she falls on the beat of the music on the combo. I hear this music and think of Caryn Kadavy and Lu Chen. Oh no another jump miss. She is very musical and when she gets her jumps working could score much better.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh Anri i dont know if she is still recovering from her leg fracture or just simply not in shape yet but we all know she is capable of so much more, hopefully the free will go better.

 

[labgoat]

Oh my she is recovering from a tibia fracture in her right leg. Kudos to her on the road to recovery. Coached by Damon Allen.

oh no.. the fall on the percussion sound

And that has just confirmed that I am running behind thanks to that buffering during the Warm-Up. Because I read your comment before I saw it happen.

It was nicely timed to fit the music, though. So, credit to her for that.

Otherwise, not bad.

I like the colour of the dress, but not keen on the design. It's just large areas of sparklies, and large areas of see-through tights material. Nothing else. It would help if there was less of those but with some areas of proper material as well.

Elena seems very happy to be here, she has great spin and this was a good jpg debut for her

4 Elena Catherine MILLS BRA in black and silver trim skates to Dernniere Dance by Indila, Adila Sedraia. A tall 15yo, she struggles with the combo jump, but gets in a decent 2A. Strong spinner followed by stepout of 2LZ. She had fun. Choreographed by Karen Kwan.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

+10,000 for skating to "Dernière Danse". (Interesting spelling on the ISU Bio...)

I have loved that song ever since it was released.

Awww, her smile, particularly the one at the end, just melted my heart!

Never seen this girl before, but I like her.

Good to see more skaters representing South American countries.

rinky's game is strong tonight....

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Mia got left with no combo hopefully she can bounce back in the free

 

[labgoat]

5 Mia KALIN USA coached by Vadim Shebeco in black with pink skirt skates to Rain, In Your Black Eyes by Ezio Bosso. Opening 2A good, 3LZ may get an edge call and a fall on 3F. She has become much more expressive to the music. Massimo Scali helped her on her skating skills and it shows. She is disappointed as am I.

 

[skim1001]

shame on the fall. Mia has improved but still a long way to go

Time for

 

[4everchan]

ok. i am nervous. I really like Rose... and when I like a young skater, rinky likes them even more.
