2023 Skate Canada Women's Free Skate

Yay, Thoringren! Mom and I are huge fans since juniors! Such a pretty ethereal program!

She did great!!! So happy for her

Well, evidently this was a clean skate. Minimal issues, but the judges are probably going to reassess her score here a little. Shes a good skater and a good athlete. Her flexibility especially I like - the extension and her Ina Bauer (I bet it'd be beautiful to see her get the chance to hold that in an exhibition program).

Now is this just me, or she seemed quite disconnected from her choreo? At least for the former majority of the program - she did seem to gain some momentum towards the end... Seems like lots of girls in this sport struggle to start off with the full expression and need that momentum. I guess thats what separates most skaters from those who are closer to inherent artists.

The judges better not play any games with her score...

The best I've ever seen Lindsay skate on the big stage. Her jumps still kept flow in their landings, beautiful spins, etc. She has so many nice qualities. Happy for her.

Hopefully she figures out the under rotations.

Lindsay is a gem in progress

Lindsay has beautiful soft landings. Is she in braces? I need a bit more facial expression.

Sadly another injury recovery. Heart surgery this summer. Second one she's had. Not making excuses - Starr is a very charming performer but never really known as a strong technician, etc., but that would affect endurance, of course. Note I'm very pro weight training, etc. Just providing background.

I'm sure she will work on her conditioning.

Nice skate from Lindsay. She's becoming more expressive. I know that Levito superficially made the better transition to seniors last year, but I like how Lindsay is building more gradually. I worry that Levito will burn out too early.

Wow from Lindsay. Isabeau has some major competition for Nationals.

 

[YuBluByMe]

I really liked her free last year, but along with the SP I think this is Thorngren’s best set of programs. Lovely program and the music cut works in the end. Beautiful spins too.

I much prefer her to Isabeau. I know people don't like these comparisons, but if the US wants to back one of their skaters, I think they should pick Lindsay.

 

[yelyoh]

Solid from Lindsey but still some under. Should go into first. "Stoic."

 

[4everchan]

It's so nice to hear Osmond as a commentator... Shows she trained with Ravi.... tech specialist She's very articulate when talking about elements...

 

[lileychristie]

Solid skate from Lindsay

I like this free program way more than her SP. And I don't even like twilight

 

[Brauliomx]

what??? second! by less than 0.30

I do not agree with

 

[cheerknithanson]

Oh come on......

 

[Jammers]

C'mon that goes behind Maddie?

 

[Dawn825]

Damn. So close.

 

[Skatingcat]

Second?
