Georgia Lady better not kick Nastya when she's down, or I'm gonna throw hands.

She does seem to have gone shopping and got herself a nice Cherry Blossom inspired outfit.

Georgian Fed Lady is matching the K&C today

another nervous skater on ice. will she survive?

 

[EdgeCall]

Almost.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Her knee is taped to high heaven, I think her boot taping is to keep the laces in

 

[elektra blue]

is it just me or Amber does look a bit like Gaga?

Facial expressions are definitely an important way to express a program, but they are also only a small part of artistry and judging.

As with anything, facial expression can also soon end up being too much (or the unfortunate unfitting "pageant smile"), but a solid, individual balance is possible. Some skaters look more natural with a more "theatrical" expression, some with a more understated expression, it's all individual.

Personally I don't care about facial expressions at all. Kolyada does hardly have any facial expression and it doesn't take away anything for me. Hanyu doesn't do much of it, and I never felt anything lacking. But I don't mind it if it's the skaters thing and it's not over the top. I just don't need it.

Gagarin?

Actually - yes.

It lookes the tape has loosed a little bit. Let's hope it keeps through whole program.

I've probably said that a thousand times already, but I like Amber's short so much better for her.

Based on her interactions with other skaters in the K&C (like for example Karina yesterday), she actually seems pretty nice and comforting towards the Georgian skaters.

I think she just had too much botox and fillers, so she's just actually incapable of smiling or showing other emotions

 

[elektra blue]

how many combos did she jump?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Not a rep not the skate Amber wanted but not a that bad of a skate either Brave of her to go for that 3A

I seen her live twice and she looks caring. When Nastya had bad skate at Espoo GP, she hugged her.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Amberrrr, short a combo AGAIN?!

...Could've been worse, but could've been better.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh wow this is way more enjoyable program than the one with Emo Beethoven's letters!

She looks disappointed, but that was great - loved the Choreo sequence! Good on her for trying the 3A! Hope her knee heals though.

 

[GGFan]

Really happy I finally got to see Amber at Worlds. Not clean but a performance she can definitely build from. Looking forward to seeing what she brings next season.

Oh Amber....she fought but the dream is deferred once again.
