2024 CS Lombardia Trophy Women's SP

[Sabsi]

Anna has so much jumping potential, it’s just stunning how much height she gets.

SP: 64.11 (4th) PB

I love Anna's skating so much, and I'm so glad she has new programs - her old ones felt like they bad energy or something. I just wish she could find more consistency (and I'm sure she does to) but this seems like a solid vehicle for her and she did a really good job of fighting through the program after the first mistake. She can actually do big music because of her speed and power.

Anna PEZZETTA ITA

Music: Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinsky

Costume: red ombre, sleeveless with matching gloves, very sparkly neckline

Tech:
3Lz-2T - huuuuge 3Lz, not enough flow out for the triple on the back end
2A - lovely running edge out
FCCoSp - nice and fast
3F - also absolutely bonkers huge
StSq
CCoSp - from very neat running three turn transition
LSp

Score: 34.12/29.99 - 64.11, into 4th

Her dress is beautiful, but it might actually be too pretty for Firebird! I've always felt like Firebird needs to be giving a little weird, a little Cirque de Soleil...

Everything about Anna's skating has so much amplitude and power, and I enjoy watching her so much, but this was not a music choice I'm sure about? While it suits her speed and power, it doesn't seem like there's much of a connection to the music here. Maybe that'll come? Regardless, it's music she can live up to, so there's that. Also not sure about this many music cuts for an SP. Still, super enjoyable skate for technical content alone; it's honestly fun just to watch her skate at all, music aside.

Huuuuuuge jumps as usual, the lutz wasn't held that well but excellent 2A and 3F. I thought the dress lacks a bit of fire for, well, Firebird, but still pretty

 

[Sabsi]

Agree so much!

 

[katymay]

I never get tired of watching Anna jump. Problem is that her lutz is too big for the second triple. Great program though, I love the sheer power of Anna.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Anna looks stunning in red

That huge 2A was so pleasant to watch, Anna has so so so much talent and potential, I will keep hoping that she will get it together and start delivering those clean skates.

Now that it's a break...(checks my predictions and curses myself for not predicting Amber would do as well as she did)

Skate Picks are such a fickle creature...

wait for the free. i wish Amber to do well in the free as she does in the short but you know...i have very little confidence

 

[Ichatdelune]

Anna Pezzetta always makes me think of Minchae, both big, BIG jumpers who have trouble with control and consistency. Minchae girl please be healthy and ready for your GP...

And that’s a shame—but I had exactly the same thought, after having watched Amber more times than I can count.

She did look unusually confident on the ice today, though, and that was great to see.

my daughter you go baby girl!

the program fits her better than those cheesy ballads she sometimes like to skate to. i think it's the right kind of program for her

16. Niina PETROKINA

2A
3F+2T (turnout of 2T, looked like a triple pop)
CCoSp?
3Lz
StSq?
FCSp? (musically phrased butterfly entry and so fast!)
LSp?

SP: 60.73 (6th)

I like this SP a lot for Niina, she is so good at portraying intensity in music. It's a shame about the combo - just a momentary mistake - but the rest of the program was so strong. I do wish she'd move the combo or 2A placement, because she does both of them in the same spot one after the other (just a personal pet peeve). It's so nice to see her back and healthy!

Niina PETROKINA EST

Music: Soldier by Fleurie

Costume: bluish-grey long sleeve with darker grey airbrushing and fluttery sleeves

Tech:
2A
3F-2T - step
CCoSp
3Lz
StSq
FCCoSp
LSp

Score: 32.73/28.00 - 60.73, into 6th

She has a lot of fan kicks in this choreo (like, a Lot) that only get halfway up and I want her to EXTEND, haha. Otherwise, mostly pretty solid! She looks well-conditioned and strong and would've had a clean skate if not for the slight loss of control on her combo. There are a lot of cool jumpy transitions out of elements that I fully endorse and support. Sadly not a fan of the dress :/ the silhouette is just kinda funky?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Well done Niina
It’s nice to have her back!

 

[elektra blue]

minor mistake on her combo. i take it!

 

[Ichatdelune]

So I like the program and although her 3-3 isn't back yet she looked solid, but I am dissatisfied with the dress and I can't pinpoint why. Maybe it's the shoulder mesh? Maybe it's the bodice lines? Gaaaaahhhh

 

[Seven Sisters]

This dress DOES look green on my feed BTW
