2024 CS Lombardia Trophy Women's SP

[Layback11]

I cannot say that Amber beating Kaori in the SP if they were both clean was on my predictions list for this competition

 

[Ichatdelune]

I'm not sure if I'm missing a reference here but does she need those lines on her front? Maybe I'm a perv but it kinda reminded me of bondage lines????

 

[katymay]

I don't know about Amber's levels on spins etc, but I would have had that in the low 80's.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Great program from Glenn with fast, aggressive skating that fits the program. That’s the first time I seen her land a 3A in the SP. PB incoming and she should beat Sakamoto here.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Whoa excellent skate, 3A landed and that loop *mwah* dress could be better though but that's just me

I think the crossed black straps over the mesh on the bodice are meant to evoke Janet Jackson’s iconic stage wear. They do for me (full disclosure, I am old enough to remember Janet Jackson)

And who is this Latvian using Andrew Torgashev’s music?! Andrew, you are a worldwide phenomenon now, congratulations!!

3Lo
FCSp?
2A
CCoSp?
StSq

SP: 50.94 (7th)

A much better skate for her than some of the disaster SPs she's had in the past season. However, this program makes me want to watch Andrew Torgashev's again.

CCoSp
StSq - very cool sliding motion in there!

Have never seen Anastasija before! She could definitely use some speed/energy though. Very visually interesting costume design

i don't see the problem with that or the perversion it's 2024 we don't get outraged by bdsm anymore

1) I maintain that there was a better way to represent Janet Jackson's look, call me a perv but I still see bondage lines
2) Ah right I forgot that in FS it's Andrew T's music to me L'Enfer is Milena Baldassarri's music from RG

StSq - super fun, she really sells that. Great musicality!
LSp
Definitely missed a spin somewhere

Score: 25.76/23.27 - 49.03

So much speed and power, and she looks like she's having so much fun! Her jumps are huge and I really look forward to seeing how they progress. I really enjoyed watching this performance and eye contact with the camera is always a win, haha. Definitely one of the better programs so far in terms of musicality and engagement!

For me bondage is either done to the full effect or not done at all, like go full harness or don't... No kink shaming intended but also do we really need bdsm imagery when it's not necessarily adding to the program?

some of it it's some mainstream nowadays, designer made it so a couple of years ago when they started using some of its element in their haute cuture collections

more ethnic music

14. Clemence MAYINDU

3T+3T<
2Aq (step out)
FCSp?
3S< (hand, stepout, might be counted as a fall)
CCoSp?
LSp? (some travel on the biellmann)
StSq?

SP: 36.81 (14th)

Clemence is so fast! The triple-triple looks close - it's certainly one of the better attempts we've seen today. It's a shame that the other jumps didn't work out.

Clemence MAYINDOU FRA
Music: Black Panther - Wakanda Forever OST by Ludwig Göransson
Costume: black bodysuit with bare midriff, long-sleeve top with blue and gold panels

Tech:
3T-3T - fall
2A - step
FCCoSp
3S - step
CCoSp(?)
StSq
Missed a spin somewhere

Score: 17.46/20.35 - 36.81, into 14th

Great choreo, especially in the StSq. Definitely a different flavor than anything else we've seen so far and a nice change. Just a little wild on some of the jumps, though, it seemed? Big and fast but not quite under control.

 

[elektra blue]

forza Anna!

 

[Sabsi]

Anna (love her dress)

 

[Ichatdelune]

So I'm still thinking about my stance against Amber Glenn's dress, like I think this one is the direct reference and it looks much, much better than what the dress came out as?? Like why did you need the mesh?????
