Firebird...every time I hear this, I think of Tonia Kwiatkowski.

Hey @NoNameFace , you're sure you don't want to come sit next to @Ruthypegs, to have a bigger chance for the skaters to pick up your beautiful crowns? It doesn't look like anyone's sitting there today. It feels like such a pity to me to see the flower girls pick them up and take them away.

Sarah is fighting but I don't see any fire in that bird

 

[jgg220]

Matsuike should beat Everhardt by at least 30 points in PCS unless they are only awarded based on arm movement quantity.

 

[Idiote]

Hell yeah Sarah

 

[Sabsi]

Sarah is such a consistent jumper.
Another great skate!

 

[elektra blue]

solid, just one mistake

 

[Ichatdelune]

As I said before, solid tech but she gives me nothing else

 

[Baron Vladimir]

2A-3T
But why so many skaters lacking in projection toward to public/judges today, their PR (and even CO) score could be so much better otherwise

 

[LazyFuzai]

Soft legs so much.Barely making those landings.Also it fells more like her movement is there to be checked instead of be part of the program.Average one

I was just about to say that to me, it felt like she didn't have enough energy for that program.

 

[bartlebooth]

Go Lara!

Funny that this is considered a "not great" skate from Sarah - she really is remarkably consistent. The jumps here weren't quite as confident - there was a lot more tightness on her landings, and the rotation looked slightly less sure than in her last GP, hitting that "q" mark a lot. She needed just close to her SB to take the lead here, but those small GOE reductions along with her dropping a few spin levels will be killer to her score, especially since she doesn't have the PCS score to back her. This program does feel a bit empty and cold to me, although it really doesn't help that she went after Rino. I think she wants to perform, but right now it's dropping to focus on the jumps. Hopefully she can bring some facial engagement and musical sensitivity as she gets more comfortable with skating internationally.

Sarah's lutz is one of my fav jumps. It's fascinating because she's stiff but her hands aren't so she has moments when it works. I think this is good music for her. The consistency could take her far.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Another solid skate

 

[Jeanie19]

Sarah. Pretty red dress. Good program and skate.

too much fire burns the fuel quickly
