2024 Finlandia Trophy Women's Free Skate

[norwegianfairytale]

Started so well, and then some mistakes in then end. But overall, well done

With the new rules change about jump SEQ, i really miss 2A-3T combos and triple-3Lo combos or even triple-2Lo-2Lo combos. I remember Medvedeva jumped once 2A-3Lo combo, which was very unique...

i like the seq, it has more flow (assuming that the skater doesn't mess it up) and you still see all the combos you mentioned

Janna. I love her dress. Good program and skate in front of home crowd.

 

[auser]

Lovely spins and spiral from Janna.

Love that bi-directional spin from Janna - even though it was a bit slow, I like how it started with the clockwise rotation

 

[norwegianfairytale]

She seems very happy to be there, it´s so nice to see

Now you can see ladies jump more 3T-2A Seq instead 2A-3T which i find more visually impactful (and harder to execute), because base value for those two is the same after the rules change.

Lindsay yessssss darling

 

[elektra blue]

This is one of the most stunning dresses I've ever seen. I think this program could be a star-making vehicle like her short program, but it needs just a bit more time and comfort with the jumps. Outside of the jumps, this program is great, it's just the choreo in that falls a little short of her potential. She's a very introverted performer (and by that I mean she tends to perform for herself rather than out to the audiences), which works so well with this music, and there are some gorgeous moments already, like in the choreo and step sequences, but I also think keeping this program for another season would be a really smart choice, I'd love to see it with her at 100% confidence.

Beautiful layback Lindsey!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Excellent spins and good skate

I think the panel will look at the rotations though. Shame about the popped axel

 

[GGFan]

Lindsay has so much potential and does so many things beautifully. I'm happy she stayed on her feet.

 

[Jeanie19]

Lindsay. Pretty dress. Lovely program and skate. Great spins and except for the axel, really good skate.
