2024 Finlandia Trophy Women's Free Skate

[norwegianfairytale]

you know teal is one of my favourite colors?

Looks like basically has sealed both EC and WC spot now. Last season she didn´t make it to Worlds, but i´m sure she will this season. That is a pity for Sonja Henie Trophy because that means she most likely won´t go again this year to defend her title, but i´m so happy for her

Edit: Wooops quoted wrong again, you know we talked about brain fog

Honestly... Rino makes everyone who skates after her look bad.

I get goosebumps with Hana Yoshida :') I love how unique she is! Such a lovely skater.

wooooo so close, but both Rino and Hana will reach the GPF! well... probably

Hana is definitely a bit more of a "raw" skater than Rino - she has such speed and dynamism, but less polish throughout. That being said, I love this program for her, she does such a good job performing it and I adore the timing of the jumps with the music. It will be tight between her and Rino - it will depend on how rotation calls go and PCS scores, but this was still a great skate for Hana and she should be proud of her increased consistency and PCs ability.

The purple flower crown!!! Is that made by one of someone here?

Apart from 3A fall number who knows which in international stage,she shows high level again.And not gonna lie she is different when it comes to interpretation of her program,but in good and interesting way.Starting to really like this program.Dress is fully part of this as well.Still she will need that 3A in GP Final.

I will have a word with Ariane Moffatt... she shouldn't sing this

Hana. Pretty dress and program. Really good skate.

By me

Okay I have about 50 minutes to shower and get some midnight snacks before Hannah and Ye

And a good skate from Hanna too! Can't land a 3A in competition if you don't try it in competition, so props to her for that. I do like the little details in this performance: the fist beat with the music at the end of the hydroblade, the abrupt straightening of her arm in the Ch Combo Spin. Second in the free, but first place overall - she's on her way to the GP Final!

OMG THE DIFFERENCES OF THE TOP THREE!
Congrats Hana, Rino, Lara Naki!!!!!

Rino : one time violation away from the title

 

[GGFan]

The time violation kept Rino from winning but congrats to Hana.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

The scores Lara only one point away from gold

 

[EdgeCall]

Phew, Won by 0.26. What a close call.

Congrats to the well deserved medallist!

 

[YuBluByMe]

Whew….Yoshida cut it close. Yoshida and Matsuike both qualify to GPF.

 

[Sabsi]

Hana took that crown!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Idiote]

Congrats Hana, Rino and Lara !! Great podium

 

[lileychristie]

Wow I didn't expect Hana to lose the free skate to Rino, but she still wins the event by 0.26 points

So Rino's popped sal or the time violation costs her the gold - but I do think Hana deserves to win overall.

Hana's English is so good!
