2024 Four Continents Women's Free Skate

[anonymoose_au]

I realized I saw this program for the first time and god, this is a horrible program.
The babylaughter, the wheepy ballad, the generic choreo, the plain dress, I dislike all of it.
Her skating's good though...

Yeah me too, what the heck was the beginning with the baby, it creeped me out! Was Benoit behind this?!

Mone is such a good skater in every aspect. Her spins, her skating skills, her knee bend, and her performance ability are all fantastic. Following her injury in the fall, Mone's consistency has improved so much. She looked visibly nervous before the program, but I think her training took over once the music started and she just nailed element after element. She is from Sendai, which isn't a skating powerhouse and doesn't have a lot of rinks, so I wonder if her move to Kinoshita and the increased private ice time has led to this new consistency and confidence. Congratulations on the title, Mone, and we look forward to seeing you at Worlds.

No more generic sweet ice princess stuff for me
I just can't.
This makes me aggressive.
I just cannot watch more than 3 skaters in a row in a women's competition.

MONE SLAY!!!!!!

I was nervous cause she also looked afraid in the beginning of her program just like her SP yesterday, but glad to see her relaxed more during the choreo sequence and after she landed the last jump.

How good is her SS and her spins

I hate when Happy Haein is sad but love this podium

 

[cohkaix]

Well done, Mone!!

 

[readernick]

She did very well. She is lovely. All the elements are great. The skating skills are great. She's learned to rotate her jumps for the most part. For some reason, I can't connect with her skating at all. I think her nerves rather ruin the performance but still clearly the best. Congrats, Mone!

MONE!!!!! I just love her so much. The feelings I get watching her skating are similar to what I feel readig a good book.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Congratulations Mone! I know I put her in my predictions, not sure which place though.

And yay Maria C didn't come last
