2024 Grand Prix de France Women's Free Skate

Clémence asking the judges " ne me jugez pas " LOL

funny

Well, she can try...but I doubt it works

Despite the mistakes, she will learn a lot from this competition. She moves well and just needs some work checking out of her jumps, but nothing that is unfixable that I can see. She has lovely posture and a certain grace.

way to make an entrance!!

Again, SBS desperately needs a francophone speaker on the broadcasting team, Thomas Rochelet is being pronounced as if it were an English name and it's difficult to hear

French is very hard to pronounce for most non-native. I give Mark a pass as long as he is trying sometimes...

I love the dress - it's such a gorgeous colour on her and the keyhole back is wonderful as well. I love the support of the audience for her. This wasn't the jump day she hoped for, but she kept on pushing throughout - she didn't let the rest of the program go and she was really pushing for each of those crossovers to keep the speed up. Free skates are so exhausting, especially for skaters like Clemence who don't have the same amount of practice time, and when coupled with the adrenaline of this event, the fatigue must be immense for her.

Only reds and one gray. Home pressure?

Is this a Cleansweep or a Silverarrow?

Clemence. Beautiful blue dress. A good program. She has so much potential.

Someone pretending to be a cool witch when in fact, she is just :

Considering she didn’t have much notice and it’s her first GP event, I think this is an understandable performance. The crowd is very supportive and still a huge moment for Clemence, well done

French is very hard to pronounce for most non-native. I give Mark a pass as long as he is trying sometimes...

As a non-fluent French speaker I do understand that, but for the sounds that can be produced within the phonemes of Korean it should be done and I'm dying on that hill. Like... the s is silent in Thomas, ch is the 'sh' sound in English, e without any accent diacritics is not pronounced 'eh', the t is silent in Rochelet...

A hard-fought skate for Clémence. The way she recovered the 3T landing was impressive, as I was convinced she was going to fall. I do like the side position she takes in her camel spin, it always catches my eye when a skater does it. A very good sport when she gets her score.

as much as i love vintage silver arrows are more modern

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Léa ditched Nicole's old jumpsuit I see

Depends on the Cleansweep model.

Go Lea!

 

[Warwick360]

Wow. That's the most red I have ever seen.

I agree about the silent consonants... it's one of my pet peeves... i give a pass for nasals... even Parisians now are less and less using them...
BUT... i have a hard time with the hard G. This one is unacceptable for my ears... but here, Mark has been well trained... He hasn't said this GP is angering him yet...

[EdgeCall]

Darn, it had to happen.
