2024 Grand Prix de France Women's Free Skate

[Warwick360]

A strong contender for European title.

Really like Livia’s programs this season..

 

[Vemvane]

A lovely skate for Livia - her opening combination received over a point in GOE in live scoring. I really enjoyed the way she varied arm position in the jumps: the 3F-2A-2T had every variation, rippon-normal-tano, the 3Lz-2T was rippon-tano, and her final 3Lo had a genuinely nice tano.

I should order my liquor bonbons in time for GP Helsinki, I miss the ones I had in Italy but I still can get some sake Kit-Kats imported from Japan in time

can you get some mon cheri? they're my favourite liquor pralines and the best in my opinion

I am not sure why anyone would want to screw Aranjuez that much....

It's already a guitar concerto... no need to flamenco it up and actually put a violin on top

wrong choice... and since it is upsetting me, i am forgetting to watch the skate.

Misha Ge did her FS, right? I don't know exactly why but I'm not into any of his programs for the Japanese women this season, it's not because I don't like his style (I enjoy the programs he did for our girls, for instance) so...

Mai's struggled a lot with the jumps since returning to competition. All things considered, this was a good program for her - right away you can see the quality of all of her elements and her skating. I understand why she needs to check out before the jumps, but she's such a good performer the rest of the time (just look at that step sequence!) that you really feel the disconnect before the jumps. The second-half conditioning just wasn't quite there - understandable, again, because of the injury and time off - but maybe her team could have back-loaded 3T or 3S at the end to make this program a little easier. At least she seems very happy with this program, and the audience is very warm and supportive of her (as they should be).

So many beautiful moments and then these annoying mistakes.

At least she keeps up her spirit.

 

[elektra blue]

she drinks so much she changes gender identity and gets a flip phone

i also travelled back in time to the 90s

these are a special edition they make for christmas, i like the classic one more

What's great about Mai is that she never looks checked out/on autopilot/ too focused. She's present and relaxed for every minute. Special girl.

 

[Jeanie19]

Mai. Pretty black dress and a pretty program. A couple mistakes, but still a good skate.

 

[Ares]

Mai's interpretation of music was lovely. Those triple flips had a lacking rotation though clearly
