2024 Grand Prix de France Women's Short Program

[Vemvane]

First thought on Rion: what a pretty hair piece. Second thought: oooh, pretty soft arms. Third thought: oh, the footwork out of the 2A is gorgeous. She has lovely spins and I enjoyed her step sequence as well, she looks so floaty across the ice. The step-out on the flip I think cost her the lead.

top 3 is basically tied

 

[CellarDweller]

Huge step forward artistically from Rion IMHO. She's always been a very good skater but her programs were meh ... This was good.

Agreed. I thought she skated this beautifully.

 

[YuBluByMe]

I think Sumiyoshi has the most put together program so far and the best performance. The step out on the 3F was unnecessary, especially since she usually does a solo 3Lz. Hopefully that mistake doesn’t hurt her score too much.

 

[elektra blue]

I think it fits her style. Don't know what Rion would do with AC/DC.

classical music would be fine too i. e Chopin

What am I missing? Seems like a harsh panel. Those are all pretty low scores for decent skates, yes? Or am I just out of touch with scoring since I haven't been watching as much the last few seasons?

Out of touch.

The height on Livia's 3Lz is so impressive, but there just wasn't enough speed coming out to get that triple toe on - too much up-and-down, not enough length. Of course that will hurt her BV, but she still got great GOE out of the combo. I love this program for her, it works really well with her natural performance ability, and that choreo on the 3F is brilliant, but there was a lot of just stroking into her jumps that will hurt her skating skills score, and the drop of levels and GOE on her steps and spin are going to be more costly than the toe pop.

 

[elektra blue]

this music and this edgy look suit Livia so well

 

[Mariiiiskate]

A good skate from Livia, even tho she didn’t get the 3-3 done

 

[LazyFuzai]

Not bad.Still Idk this Stsq is a joke literally ..

 

[Princessroja]

Out of touch.

As weird as it sounds--good! The scoring was getting a little out of hand there for a while...

 

[Jeanie19]

Livia. Elegant black dress. Really good program and a good skate.

 

[elektra blue]

Not bad.Still Idk this Stsq is a joke literally ..

choreographer: and now kneel on the ice and do the peeing dog pose

 

[YuBluByMe]

I really like Kaiser’s ending pose, but she needs to own it more. Her 3Lz is huge! She’s been struggling to put the 3T on it all season.

 

[Vemvane]

Livia's music and programme are fairly distinctive, and I love the little details in the choreography - the tiptoe steps sideways after her flying sit spin, the tosses of her head. She's doing a good job with this already, early in the season.

So the top SP scores from this season so far goes:

1	Amber GLENN	USA	ISU CS Lombardia Trophy 2024	13/09/2024	75.71	S
2	Kaori SAKAMOTO	JPN	ISU GP Skate Canada International 2024	25/10/2024	74.97	S
