2024 NHK Trophy Women's Free Skate

[CrazyKittenLady]

Oh dear, those were a lot of iffy jumps.
Still, Olga has some of the best musicality and skating skills on the women's circuit, imo. She doesn't always get enough credit for that.

They're just paying tribute to the Queen of Carrots, JSF Director Satoko Miyahara, who is commentating on this live in Japanese.

Now, now...be nice

I don't mind him for singles. I just find his commentary for ice dance really base level.

To be fair, no one can really commentate on ice dance except ice dancer (and even then).

Olga. Pretty blur dress. Nice program and skate. Her step sequence is always so good.

i want Jean Luc to commentate on dance!

I have just seen the numerals on the neckline of Olga's dress, what a neat detail in keeping with the clock theme. Her step sequence is delightfully jaunty, particularly the little heel spin. Her 3F with the falling leaf out of it was the best of her jumps for me.

I still don't get the abrupt music cut for the steps, also I'm not feeling well

I'm sending you healing vibes. I know how queasy one can feel when watching figure skating while being unwell.

ANOTHER gorgeous dress. This is why women is my favorite discipline.

I want Jean Luc to commentate on anything!

I miss him and Katelyn, are they taking a break? Or did they retire?

 

[Sabsi]

this is such a beautiful dress Go Seoyeong!

 

[rabidline]

Also these are Seoyeong's programs from the pandemic season isn't it? Viejos Aires SP and the Tristan & Isolde FS?

The nausea is purely figure skating, I did take some antiacid though. Thank you for your concern

 

[Sabsi]

What a start!

 

[rabidline]

This is a much livelier music choice, I appreciate it.

 

[rabidline]

I really do have a soft spot for Seoyeong since juniors... she really grew up well.

 

[Sai Bon]

Hang in there, Ichat! Your girl is doing great!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Chris is perking up!

It is known, but I'll say it again the Koreans are always so well dressed!

 

[rabidline]

Last lutz is a bit iffy but come on, bring us home!!

 

[readernick]

Seoyeong does not fit the vibe of this group. She can rotate jumps. I am not sure she has the skills the other women in this group have though....

Love dress, and some nice jumps.

 

[rabidline]

I didn't realize I really needed this music after the first few programs. Finally! Something that's alive!!!!
