2024 Riga Cup Women's Free Skate

[elektra blue]

It is an unusual name, she also looks lovely in that dress. I also like her braid.

i think it's a norse name

 

[TallyT]

i thought they were talking of somebody at this competition

Maybe you're right, I can't think who though. Mark was talking about fanbases as much as the opposite.

Several of these kids have growing fan bases though I hope not enough to need to worry.

Hey, those are funky blades Saedis has!

Oooh, I wonder if they're those experimental blades that was mentioned in a thread here some time ago! It has these "rings" in the blades that supposedly absorbs a lot of shock. I remember people here were very shocked about it though

I really liked Kidakarn in the SP and love her name and look.

 

[4everchan]

Aw dang, I should have known the Canadians would be on it.

This is a nice dress, love the colour.

Probably they picked it up somewhere else too

Thai tango...a Thango

 

[labgoat]

Oh dear the harder jumps are not landing well for her today. She has style and spunk though.

 

[4everchan]

Unfortunately for me, in Indonesian if you remove the e ("Sadis") it means cruel / heartless and I can't unsee it in her name

nothing to do with Indonesian though.

Sadism comes from Marquis de Sade.

The term was coined by the late 19th-century German psychologist Richard von Krafft-Ebing in reference to the Marquis de Sade, an 18th-century French nobleman who chronicled his own such practices.

Poor kid, it's not her day but she's still trying her best. I like her.

 

[Jeanie19]

Kidakarn. Elegant black dress. A rough skate but she stayed committed to the program.

 

[hermine17]

Poor girl. Good job fighting until the end.

 

[labgoat]

Smart girl too! I love that she is not deflated. She has very nice spins. The harder jumps are a work in progress.

 

[4everchan]

Him in the picture, most notably at Pyeongchang Airport 2018. Unforgettable. (There were two or three other times too, due to both fans, nonfans and stalkers, he hasn't had it easy, but that time was less scary and more badass.)

I didn't hear them talk about this but i doubt they are still talking about 2018 during streaming JGP.

Doesn't have to be about fans. Could be some wealthy young kids, training in a sketchy area and parents feel like they need to protect their children.

Oh right I forgot it's also a word in English (and probably other languages too).

I feel like that word is not used as often in English (at least in my corner of the world) compared to in Indonesian, hence I even forgot it exists (yes somehow Indonesian likes to use that word... there's even a famous heartbreak song with that title lol)

Anyway, glad to see Saedis did really well and not heartbroken

Origin is French.. and yes. Marquis de Sade's writings are worldwide and so is the term.

The way you used it is also used in French, as cruel. It doesn't have to be related directly to the sexual practices, but that is where it comes from.

[labgoat]

Now I woooonder who they were talking about about skaters with bodyguards? (No I don't wonder at all.)

I missed this - how sad that they would be needed

 

[elektra blue]

i'm predicting a Wakanda forever program

 

[labgoat]

i'm predicting a Wakanda forever program

I like the hair, the cut of that dress and even the leggings. Very pretty!
