2025 Cup of China Women's Free Skate

I think Lara is the one who will go to Milan.

 

[Jontor]

I love Anna's power!!

But she needs a plan B. That sequence could have been added later, instead we got that darn +REP.

 

[elektra blue]

You and I can do that too! Leave it to the skaters and their teams and it will be Warhorse Central...

well we're the reformed committee and this is not a democracy, they won't get a say untill we know we can trust them (so never)

Anna, why did you not add combo to the second Lz? Yes, the landing was not bets but it wasn't impossible?

she pulled an Amber

 

[cocteautwin]

I'm not sold by Anna's material this season. Swan lake doesn't work in favour for her stengths. But I love her powerful technique. When she lands those jumps they deserve high GOEs.

 

[bartlebooth]

I don't think that Black Swan is a favourable choice for Anna.
I'd go the late Brezina route, put on some rock and let her go wild (she does anyway).

Poor Anna, you can see she is miserable with that skate and the whole competition.

 

[elektra blue]

Yi jiayoh!

 

[TallyT]

Love the soft shades of seablue and how the cut of the dress enhances it. I like this girl.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Oh no, not a good start for Zhu Yi

 

[cathlen]

Oh no....

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Oh noo

 

[Sabsi]

Oh no terrible start

 

[flanker]

Horror start by Yi Zhu

 

[readernick]

Falls and voiceovers.....I like Zhu's skating but this is not going well.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Three falls in a row! This voiceover…and another bad version of one of my favorite songs. Mute.

 

[TT_Fin]

She looks like she is in pain.

 

[Sabsi]

A lovely program despite the errors, the second half was really beautiful.

Oh noooo . I was so happy for Yi after that great SP, but this was another disaster program for her, just didn't get any pop on the jumps and that cascaded into the rest of the program. She did well to come back in the second half, but there were too many errors at the beginning. Considering her history, that comeback was really impressive The music choice also definitely didn't help; this version of Ghost is... not my favourite.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Poor girl

 

[TallyT]

Oh lord, this FS is turning into a horror show...
