2025 Cup of China Women's Short Program

I think the good thing is that she doesn't look like she is in pain here. The loop mistakes at her last competition looked like an injury problem. This was just rushing the combo.

Well we all love ladies' skating dont we? So if anyone wants more, Bazyluk is up soon... juuuuuust sayiiingggggg

 

[rabidline]

Love the top 3.

Amber had to make a mistake

Those are the doubts that creep in for her. Good thing was that she moved on past the mistake and was selling big time. When she decides to fully trust her own talent she will overcome this final hurdle.

The top three within 74+/- 1. Looking forward to the free!

That was a very good ladies short actually.

Nastya G did skate well, although not as far as the Tech Panel is concerned.

Enjoyed all the skaters but that really grinds my gears.

 

[Jontor]

Everyone over 60 points! I don't think that has ever happened before...

 

[Jontor]

Zagitovian!

Yes, the quality of that did indeed remind me of Zagitova.

 

[TallyT]

Very close at the top... only what, a point in it?

Have to say though there were lovely moments it was (especially the second group) rather... dour.

I agree. She did UR that lutz. But, I don't think it is fair that technical panel woke up in the second group. There were so many uncalled UR in the first group.

Enjoyed watching all the ladies. Tech panel was strict today though

The panel was very lenient actually, at least when it came to rotation. A lot of URs either went uncalled or were just given qs. The only skater that got hammered (rightfully) was Yoshida but her URs were very obvious in real time.

The jumps were a mess today. The fact that there is still no score box is disgrace. This is not an early season Challenger this actual GP here

Poor Denis. HIs Federation should be ashamed of themselves. They basically took away much of his funding and he was forced because of this leave his coach of nearly decade. The result of all this was this skate.

Good skate and beautiful skating. He may have a chance for the Olympics if things go a certain way.

This is the women's SP thread. I think you're maybe posting in the wrong thread lol.

Thank you everyone for PBP! That was enjoyable!

I am THRILLED with the top 3, especially Alysa in first! YAY!

All of the ladies scored 60+?! That is amazing!! Can't wait for the FS! I hope that all of the ladies bring it - especially Alysa and Amber!

I can't wait to watch the replay!

Loop combo always appreciated, good skate from Alyssa though I'm not sure I see much indication of a 3A coming soon.

WAs the loop clean though? It's hard to get good flow. Interesting going back to last year's programs in both sp and fs. I wonder if she will keep the same costumes?

Such a pleasure to watch Alysa skate. And thankfully there were score boxes on the screen for the women's event, considering the men didn't have any.
