2025 NHK Trophy Women's Free Skate

[lileychristie]

I actually like this Poor Things program from Sarah, the choreo is interesting and it really suits her. Then again, I'm a sucker for unusual program
Dress could be better, but it's not horrible IMO.

I really wish USA has 4 spots for women because I would love to see how cinephile Twitter react to this program during the Olympics unlike us here they would immediately clock the dress as inspired by the film's costumes, and the choreo as inspired by the story.

 

[TallyT]

i agree on every point...you'll hear from me at the end of the season

I do find these competitions are excellent practice for polishing my waxing eloquent imagery such as it is

Ahsun, keep it together!

 

[Ares]

I actually genuinely like this program for Everhardt. And today unlike in her previous GP I didn't have serious doubts about the rotations

 

[TallyT]

but at least it's something different, in a sea of glitter and sparkles.

Some of us like swimming or even drowning in that sea....

Oh no Rinky please

mixed bag and i'm tired of LesMis.

I have not had much time to watch skating lately and I am not sure if I should have skipped this too.

I hate that she is so good technically,but presentation looks like she is forced to do it instead of wanted to do it...
Like it's always crazy how good Korean school is when it comes to technical part,but choreo is miserable for 80% of skaters... I really need someone like Yelim.

Ahsun. Gorgeous dress and a good program. Shame about the 2 falls, it was still a good skate.

 

[readernick]

Ahsun like Sarah is mostly just a jumper at this point. But, at least Sarah has an interesting, if weird program. This is just......

I miss Yelim so much. She really grew to be such a graceful and present performer before her retitement

Too bad about the second-half jumps - She started so strongly! She has lovely jumping technique and good basics, but I found the program very generic, and she's a weak performer. Honestly, since Yuna, there has been very little performance quality in any of the programs. I don't think that I will remember anything about this performance after the fact, despite all Ahsun's good qualities.

Oh man, shame about those falls

this is just another warhorse

She was my favorite when i started watching skating in 2023 and she is already gone

Ahsun's skate I think was also better than at Skate Canada. Off to a good start with the 3Lz-3T; the first half was very solid, but then there were the two unfortunate falls after the step sequence. She regrouped after that and got the jumps back on track, well done.

 

[lileychristie]

Ahsun started really strong, but the 2 falls are going to hurt. Still a commendable effort, and I think she has improved in her speed and skating skills this season

 

[rinkside_user]

This NHK has been underwhelming across all disciplines imo.
