2025 Skate Canada Women's Short Program

[yuumagical]

Okay, that fall was pretty scary, I think I'll take my previous comment back

Ahsun. Beautiful dress and a pretty program. Shame about the 2A, but the rest was good.

 

[labgoat]

Poor girl, you can see how frustrated she is with that skate. I feel her frustration.
Have a good cry tonight and sleep it off and show us your better self tomorrow

 

[Ares]

The 3Lz-3T was so clean and then that scary fall on 2A, I couldn't believe what my eyes saw

 

[jorge2912]

Ahsun SP was very nice , is a pity her 2A

You mean that if you met that fall on the street you'd be more scared than if you met Eteri ?

I don't know.

 

[soccerjc77]

Really ! even more when we don't expect to see her in this women field.

 

[Sai Bon]

Go Ami!!!

 

[CellarDweller]

"I'm Too Sexy" is so timeless and elegant--zero gimmicky factor--so people couldn't help it.

But anyway, good skate for Dupuis.

Oh, just wait until we see Piper and Paul skate to "Supermodel (You Better Work)" by RuPaul!

 

[jgg220]

If she and Fusar-Poli have a staredown over ice dance politics at some point this season (which seems possible) I think figure skating will end.

 

[museksk8r]

Let’s go, Ami!

I already have seen it. And I was whelmed. (ETA: Although I love them and Ru.)

And on topic, I also love Nakai and, while this wasn't as good as her previous event's SP, it was still quite good.

 

[museksk8r]

Aww!

 

[CellarDweller]

That was a determined landing on that combo!

 

[labgoat]

Oh dear, hesitation and doubt crept in to wreck the opening axel for Ami. She did not let go of the program and finished strongly and confidently giving Mone an opportunity.

8 Ami NAKAI JPN
SP: "La Strada" by Nino Rota, choreo by David Wilson; Kenji Miyamoto

FSSp4
3Lo
LSp4
StSq4
CCoSp4

SP: 66.55 (1st)

Ahhh, Ami, I worried this would happen, she's always been a bit of a nervy skater. I don't know if I would have put the axel in the short here; it's not always consistent for her and she could win the short here without it. She really disconnected for the first two jump passes, which will hurt her PCS a little bit, but she did well to get a 3T out of the lutz and the loop was as gorgeous as always. She's really lucky to avoid a call on the axel, that would've really hurt her score.

 

[4everchan]

how did Ami manage that combo ? I have no clue

 

[labgoat]

If she (Eteri) and Fusar-Poli have a staredown over ice dance politics at some point this season (which seems possible) I think figure skating will end.

I would like to be a fly on the wall for that one...

 

[FlossieH]

Not the skate Ami wanted, but the second half was really good. She can still get on the podium with a good free.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Joy to watch,but that failed 3A open chances for other skaters to fight her.
Strange that wasn't even close to landing cleanly.
It's the time we start flaming ice?
