2025 World Championships Women's Short Program

[Paulipau]

That program is just awful for her, bad bad bad

 

[labgoat]

Katya tech score 28 may not be enough it is near the last two qualifiers

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I think it’s deserved. She skated the best she has in a long time and Lee did have the issue with the flip.

Agreed, and it’s not much of a points difference either.

 

[momrk]

That was a tough one

 

[norwegianfairytale]

I think Kurakova might just take the last qualifier, she should be glad the qualifying score isn´t higher.. And last group PCS might help her as well

 

[FlossieH]

Messy start from Kurakova, but good performance as always. She should qualify fine.

 

[Arigato]

Okay, the mute button just got used for the first time on music.

Maddie wants to qualify two girls for the Olympics and I'm hoping she does it that's her and our goal and that Triple Loop was gorgeous really really gorgeous.

 

[Seven Sisters]

That program is just awful for her, bad bad bad

As I watch her in this I always think of how Charlie White looked when he tried to skate to this for their “Latin” program. That was so comical

When Kurakova was about to jump the triple lutz I was ... on my edge, good she salvaged something out of it.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Katya tech score 28 may not be enough it is below the last two qualifiers

She should get higher PCS than them however so

 

[yelyoh]

Kurakova puts on a good show but her tech is just not competitve. It was better in days of yore.

 

[elektra blue]

Katya delivered a little better than usual but still not enough for a nice score

 

[auser]

Fun step sequence from Ekaterina even if the program was not perfect.

 

[yuumagical]

Wow, so proud that Katya has clawed her way back into form!

 

[Ares]

Also how many music cuts do you want Kurakova?

Kurakova - ...

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Kurakova puts on a good show but her tech is just not competitve. It was better in days of yore.

She has had a rough time recently. I heard she is suing a French photographer for claiming to sell topless photos of her.

I think the PCS difference between Alyssa and Wakaba is a matter of taste. The judges probably feel that Alyssa is more emotive. It's just that their individual expressive qualities are different. I would have Wakaba at 73+ and Alyssa between 70 to 71 due to the UR. At the very least, it was a Q. Her boot turned on the ice. It was not 'bam' clean.

Terrible, terrible calls on the jumps. Alyssa was clearly at least a cue on both jumps in her combo, possibly under rotated on the triple toe. Wakaba was the same. That was clearly favoritism, but the calls have been very lenient here at world so far. Calls throughout the season have been far, far more severe. Don't get me wrong, Alyssa's short is on my favorite of the year, but the jumps were not as clean as the Mark's demonstrated, and I don't think this is the best she has skated the rest of the program. I agree, I would have had her at about 70 something

28 PCS is so high. Wow!
