Ladies Free Program 19:00 pm Eastern Time Saturday, November 21

[R.D.]

A little stumble from Rochette in the warmup...

 

[R.D.]

...and a singled jump from Lepisto.

 

[Scout]

Five bad skates in a row. Please let the second flight rock it.

I wouldn't call Sarah Hecken's skate bad. It wasn't phenomenal, and lacked the harder jumps. But for a skater just out of juniors, with a nice 3-3, I wouldn't qualify her as 'bad'.

 

[yelyoh]

Caroline scored higher as a junior. Except for "skating skills" her scores are mediocre for a junior. So sad.

 

[janetfan]

no, she didn't give up; she just gave up performing

she saves the "performing" for her exhibition skate :scratch:

 

[Phoenix347]

I think Lacoste is going to pass by Suzuki... not a bad skate from her.

 

[sequinsgalore]

Amelie Lacoste

3Lo - shaky landing
3F - bad landing again

SpSq

2Lo
CCoSp
SlSt
2A - ok
FSSp - repeat or did I miss something?

Zhang's program took forever to finish. Her flip/lutz edges are absolutely uncallable.
She's developing into a beautiful woman. It's time she starts to skate like one. And smiling and getting some speed wouldn't kill.

That require Caroline to go back and work on her basics. Speed can be partially developed with conditioning but most of it should be coming from your basics. However, to work on her basics, it almost guarantees that Caroline will lost her jumps.

Say what you want about Carolina Kostner but the source of her speed is from her incredible basics.

77 for Caroline...ouch.

She looked so devastated, and she gave up. Her programs have always been so beautiful and full of charisma...*sad* And the new dress looks too much like a few of her exhibition dresses...

 

[R.D.]

I think Lacoste is going to pass by Suzuki... not a bad skate from her.

I hope so

 

[iceminx]

Laura is such a pretty skater...
*crosses fingers* in advance

 

[Scout]

no combos for Amelie...

 

[R.D.]

Say what you want about Carolina Kostner but the source of her speed is from her incredible basics.

But she has trouble with her jumps as well. Perhaps she can't control them as well...?? Skaters, weigh in...

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Suzuki still in the lead.

 

[wonbinfan86]

77...pure disaster.

Well on the bright side she beat Yuna's world record.... for the short program.

That is true. She has amazing skating skills.

 

[R.D.]

Nope. Suzuki still in 1st.

damn!!

[iceminx]

I like her style better than the other current Canadian women...
(LACOSTE)

 

[Phoenix347]

Nope... Akiko is still safe... here come Phaneuf. I guess all those UR's dinged her cumulatively.
