Ladies Free Skate

[*Sniper*]

Kostner very good. Only popped one jump. She's going to get a medal for sure.

Ah, must she pop at least one jump every time?
Maybe that's planned in her jump layout.

How did Kostner do?!

Kostner did pretty good, a bit shakey but landed the 3flip/3toe . she did popped a jump though.

Carolina Kostner
Dumky Trio
Pink sparkly dress like SP dress

Cmon Carolina! My favorite program of the season...
3F-3T, PERFECT!
3Z-2R is it? Missed the second jump...
1F *sigh*
3R, nice
Combo spin, quite nice, better than SP
2A-3T, her first clean one ever!!
3S, lovely
Flying sit spin, sorta slow but low
Combo spin
Love this SLSS...intiricate but still musical
The crowd is clapping along
Spiral sequence, problem with Biellman position but wonderful edges
Change-foot-sit
2A (I'm assuming she landed it...my feed spazzed) right to climactic end

WONDERFUL performance for her! She has rarely been cleaner...has she ever?

119.07 - 2nd, and 2nd overall with 178.93
She is very happy.

C'mon Caroline....

 

[Wrlmy]

Still, it was a six-triple program!

 

[netnuts]

How did Kostner do?!

119 points in free skate. current. 179 in total, current 2nd place.

 

[ks777]

Hope Caroline skates clean!! I am just so impressed how she can manage her nerves.

 

[R.D.]

Predictable results so far, except one thing...what happened to Meissner???

She bombed.

 

[museksk8r]

I'm thrilled for Kostner . . . FINALLY a respectable LP performance! I've been waiting a long time to see that from her!!

Probably her best LP ever, including when she won her bronze at Worlds.

 

[*Sniper*]

What's happening with CaroZ?
Has she begun???

 

[ks777]

Oh no, Caroline fell .. on the Lutz I think.

 

[R.D.]

She bombed.

what do you mean by "bombed"? Must have been pretty bad because usually she's around 105 or so...10 pts lower...did she fall or stumble multiple times?

Caroline Zhang
Ave Maria
Lovely light blue dress

Lovely angelic facial expression at start
3F-3T, characteristic mule kick but nice otherwise
3(f)Z-2T, same as above
Back spiral into 2A
2A again, clean
Flying sit spin, nice and fast and centered
Combo spin, the rest of her skating is so gentle that her forced-looking jumps are all the more jarring
3F (?), nice!
Spiral slower than Carolina (duh) but steady and beautiful
3R-2T-2Z
3(f)Z, fallout
Circular steps, very lovely if not the most intricate
Her crazy-awesome-layback-pearl-Biellmann
Combo spin to end

Besides that last fallout, that was lovely and well performed. She seems to be gaining more and more quality to her skating as the season goes. She seems quite happy herself.

114.66 in LP and 3rd overall with 176.48.. she should be pleased!

She fell 3 times and only managed 1 clean triple.
