LADIES FREE Skate

[demarinis5]

Sonia's dress is beautiful, she looks great and skated lovely. Good for her.

 

[Nadine]

yawn, I'm not bothering to watch, but good that she did great. Though I peep in every now & then to see Princess Caroline & Princess Alexandra.

 

[Nadine]

there seems a lot chemistry there when they smile at eachother

That's what I mean, Alissa's big starry eyes staring into Jason's (her own personal "horse whisperer").

And then during practice the way he looks at her. Reminds me of the way that Angelina used to look at Brad when they first got together.

Anyhow, Yuka better watch out! And that's all I have to say about that. Didn't mean to offend anyone. :

This Finnish baby diva.Turkkila, is quite something. A couple of stumbles but "fall" is not in her vocabulary yet. Beautifully packaged too. I hope she continues to develop and stays healthy!

My IN feed is acting up, keeps freezing. I can't tell if any jumps are being landed.

Really lovely girls! I'm enjoying the camera shots, too.

EDIT: It looks like Elena Glebova dyed her hair to match her costume!

Me too. There is a really lovely quality to her skating.

 

[evangeline]

Why are all the Finnish ladies skaters so pretty?

 

[Serious Business]

Juulia needs more range and dynamics in her movement. She stays very upright, with her limbs all closed in most of the time. It's not conducive to expressing oneself through dance.

 

[Nadine]

My IN feed is acting up, keeps freezing. I can't tell if any jumps are being landed.

ditto, I'm having the same problem, but will only get upset if I miss Alissa's program.

Dang it, Alissa, come on, skate your heart out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SKATE YOUR HEART OUT, YOU CAN DO IT, DANG IT!!!!!!

 

[Jammers]

She also needs more speed and power.

Good job by Glebova. Now there's a committed Spartacus program. Lori Nichols, hang your head.

ETA: Turkilla is older than I thought -- 17.

 

[LEESTARR]

Don't think I want to watch Alissa

 

[tulosai]

Don't think I want to watch Alissa

I'm deciding. I''m scared it will be painful.

 

[Jammers]

Don't think I want to watch Alissa

I know how you feel.

.

Hahaha, that exactly what I think.

 

[Serious Business]

Glebova needs more commitment to the performance. The move where she mimed shooting an arrow looked more like a flick of a rubber band. But otherwise, really, very good for this stage of the comp.
