Ladies Free Skating - 2013 Trophée Eric Bompard

[FSGMT]

The first bad skate of the season for Christina... Samantha could easily end up in 4th now!!

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

And Christina pops the Salchow. Sigh.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Disaster for Gao, she'll likely drop in the standings. This competition aside, this musc doesn't do her any favors, especially the strong powerful parts.

 

[Shayuki]

Scratch that, she'll be lucky to beat Popova.

 

[caitie]

Oh, Christina.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

....

Gao will probably be behind Lacoste, even.

Love Gao but as well she should with such a poor performance.

 

[badknees]

I love her program. I think she is lovely and the music is great.

 

[James R]

Christina, what are you doing??

Falling and popping jumps. I know why she has a following and I won't say why ... anyway she has never managed to impress me. Win stuff, stop melting down, then I'll care.

[Shayuki]

Double downgrade + fall? Eh...

 

[Mrs. P]

Bad day in the office. Oy.

And the TES ticker is going down.

 

[badknees]

I think her time is yet to come, like Wylie.

 

[FSGMT]

She needs 94.47 to beat Helgesson... Not sure even about this

:disapp:

 

[Matilda]

Poor Christina

I don't think so. Christina has somewhat of an etherreal appearance about her and can fill the music nicely, if you ask me. But those botched jumps ruin it of course.

 

[MK's Winter]

Not Christina's best performance but I give her credit attacking the 3F/3T

Score 94.04

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Gao 152.85 drops to 5th.

GO ADELINA!!!

 

[Shayuki]

She... lost to even Helgesson.

Sigh.

 

[hippomoomin]

It seems that Gao needs to skate a program for a second season to get comfortable with the choreography. Her LP was a disaster at Ondrej Nepela too, so I am not completely surprised.
