Ladies - Long Program
- Thread starter reynycpr
- Start date
Maybe not the best competition in terms of technical elements and clean skates but few ones can bring such emotions as this one has done!
First the comeback of Carolina. Many cannot like her o think that she is overscored (I think not) or whatever but today she delivered a beautiful program even with the fall. She shows that she is in a class of her own right now in europe and finally it is shown in her PCS. I'm proud of her.
But somehow I'm kind of happy that she didn't won because this time sarah deserved the title. When she ended the program I was crying with her even if I was not a so huge fan of her (but I like her). Moments like this are magic for people who are witnessing them. She really deserved it after all the problems she've been through and the fact that this happened at home make it more beautiful.
To whom who have not seen the victory ceremony please see it: it's the more beautiful I've ever seen. The perfect example of sportmanship and friendship that should be always be in athlets and their fans.
Thank you to Sarah, Carolina and Kira for this beautiful moments.

Don't know if this will be geoblocked for you (and the commentary is in Italian,too), but try this: (interviews start around 5:30) chatting with Stephane
The Swiss-German part from what I could understand:
SM: I feel like in a movie. I've always dreamed of this moment...I couldn't believe that it has come true now.
SL: You told me: I'm gonna die...You've been born. You haven't died, you've won! And we're very proud!
SM: (crowd too loud, couldn't understand the beginning)...I really had to control myself, so that all these emotions wouldn't come out already before I'd even started, and I was really so nervous, I said: I think I have to die. But luckily, I've survived.
SL: That's awesome!
So cute how he kept patting her shoulder and rubbing her back

I've always liked her too. I'll just pretend that her LP here was the performance she gave at either 2006 Worlds or 2006 Skate America.

On the whole a disappointing competition. Most of the final group seemed to be scared that they may win. Meier's performance was superb, how she held her nerve when all before her couldn't and in front of her crowd, I do not know. Her delight at her score and the reaction from her and her coach when they realised she how won along with the crowd reaction was unforgettable. Defintiely the moment of the championship for me.
I am glad Kostner did not win but at least she was able to come back and put in a good performance (but not her best) to get on to the podium. Both Evita programmes were way overmarked, Korpi should consider herself very lucky to be on the poduim. Surely both programmes were more that 10 points behind Meier. The big loser in all this was Leonova if she could only have put in a decent programme she would have been on the podium, again I would think that 105 was a bit low in comparsion to the skater around her in the free.
Unless Kostner improves in the next 7/8 weeks I don't see any european lady on the poduim or indeed anywhere near it.

Thanks so much for the link and the translation! Stephane is such a sweetheart here, and it's so great to see Meier rewarded for her hard work, and on home ice.
sarah's victory was a special moment under all these circumstances (injury, poor results the last seasons, goodbye competition) and it wasn't even a gift only because she is swiss and euros were held in switzerland. her only mistake in the whole competition was a single toe after the salchow.
I'm a carolina fan but i told myself that i am going to avoid this sport if she wins this with three falls overall.
perfect moment to end your career. stop talking about worlds, guys.. it won't get any better than this.
i had to fight with tears too. very touching moment after the last group had skated quite poorly

Congratulations, Sarah! I cried with you at the very moment.
Seriously, I don't think her performance is forgettable at all regardless of all the other situations, injury, retirement and home country.
To me, she has no bad tecnique or bad habit or bad position in her skating and did the best performance that she could. Beautiful!

W/me on Dial Up, it took close to 24hrs for Sarah's LP Performance to load for me, but boy was that wait worth it!!
I've always enjoyed watching Sarah and to see her struggle the last few years has been heart breaking, but what a way for her to end her Career on. That was just so wonderful to watch and her reaction on realizing she'd won was joy personified.
Congratulations Sarah and Good Luck on this next stage of your life. You can look back on your skating career w/no regrets whatsoever.
