Ladies - Long Program

[blue_idealist]

Not Amelie's best performance. The Canadians look so tired near the ends of their programs here. I especially noticed it with Shawn compared to usual.

Amelie- strong start then doubled a lutz then doubled a flip. Now a 2T. Get back into it, girl and fast! Oh no, 3S disaster.

Is she Canada's current #2 lady after Cynthia? (excluding Joannie R.)

 

[Spun Silver]

Aah, she doubled several jumps. But overall she has a very competent, confident look on the ice. Again, very unmusical choreography. I hate that.

Listen to Scheherazade mades me miss Yuna more!

Technically, no. Myriane Samson was 2nd at Nationals and Amelie was 3rd, if you go by Nationals. But all things considered, Amelie might really be Canada's #2.

Emelie is doing so well.

Not so much and Never, NEVER EVER finish off a program looking like you blew it! Shows everyone including the judges how disappointed you are.

I agree the Canadians don't look fit here, really dissapointing. Let's see what Cynthia can pull off.

I watched Amelie Lacoste's FS, and I noted she's a strong jumper, the 2A/2A combo. was FAB, and her 3R at the end was equally BIG! :thumbup: Too bad she petered out here & there, like the 3S, looks like she honestly just gave up and sat down.

But good job, good job!

Come on Cynthia..

A good start, then too many mistakes... now it's up to Phaneuf to honour the Canadians ladies

Score: 87.42, total 137.38 and into 2nd

 

[bigsisjiejie]

So far this ladies FS event has been a bit of a mess, way too many programs with stupid mistakes like pops and converting triples to doubles, doubles to singles, etc.
Let's hope Cynthia and the last group change this bad juju.

Lacoste really seemed to run out of gas at the end of that program.

 

[blue_idealist]

Is anyone else having feed problems? It's freezing for me, and I can hear the voice from some other program while Cynthia is skating.

 

[golfisme64]

What bothers me about Cynthia is not that she isn't a good skater, but tried to be too pretty! She is strong and athletic and simply doesn't play to her strengths. Kinda like Rachael Flatt. This was a good skate for her and congrats for a job well done!

 

[blue_idealist]

Of course it's ok now, now that she's done

 

[shusterbutski]

singled a lutz doubled a sal but over all not bad. She ended with a smile so thats good.

 

[kandidy]

I got jammed by justing tv over limit also, now I am trying the pptv

 

[Spun Silver]

Watching the earlier ladies (which I don't usually do) puts Phaneuf into perspective for me. I don't care for her type and it affects my view of her skating, but no question she put in a mostly very solid and polished performance, with a lot more power than any of the ladies we've seen. I wish she'd pluck her eyebrows though, she'd look less mannish. Sorry to be trivial.

Go, Mirai! I'd love for the podium to be Miki, Mao and Mirai, any order is OK by me as long as it reflects the actual skating. But if Rachael brings it, let her be up there!

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Put Cynthia down for a pop and a doubled jump also, but she is getting back into it and the quality of her skating is clearly superior to all the previous competitors. Finishing strongly.
