Ladies LP - actual competition

[Medusa]

I love Lacoste's dress.

 

[screech]

Wow, go Amelie! Great skate so far! (and as I type this she slips and pops her lutz.)

 

[R.D.]

She beats Alissa though, with less technical content than at National's! I think all that favoritism at National's is being exposed right here.

Perhaps but don't forget the 5 point lead Czisny had on Rachel at the start.

I think she got about the same score here as at Nats (around 107/108 something)...?

Wow, Amelie Lacoste skating really well! So much attack, like she's got nothing to lose. The audience is really cheering her on. Shoot, pops a lutz that never got off the ground, and then hands down on a 3S. (or was it 3R, missed entry)

 

[Wrlmy]

Amelie Lacoste surprisingly good. Wow, Mira has no chance at all.

 

[R.D.]

Wow, Amelie Lacoste skating really well!

...not any more *break*

National's is generally inflated, just differently for different skaters, at least this year. Alissa scored slightly less in the LP at National's than Rachael, and again here. But Alissa's LP here is better (no falls), and Rachael's worse (popped 2S, worse spins).

ETA: just compare the PCS's. Alissa got 3 points more here, whereas at National's she got 8 more or something outrageous like that.

Amelie Lacoste surprisingly good. Wow, Mira has no chance at all.

decent jumps up to flip - no lutz - nice spiral - 2ax fall off edge- she has been plagued with injuries - nice to see her back - reminds me of Joannie

Amelie Lacoste, CAN

flamenco music

3lo-2lo-2lo good - commentator says last 2lo ur on replay
3f good
3s-2t
3lo-2t not as flowy but done
1lz botched takeoff
3s from turns - hand down
step seq a bit slow
2a flipped off landing

she's reasonably pleased - came close to being a great program for her; definitely a step up anyway. Not the flair of Suzuki, but not bad at all. Rather steady performance, though a bit slower toward end. Spins not spectacular, but well-centred. Would be nice to see her pick up some speed as she picks up confidence/experience

96.40 -- 146.18 -- 4th

 

[R.D.]

well whatdya know, Rachel will be 7th at the lowest...

 

[bubbleyum]

Here we go here we go!!!

 

[R.D.]

wow, I forgot about Zhang! She's in this group too, right!

 

[gourry]

Warm up.
Did Fumie change her costume? Wasn't it purple before?

really good placement for what she did - skaters before her did lutz and more - she has quality just not quantity

 

[Medusa]

Look at Lacoste's TES - not even a point lower than Miss Czisny's.

WORD!

Rachael needs a makeover and hopefully her people will work on that in the summer. But for now she's getting the job done. There is always room for improvement for a young skater like her.

 

[demarinis5]

The ladies are looking very, very good in warmup. Good luck to all of
the ladies.

 

[beep_beep]

hey ho, let's go!!!

that dress did nothing for her - and the short program dress is worse
