Ladies LP - actual competition

[Hsuhs]

Cynthia was better -

Frankly, I don't know, I didn't watch till the end. Couldn't.

 

[2-skaters]

Cynthia Phaneuf, CAN

Mission Cleopatra - Asterix/Obelix soundtrack
lovely eyes...

3t-2a strong
3lz great
3lo low landing but ok
2f too bad, came all the way down the ice for it
3s strong
spiral short?
3lz step-out -2t
3t-2t-2lo
exhuberant now!
last spins better than first one. mild traveling though. spins were better in sp

i get that same sense of finding-your-confidence caution as from Czisny, that is a bit off-putting (at least on close-up tv...), but in Cynthia's case i can forgive it more because she still expresses a lot more through the music IMO, and better basics and flow

108.43 -- 169.41 -- 3rd -- bravo!!

but way better than Czosny

 

[screech]

Caroline looks so happy and relaxed. But man, that kick. Why hasn't that been fixed!! I know what I'd have her work on during the summer if I were her coach...

Great skate though.

 

[gourry]

OMG!! Is she gonna beat Mao and get bronze here?!

 

[Wrlmy]

You know what...Caroline might have been our best bet.
Why couldn't she pull of two clean programs at Nats

 

[Luciana]

I don't

Oh I misunderstood your intention.
However, I think Phanueff was much better than Asada

 

[Kimmie Fan]

Ewww, I don't like Rachel's music... all that jangling noise.

I'm looking forward to Caroline's skate. She's either gonna bomb or shock everyone with stellar performance.

She's using her last year's music.

or maybe, just more mild disappointment?

 

[Bruin714]

Wow, Zhang - 7 triples!

How can they keep her off the World Team?!

 

[Lissy]

I didn't expect that from Caroline! It was beautiful!!

I am bored-love her spins but what else is there

 

[Dodhiyel]

Brava Caroline! Exquisite.

When she took the ice, I felt she was going to surprise us.

 

[100yen]

Phaneuf is not on the same level as Asada in choreography, technical elements and unique.

 

[HCOSurfer]

I have a feeling the USFS is kicking themselves for not sending Caroline to worlds after that performance.

 

[Spun Silver]

Oh my gosh, how wonderful for Caroline. That smile!

 

[Luciana]

Frankly, I don't know, I didn't watch till the end. Couldn't.

If you watched Phanueff, you might think she could beat Asada.

 

[casken]

Clean, but sloooooooooooooooooooow for Zhang.

 

[Medusa]

That 3-3 is so downgraded. At least the second part.

But she didn't really seem slow to me today.

Good job.

Highest TES so far for her.

 

[100yen]

If you watched Phanueff, you might think she could beat Asada.

Phaneuf was very stiff throughout the whole performance with a few small hand movements thrown in to try and make it look pretty to me. Oh, and some good jumps.

 

[amateur]

Caroline Zhang, USA

Ave Maria

3f-3t ur
3lz-2t
2a no flow but good, from back spiral
3f
3lo i think ok
3s no flowout but ok
3lo-2t-2lo
nice soft body movement in circ steps
and into layback - very nice

this program is so overly precious it makes me giggle, her with her serene (concentrated) angel face....

*internet problem, missed score*

 

[Wrlmy]

Please don't say "JPN" . Thank you

Thank you. Another poster said "JPN" before, and I was annoyed to the nth degree. Please have modicum of decency.
