Ladies - LP

[Mirunna]

I believe that trying to correct her edge for the lutz, affected her flip. She failed to land a single flip both at JO and here. I'm so sad for her right now. I wish the media won't be cruel to her and give her some credit for what she is trying

 

[Morning Glory]

Yes, Mao is out of the Final. :disapp:

It may be good for her. She needs time.

Anyway, her dress is really beautiful, and I like this program.

 

[PolymerBob]

2nd group is on the ice.
Maybe they should have done a zamboni break or something.

 

[Nadia01]

Mao basically popped or fell on all her jumps except 3S which looked UR / double-footed to me, and 3Lo which looked okay.

It was soooo painful to watch.

And Sato didn't look all that supportive. Gave her the guards then turned away.

 

[treeloving]

Poor Mao

Please don't give up!

Caro K looking sharp in yet another lovely costume. Good taste. Doesn't a famous Italian designer make her costumes?

 

[PolymerBob]

Caroline missed 2 jumps, but her flexibility looks better.

She used to have Cavalli doing her costumes (from 2005/2006), but this year she changed to Iceberg, another brand

 

[raress]

Caroline Z looks like i truck!..she got fat..

 

[dlgpffps]

Not a good showing from Caro Z.
TES 36.11
PCS 47.04
Total: 83.15

133.86, now second.

Yikes, not a great night.

 

[Nadia01]

Kiira made 3 jump errors that I noticed (provided that she didn't get UR on anything)

She doesn't look thrilled.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Well, her overall score is well below what she got at Finlandia and the other B comp she did earlier this season (Nebelhorn?)

 

[lycan]

what's up with the ladies this season? not a good start!

 

[oleada]

All these girls are fighting for last place.

 

[mishieru07]

This is such a repeat of the trainwreck that was 2010 Worlds.

 

[Krislite]

And I thought Worlds 2010 was an anti-climactic let-down after the Olympics. I hope this whole season doesn't turn out that way. Poor Mao is not ready to compete yet with her work-in-progress technique.

 

[oleada]

Rachael was clean, but less than inspiring.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

I usually don't expect anybody to be at their best at the first GP of the season, but I don't recall TEB last year was this bad, as far as the overall ladies event went. If I didn't know any better, I'd say a bunch of these ladies just aren't ready to compete. A rather long post-Olympic hangover?

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Well, Rachael will get a medal.

2009 TEB was nowhere near this bad. It wasn't a splat-fest at all. The skaters made mistakes but not like this.

Even the ever "consistent" Rachael Flatt had a step-out on a triple lutz.
