Ladies - Short Program

[evangeline]

Rachael doubles her 3Lz.....

 

[Blades of Passion]

Bye Bye Rachael.

 

[Mrs. P]

Did Rach just double her solo triple?


ETA: You all beat me to it. Bummer.

 

[Mirunna]

I miss Mirai

 

[JeffyJosephNCA]

Uh-oh Rachael doubled her Lutz

 

[skatingfan04]

Rachel is quite dynamic in her movement. I'm really impressed!

SB: 62.23

3F+2T - ok, but has she abandoned the 3-3?
2Lz - this is going to cost
FCSp
LSp
2A
SlSt - lots of energi, but frantic - audience is quiet
CCoSp

 

[Layfan]

Did Rachael double he flip?? Oh no...

 

[Marrymeyunakim]

Great performance from Rachael. I just love her SP to death. I don't care about the arm flapping and the frantic step sequence. To me they scream unbridled passion.

Shame about the 2Lz, she left around 4 points off the table with that. Nevermind, still a great performance. Should score around 58-59.

I wouldn't have given Kiira a 55, but I guess she does have very good presentation.

Rachael just took herself out of contention with that doubled lutz. sigh.

 

[christinaskater]

Sad for the sole triple! But Rachael sold it!

 

[kiz_4Ever]

she doubled the lutz...but this program is really gorgeous! loved the ina before steps

 

[loop9497]

Aw, I'm sad Rachael doubled the Lutz. And I don't think she seemed as "free" with the program today as she was at Nationals. It started to come alive near the end, though.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

I decided I'd rather listen to Rachel skate "East of Eden" then watch it. Lovely music.

Did Rachael double he flip?? Oh no...

lutz.

Why do girls cross their legs? it's bad for their spine.

 

[Oreo]

I dunno with that bright yellow dress and all that arm flapping and head tossing reminds me of a canary trying to break free from its cage.

 

[Spun Silver]

Somehow this program felt a little deflated today, even before the doubled lutz.

It's very unlikely she'd ever get the 3-3 landed, not to mention ratified. It's a good decision to save it for the LP if she's doing it at all.

You are right on!!
