Ladies - Short Program

[evangeline]

Ahhhhh CBC feed fail.

 

[Blades of Passion]

Yeah, I thought that was lovely. The step sequence was a little out of place, but she emoted beautifully, and the use of her arms in particular was just gorgeous. I nearly teared up, I won't lie.

"The Mission" is such a seminal piece of music. Miki's interpretation of it is awfully trite to me.

I wish she'd skate to "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" again.

 

[Mirunna]

Alissa 3Lz-2T, not much speed coming out of it, 3F almost a hand down but she saves it, nice 2A. She is holding it together this time

 

[Marrymeyunakim]

Alissa: 3Lz-2t fine, 2a fine, bit tight on the 3F, may have been UR/hand down, will have to watch replay. At least she's not giving it away. Come on, bring it home Alissa.

 

[JeffyJosephNCA]

Alissa 3Lz+2t good, Saves the 3F, 2A good, go Alissa!!

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Yeah, tritto. They cut in on element five.

 

[bibi24]

1st class skate by Alissa. Bravo!!

Alissa CZISNY (USA)

Music: Romance from Violin Concerto in D, op. 35 by Erich W. Korngold
SB: 63.76

3Lz+2T
3F - forward on the landing, but otherwise ok. May get "e"
2A - yes!
FCSp
SlSt
CCoSp - great extension!
LSp - love it

Great performance from Alissa! Finally! I just worry a bit about UR's

 

[skatingfan04]

Alissa seems to be reborn this season. Good for her

 

[Serious Business]

Miki has somehow vastly improved her projection and emoting in that SP starting at the Japanese nationals. But even there and at subsequent competitions, the SP is slightly marred by tiny spin bobbles. But still, such a graceful and moving performance!

Oh dear god aka Yagudin, please don't let Alissa's 3flip get a UR call. Kthanx!

 

[Mrs. P]

Solid- the 3F needed some saving, otherwise, great job. Must be nice after her bad SP in 2009. =)

And the replay shows she was a bit low, but manages to keep her hands off the ice!

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

"The Mission" is such a seminal piece of music. Miki's interpretation of it is awfully trite to me.

Yeah, I could totally be reacting to the music. I don't like Miki at all, so my response was a bit of a surprise.

 

[evangeline]

All skaters need to call up Alissa's costume designer to get the name of that illusion mesh she uses.

 

[aemeraldrainc]

Yeay Alissa!!

What did Irina say about Americans?
I thought I heard something like Americaine loove..
she probably didn't use the word "love" but I definitely heard Americans..
It was after Alissa's spiral...

 

[loop9497]

Very happy with Alissa's performance! Nice.

 

[aniela]

Irina said Miki became a woman, she remember when she was a young girl, she loved smiling and taking autoghaph from famous skaters. She believes that Miki still can do quad salchow, but she don’t want to take the risk. She loved her jumps.

About Czisny: “Look, this is the real American spiral”. She loved Alissa’s spins.

 

[kzarah]

I can't tell you how many Hair Marys I said while Alisia was skating. And what about those spins.

For people having troubles with CBC feed, try http://www.seeon.tv/view/12161/ or http://com.online-television.ru/tv/latvia/313-tv-5.html , both of which are working great for me.

 

[Spun Silver]

All good for Alissa except that stumble out of the jump. She finally shook the Worlds demons. Yay! MM must be happy!

 

[bibi24]

EPIC Alissa smile.
