Ladies SP

[Lucky Star]

Russian hope on ice... Go, Alena, we believe in you!!!!!

 

[oxade21]

Precisely. Did you watch the GP oxade? Rachael and Ashley were slaughtered in PCS. If those "stolen" points are now being "gifted" back -- I just can't really feel sad about that.

I watch every GP competition and did not find any slaughtering. I believe Flatt is getting overscored now. And I truly like her as skater. But she should not nowhere near Fumie in PCS.

I love Mao went back to her old dress. It suits Clair de Lune better.

Oppodsite here. I loved the navy blue one.

Good luck to the final group of ladies!

Hey, Alena looks like she went brunette too (and it too looks better...)

 

[Hikaru]

And the reason for that? What is the Russian interest in underscoring Flatt was? Give me more details. You clearly know all behind the curtain happenings.

I was typing via paraphrasing. No need to get all bunched up. My mistake for not having photographic memory.

Warmup is over and I personally didn't see any of the alleged tailing of Yuna. Out of superficiality, I liked Mao's dress change back to her original.

Hikaru, MK is supposed to be doing post-competition commentating I believe.

Leonova's not a bleach blonde anymore....

 

[oxade21]

Leonova is ROCKING the house!!!! Yes.

 

[mystichaze]

Good job Alena!!!

 

[iceminx]

[Wrlmy]

Alene's rookie year going fab!

 

[Medusa]

Leonova is ROCKING the house!!!! Yes.

I want her to have Rachel's score.

 

[figuristka]

Sorry but if Alena does not beat Rachel in the short i may have to complain again. please judges have some sense.

Okay, I could theoretically go through all my posts - but I have never said anything this offensive about Chan. The worst I said is that he is axelless (which he was from time to time), and after the infamous interview I called him a brat. I also don't remember reading anything bad about his skating, except that some people consider it to be boring / flat.

Well when 4CC came around there were comments stating that the Canadian federation is the reason that the skaters are doing so well/Canadian bias and PCS=Patrick Chan Scores. I also remember reading that there was no point in even holding Worlds because Chan was the judges pet and was sure to win. How is commenting on Brian's "pelvic thrusts" so much worse that calling someone a brat, saying they are always overmarked, and calling them a boring skater?

Actually I think you were quite harsh on Patrick several times. You maybe did not use bad expressions, but what you were writing was far too ironic and a bit offensive towards PAtrick IMO.

Back to the topic - Leonova nailed it. She reminds me of Sokolova and Slutskaya a bit.
