Nebelhorn Trophy 2013: Sep 25-28 [Oberstdorf, Germany] - Olympic Qualifying Event

Miki's program was a bit empty and she skated slow.

yes but not to the THAT degree....

 

[prettykeys]

Elena is doing really well. Snoozy music, though.

Yes, to THAT degree.

 

[Mrs. P]

Brooklee has moved up at least 5 spots! She will finish 5th at least! Way to step up to the challenge.

Ando was basically walking through the footwork sequence. I thought Cain should have easily beat her on every PCS category.

Good music choice for her, but almost no program or interpretation there. Spins were very slow too.

 

[prettykeys]

Elena has amazing nerves. Rebounds in a relaxed manner from an unfortunate fall on the 2A. Boring FS (SP was much better), but great talent.

Not perfect, but a good skate with lots of attitude! Should win this thing

Score: 65.82+58.70-1.00 = 123.52 (PB) 188.21 (PB), in 1st (out of 34)

Yes, to THAT degree.

The exact same performance, performed later in the season would earn her atleast 20 points more!

 

[gmyers]

Of course low tech score for miki! No 3 combos salchows and toes and one lutz and loop? It's early so she Could improve .

 

[Jammers]

*** 123 points?

 

[bigsisjiejie]

I don't think so....unless she was performing in Japan.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

*** 123 points?

Maybe same judges as for the V/T pairs scoring? :-D Or you think it's too low?

 

[sky_fly20]

hey Elena passed Julia's mark and debut score and she had a fall
that for me is a joke, there is no way Radionova must score above Lipnitskaya in PCS !

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Radionova is a superior skater to Lipnitskaya, especially on PCS.

 

[gmyers]

Nice deserved win score for radionova

 

[Jammers]

So i guess it helps to be 14 and about 70 lbs so you can rotate like a bat out of hell and land jumps that don't have much power behind them.

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

Elena has great personality on the ice. Julia has none.

that's a joke right ?

The power that matters is getting in the rotations before you land and radionova has that so what's the issue?
