Senior Ladies' Free Skate

Bebe wasn't bad. I hope that's enough to finally get her to Worlds. She's not consistent at all, but I'd like to see her get a chance at Worlds.

A couple of minor bobbles, but Bebe did great!!

 

[R.D.]

Two "popped" jumps from BeBe but otherwise fine.

Sure!!

Caroline hit really great. The only knock is that she skates very slow. Double axel from a standstill. lol

 

[Wrlmy]

I was not worried about Caroline, and for good reason!

ok, carolinefan will do the pbp - i'll say: Standing O for OO.....yes, she's slow and needs power, and might have some edge deductions....but talk about etheral; talk about capturing a mood, commanding attention, inspiring awe....just lovely lovely lovely. truly, I do believe Mirai has better strength/power and basics, but Caroline just commanded attention with sheer beauty like few others. her coach is crying.

Caroline - ave maria - light blue sleeveless dress. she looks truly happy

commentators say she carries herself well; plays violin and understands nuances of music despite young age; that she moves with joy; (waiting for scores, showing next group)....scores: 119.67 a pb.... now in first place.

Wow, this wonderful program with no jump mistakes and great spins and elegance will not be enough to medal at US Nationals. So sad!!!!

 

[emma]

warm up.....kimmie has another new dress (red for the short strappless, light pick for the long, also strapless. she looks good. but whatever happened to sleeves, seriously?)

 

[fratboy96]

You guys are doing a great job on the pbp/commentary. Thanks a bunch!

 

[bronxgirl]

I was just so happy to see Caroline's joy return to her face, and the weight of the pressure off :thumbsup:

 

[carolinefan177]

119 does seem a little low for Caroline though considering that she got 114 with a fall and downgrade at the GPF...and I thought nationals was all about inflation

You never know what can happen. But honestly, she skates really really slow and her jumps are little... two with wrong edge deductions. So if she doesn't medal, I'm sure she'll still be proud of how she skated and will go back home and work on things.

She is in a competition with Joannie for the best triceps.

Caroline just skated a program for the ages. That was breathtaking in every respect. In my opinion she was not slow. Let's acknowledge what she just did. This kid has an amazing future ahead of her and plus, she's a fighter like Michelle.
