Pinzarrone is doing nothing to me. It's kind of unbelievable she's now the second best European lady, and a second one from Belgium. But I think her results are going to be super dependent on the technical panel, as there's zero chance she fully rotates any of her jumps.
Sexy Yoshida
It's kind of incredible that I probably watched her more than once this season, and still have absolutely zero memory as to who that is. But from now she's going to be the Kuku Yoshida, obviously. Her jumping technique is wild There's absolutely zero control, I don't understand how she lands anything. Kind of similar with Sumiyoshi whom I obviously saw as well, and don't have any memory of. Much cleaner technique but very little interest.
I love Loena, and not just because she's an OES who made it big. Her skating is so powerful and she's so sharp (normally). Not in this sp. Everything is slightly off. She looked heavy in her feet. I don't mind her programs btw, it's better than if she was trying to do a Swan Lake or something. She must be a blast at a club after a couple of drinks.
I don't mind Levito, but I don't see anything super special about her. I kind of like her weird programs this season, they are so unhinged it's actually enjoyable. But the ladies field is very weak this season and that's the only reason why this crop of US ladies is featured on the podium. From what I saw, Levito is the better of the bunch, and she'd be the lower half of top 10 at the worlds the last cycle.
Kaori is kind of in a league of her own this(and last) season. But it's a good thing she's already a world champion because her programs this season are just meh - they wouldn't have been a very good way to take the field by storm.
This SP felt very mediocre, but for the ladies' defence, I don't think these are actually the best 6 skaters this season: even though I'm physiologically incapable of differentiating the Korean girls, pretty much all of them are probably the third best lady in the world right now.
