Grand Prix de France 2023 Women FS - “Gone with the Ouiiiiiiiii”

[Wyliefan]

She stays ahead, barely.

These shots of the flower girls are so cute!

 

[JoannaLouise]

Serna off to a great start - the flip and lutz both had great height!

 

[Colonel Green]

Wow, great start for Lea.

 

[tony]

Serna really is the best by miles as far as France goes. The jumps are really good when she's on, and she's seeming to get more consistent this year.

 

[topaz]

The stream quality is exceptional on Peacock for this event.

 

[airgelaal]

Lea?

 

[Colonel Green]

That's the best I've ever seen her skate, by a mile.

 

[tony]

Up until that final 2Lo, a jumping clinic. Interesting to put all three combos in the second half, but still no signs of a 3+3 for her. I suppose let her keep showing this kind of consistency (which was nowhere to be found her whole career), but making the LP at Worlds could be a task.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Lea had the best skate of her career yet, while still remaining rather unremarkable.

 

[Private Citizen]

Wow, almost a clean skate and clean competition for Serna! Just the problem on the last double loop.

Quality 1990s style jumps with height landed well. If the world is fair, she’ll get high GOEs. Well done! She did what she could do to the best of her ability.

 

[BlueRidge]

good job for Lea, engaging program, nice!

 

[Firedancer]

That is by far, the best I have ever seen her skate

Very nice skate for Lea. Nice to see a French woman deliver on home ice.

122.02 = 1st Place
180.77 = 1st Place

 

[Rukia]

I give Serna points for at least not looking like she'd rather be anywhere else

 

[Wyliefan]

Wow, Lea! That was great!

 

[Hanna]

Nice to see Serna freed from Joubert! She's actually cracking a smile in the K'n'C for once instead of constant look of misery. What a difference!

 

[JoannaLouise]

Wow, that's the best I've seen her skate in years! (Or possibly ever!)

 

[MsZem]

Oberstdorf seems to be working out nicely for Lea

 

[PRlady]

Serna really is the best by miles as far as France goes. The jumps are really good when she's on, and she's seeming to get more consistent this year.

That’s the best I’ve ever seen her skate. Coaching-change magic!

 

[tony]

By the way, she got added to NHK Trophy during the SP yesterday.

 

[Sally1214]

How nice for Lea. She really performed well for her own audience.

 

[skatingguy]

Schild, Lorine
Coach: Malika Tahir
Music: Hell to the Liars

 

[JoannaLouise]

New personal best in the LP by around 5 points!

 

[Primorskaya]

Pseudo-Piaf, thanks you not, Lea.
Music tastes aside, this is the best I've seen her skate, she seems freer and more confident than, well, ever. Coaching change was a good move, it seems.
My VPN conked out mid-skate so I hope I haven't jinxed her though.

 

[PRlady]

Lorine has the cheapest looking costumes. I’m going to assume that’s a funding issue and not a taste issue.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

That's a nice banner of the competition... And I like the colors of the INKARAMI banner, nice black with violet and some white letters...

SOrry, yes, Schild is somewhere around here too. I find the banners to be more exciting.

 

[Colonel Green]

France!

 

[MsZem]

French ladies bringing it! I'm shocked.

(the music is beyond blah)

 

[Lizziebeth]

Lorine has the cheapest looking costumes. I’m going to assume that’s a funding issue and not a taste issue.

Too much going on in that costume, plus the dreaded tights over boots

 

[Rukia]

I thought a song called Hell to the Liars would have more hell and less sad girl wailing
