Ting's skirt is drowning in fabric, and what the mirrors and seafoam green have to do with "Sherlock Holmes" is anyone's guess. Lovely layback spin to close a hit-and-miss program though.

 

[danafan]

Is Ting a Jersey girl from Hoboken? Taiwan seems to get them.

She was born in Taipei City according to her ISU bio. She also trains in Toronto.

Tzu-Han TING
Coach: Kuo-Wen Chen, Joey Russell
Music: Sherlock Holmes (soundtrack)

3Lze+3T< - tight rotation
2A+3T< - no flow/speed
3F - hand down, pick slipped on take off
2A
Fly Camel Spin 4
Choreo Sequence
3F<<+REP - came out well short
3Lo - struggling to hold on to the landing - turned out
3S

Solid skate, but a few errors on the jumps, and the rotations will be reviewed.

101.51 = 1st Place
157.83 = 1st Place

Mary Watson would never wear this dress.

She's probably just skating to the mood of the music rather than telling the story of Sherlock.

Love Pelkonen's dress. Very Korpi like

 

[tony]

It's not often we see skaters pop so many jumps in IJS. This is very Nikodinov of her.

 

[Milan]

Some of these 'wailing' music choices really make the program unwatchable from the outset.

wait, 22 more to go. The night is still young and all that

 

[airgelaal]

Nella showed the variety of her jumps: triple, double, single

Nobody does it like 2009 Worlds Kostner.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

this music selection is a choice

Listen buttercup… I’ll give you a minute to rewrite this post. And I will take the higher road instead of the low road and forgive you.

 

[peibeck]

Pelkonen had a very lovely single loop there. Not sure if it's nerves but she's not using her knees to get into these jumps, it's more like she's just hoping they happen. Sigh.

 

[tony]

Nah, nobody does it like Laetitia Hubert. One mistake to start and then no attempt on trying to rotate a triple the rest of the program, 1998 Olympics. Carolina at least fought through a bit.

Oh, you said it

 

[airgelaal]

At least she lives in the happiest country in the world.

So sad for Nella. Hope she can learn and come fighting for next season.

Happiness Does Not Wait
tell me more, girl, since I live in the most unhappy country in Europe

 

[danafan]

Another beautiful single lutz. Then down on the triple Sigh I was so happy to see Gomez make the free skate here. Let's hope she can finish strong.

 

[tony]

Gomez is really lovely. Enjoying the skating between the jumps.

 

[Wyliefan]

This flight is rough.

 

[peibeck]

I really liked Risa-Gomez' SP, so this is disappointing. Love this deep green color on her though.

 

[Karen-W]

Listen, all... How soon you seem to have forgotten that the first group in the FS is the "we're just happy to have finished top 24 in the SP" group. It will get better. Probably with the next skater, if I'm being honest, lol.
