2024 Finlandia Trophy Womens SP PBP - We Are the Whirled

[tony]

Gutmann is in and out of her expression. As I said, she's marginally better than Everhardt. And the judges agree. Her PCS is barely a point higher than Sarah.

Seeing how overscored Sarah is there, what did you expect Lara to get? 8.5s?

Both of them should be behind Matsuike anyways.

Marginally better- no. There's NO attempt by Everhardt, as much as you are pushing for her. One day she will get it. She has absolutely none of it for the time being.

 

[Rukia]

Schild and Grassl should combine their jump techniques and make the world's most chaotic jumps

 

[Braulio]

How on earth is Lorine skating this late in the competition? I wonder how she got this ranking/seed

Oh, please. Rino had a fall. There's no way that she should be ahead of either Lara or Sarah when they both skated clean with no jump rotation issues.

I'm talking about the PCS. How you can get so far off-track from your own reply is really beyond me.

Rino's basics and her program composition are much, much better. And I don't think there's much debating the performance level.

 

[Karen-W]

I'm talking about the PCS. How you can get so far off-track from your own reply is really beyond me.

Well, seeing as the PCS rankings between the three right now are Lara-Rino-Sarah, it wasn't really clear in YOUR response that you were talking about PCS.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Lorine defies gravity on some of those jumps

The 2 top skaters withdrew.

 

[tony]

The program makes no sense for Lorine. She needs to be barreling around the ice, falling out of step sequences, doing lame laybacks and combo spins and spirals like Hubert. Not this snooze.

 

[honey]

I’m still mad that the Eteri girls made it ok to wear tights like this in the senior women’s event.

 

[Sally1214]

Lorine barely hanging onto some of those jumps but level 4s in the spins and footwork sequence, so good for her. I don't understand why some women wear such delicately pretty dresses and then haul their tights down over their boots and make their ankles look chunky and clunky. The combination just doesn't look good to me.

 

[her grace]

Those gloves look very pink in the k-n-c!

 

[Rukia]

oh very elegant pop

 

[MsZem]

We had it so good with tinkly piano muzak and I would like to go back to those days.

Please.

 

[TAHbKA]

And with the current level of the ladies skating with an underotated 3t3t one makes it to the press conf

 

[MacMadame]

Elegant pop?

 

[Karen-W]

Well, Niina will not be improving her NHK score - 1z - invalid element.

 

[her grace]

 

[Karen-W]

Elegant pop?

Definitely - but also an invalid element.

 

[Elisheba]

So we have had " so you want to start a war" and now "soldier keep on marching on" I am into this theme

 

[tony]

Niina is another skater who I think does better with the more weird or modern stuff.

And again I'm going to say how much I like the ranked order of alternates and early-season events coming into play for GP spots. Lara is going to be in the top 3 after the short, and she found out a week ago that she was coming here.

And for that matter, Ahsun Yun will probably be in the final group as well.

 

[MacMadame]

Definitely - but also an invalid element.

We can count both. Elegant pop isn't invalid in the FS so they don't always come together. (That's my logic anyway.)

Also, I'm sad none of these gals has bubble braids

And Sarah also benefitted from her Cranberry Cup win by moving her to the top of the GP alternates list too.

 

[MacMadame]

Frosty coach?

 

[tony]

7.29 across the board

 

[Karen-W]

nails match her costume!

 

[tony]

Camera wanted to go the other way, who knows for what reason mid-combination.

 

[beckab81]

nails match her costume!

Bingo!

 

[MacMadame]

nails match her costume!

BINGO! (I decided to play this time)

 

[honey]

Well the best part about this is her dress unfortunately.
