I think Schizas will do a clean SP, get over marked, then skate a less strong free, but the SP will help her win at nationals. I am probably cynical, but Skate Canada won’t let a potentially inconsistent lesser known skater be sent to Olympics with a team medal on the line. Timing is on...
She plateaued and then did better last year. But her basics and posture are really behind. Her 11th last year was an excellent result for her. She could make top 10 if many women with better skills crashed and burned (like the SP this year) or don’t show up at a post-Olympics worlds, but I...
I was a bit disappointed as well, because I think she’s so close to making her skating soar. Her basics are excellent - she needs a choreographer who can show off her glide and give her the confidence to command attention on the ice. I’m hoping she works with someone new for the SP.
They picked an incredible looking photo of her for the thumbnail so I clicked to watch. I was disappointed to see her posture and arm carriage problems were still present.
I have to agree the long program dress needs to be changed as it screams wallpaper to me. I like the music but it begs...
Thanks!
I thought the same. I had thought maybe she had missed something, but she didn’t. She seems to have a bit of cult following (in a good way) - skating style makes me think of late 80-early 90s.
Unable to see Sara-Maude Dupuis’s SP as the ISU video cuts off after a few notes. Is it a copyright issue? Can this woman get a break on these broadcasts - first her name (“Dupois”), now her program. (J/k)
In the replay, as Alysa is doing her final spin and ending pose, you can see Tenley Albright, the first American Olympic champion, standing behind her in the audience, cheering her on. I thought that was pretty cool.
Sara-Maude Dupuis’s photo is the thumbnail for the CBC women’s live stream. You continue to impress me, CBC! But agree, we do love Sara-Maude’s skating.
Thanks for the confirmation everyone. How disappointing! I just happen to be home and watching men’s short. Otherwise, I’d be missing it. A lot of us work during daytime! It’s almost like the fact that CBC has rights to the broadcast makes it harder for fans to watch. The competition disappears...
