Skate Canada 2023 Womens FS - Splatatouille

[Jay42]

Canadian viewers, is Mae-Berenice's dangling strap making Kaitlyn Weaver go all nostalgic?

Unknown, it's Kaetlyn Osmond doing the commentary for the Women.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Even the choreography sequence got negative GOE?

 

[honey]

I don’t remember the last time I saw that many red boxes in a row

 

[Rukia]

Well she got some potentially better jumps than yesterday. I hope she's happier with this skate.

 

[tony]

Tentative and breaks all choreography to go into each jump. At one point she was moving better during the Nyah free skate days, but the injury has just wiped out any and all progress she had. JRo slow, step sequence is done with zero ease.

Lutz under, loop under, second Lutz under, a double Lutz that is wobbly. Meh.

Obviously she's having issues getting back to 100%, but weird choices in three Lutz-type jumps, a double flip, etc.

Composition of the program should be low, like in the 4's really.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Not for nothing but this music should be surrendered

 

[Frau Muller]

Wishing well to Mae Berenice. Don’t Surrender!

I’m all for dangly straps! (But then I like literal costumes, cartwheels and man-buns….)

 

[rfisher]

She did surrender. Oh, well. It's amazing that she's back on the ice at all, and I admire her determination.

 

[Karen-W]

I'll tune in briefly on my phone for each of these first few ladies since that doesn't use my mobile hotspot data...

Meite - wearing a skating version of a Pnina Tornai wedding dress, just about the tackiest high-end wedding dress designer one can find watching "Say Yes to the Dress".

 

[Lara]

So much red but better than the SP I thought.

 

[airgelaal]

I like the song but the lyrics aren't very inspiring

Sadly injury has robbed Mae Berenice of the power in her skating.

79.48 = 1st Place
121.13 = 1st Place

 

[Jay42]

MBM was posting a lot last year on social media about getting back into competition shape after her injury for the Olympics but this feels like she's lost progress even from where she was last year when she first returned to competition.

 

[beckab81]

Such a shame to see how much that injury derailed her - I wonder how much longer she'll continue.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh, wait a second why am I still using a VPN to watch the Canada website? I could be doing this on Peacock,

 

[peibeck]

Even by 1990s standards Mae Berenice's program would be empty. But at least she kept fighting. Judges having zero mercy, even on steps though.

 

[Sally1214]

Aw, poor Mae. Rough skate for her again today. A couple of pretty spins at the end though.

She was doing 2A+3T, 3F, 3T individually last season so something is definitely up. A planned 2F and 2Lz because no toe or Sal in sight.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Meite really should have just gone to other internationals or even Challengers before being at a GP event at this shape.

 

[airgelaal]

It's almost midnight and I don't like horror movies.

 

[Sylvia]

Hitchcock time!

 

[quartz]

The back detail on Lara’s dress is pretty. Love the music!

 

[Karen-W]

Lara Naki - same costume as last season, it's pretty enough, but I don't like the program, so not watching.

 

[Frau Muller]

Splatatouille at start for Lara Naki.

 

[genevieve]

So slow into that jump with overhead arms no way it was ever going to happen

I like this program. Don’t understand the tramp stamp on the dress

 

[flyingsit]

Can someone fix Gutmann’s posture? Pleeeaassseeee?

 

[peibeck]

Doing a spiral while there is whirling wind effects is definitely a choice.

 

[marbri]

+5 for the bird attack

 

[tony]

Very standard practice for Gutmann to blow the short and then have a strong free skate. Really phoning it in though. Her posture is not good but I think there's usually more tension to everything.
