2017 JPG Croatia Cup Ladies SP

[Totentanz]

Loke's dress looks like twin sister of Sotskova's Vivaldi dress.

Aww don't feel sad YY.:sad4: I've been scared of her 3F-3T for awhile, she's not really comfortable with it like she is with a 3Lz-3T combo. On a side note, she's gotten so much better at makeup. Toning down the mascara really helped.

At work so cannot comment much but wow. Tarakanova is without a doubt my favorite Junior girl. No doubt.

Pity about Young You but on the other hand, not falling apart after the mistake is great, and a valuable experience under her belt. She did great overall and there's FS to come.

I still don't like Yamashita. BR goes completely over hear head.

 

[Totentanz]

Good luck to Elif and Sylvia!

Have to agree about Mako's BR. She has sort of the same smiley sort of performance for Madame Butterfly too which I don't agree with, but she's appropriately scored lower than Tarakanova on those 3 PCS aspects so I can't really complain.

Young just done her first pancake, not so bad tho

 

[Kara]

One thing I've wondered for girls in ponytails, doesn't the ponytail make rotating harder? Maybe it'd be good for spins to keep the momentum going, but for jumps it seems like unnecessary weight throwing you off your axis.

 

[breadstal]

I thought she did good overall. As Ted said, she didn't break up the performance after the mistake, which is HUGE for her, she kept on going, doing her best. I'm happy for her, I think it was a great start.
Also, can I just say, she grew up so much!!!

She did very well but if she could just put double, that single broke my heart sob And I hoped for medal

 

[matmuh]

Elif's skating improved a lot but her cautious approach into jumps still continues, she was attempting 3Lz 2 years ago i think, wonder whats the issue

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Methinks Nastya and Mako's gap in SS and TR should be considerably larger....

Does singling the toe loop make it invalid? Or just gives it that big COMBO on the protocols.

Hmm... I don't know. I don't think hair weights that much though...

When I used to have long hair I remember hating to put it up into a pony tail because it felt so heavy. Lots of skaters have pony tails like the Japanese skaters, but I don't think they have nearly as much or long hair as Tarakanova or YY do.

My Mum was on the computer, so I couldn't comment. But, I'll try to catch up now.

Two things surprised me about Elif. Firstly, I didn't realise that she was now 19!

Secondly, her score. I would have had her higher than that. No wonder she looked disappointed.

Also liked Loke Xin Yi and thought she would have scored more.

Ugh, I'm also always confused by it The 1T is invalid element but I think they call it as combo, just score 3F. They give you COMBO if both triples are solo.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Well, that was full of energy from Margret!

Penultimate position, but I'll be keeping an eye out for her in the future.

About Tarakanova, I just can't enjoy her performance at all. Her choreo is awful, imo and her jump combinations are a little muscled, although quick. But she is among the best juniors, so I'm not complaining. And I'm very curious to see how her career will unfold, it looks promising!
I'm always betting on her for 1st place, it will be no different with this event.

For me, her SP is the best this season. I like it even more than any senior one so far. The last part with spins is just wow.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Mmmm. Silvia is from New Jersey.

I liked her and Anastasia, so I am glad that they are so close together.

Right, time to restart the computer and switch over to the Senior Men.

But first, all the best to everybody coming up, but particularly to Andrea Montesinos, Elisabetta Leccardi and, of course, Polina Ustinova

Also, as far as i heard, Tarakanova's SP is something about an escape from a nuthouse, so it supposed to be a little messy.

 

[matmuh]

yay, Rika flashback

Only this could be the reason to do that psychotic smile in the end!
