2015 IceChallenge Ladies SP and FS

Love the flashing pumpkins!

Well, Serafima did better than I expected... but..

1. Doing two rippon flips just seems gimmicky... I find what Medvedeva does much less jarring.
2. She should go with 3S+3T+2T as her 3 jump combination. (I've seen her do 3S+3T+3T before... if you wants to stand out do that right after the bonus begins).
3. Unbalanced jump programs(and hers is 2 in 1st half, 5 in 2nd half including all combos) can be bad because they're boring at the beginning... that's not her problem as she has good skating skills and a good performer... her problem is that her jump entries and landings are a very jarring/lack flow and it gets in the way of her performing.

For example:

Other guy: What did you think of the outfit?
Jason: It's very... different. IT catching your eye at all is such a positive thing!

Probable truth translation: I hate it, but am still going to find some nice way to talk about it!

Mind you... i don't think he is the best person to speak about costumes

OOo Maria medals. Gooo Mirai!!!!

OOo Maria medals. Gooo Mirai!!!!

What was Maria's score? I missed it and the results table doesn't work for me at the moment.

Yes Mirai!!! The expressiveness of her body has improved A LOT! I wish a little of the expression would spread to her face before the very end but I understand a lot of her focus this time is probably on going clean/trying to win this.

Overall very pleased with this effort from her!! Gorgeous spiral sequence in particular.

Love Tyler's dress!

 

[tulosai]

I really like this program and packaging a lot. Very nice Charlotte spiral! Really too bad about the falls.

 

[OS]

Love Tyler's dress!

Yeah I like it too.. Funny.. kind of remind me of Yuna's fever dress. It is nice to see so many choose Latin program this year for their FS.
