2014 Cup of China Ladies Short Program 11/07

[OS]

And people said Edmunds will beat Lipnitskaia :no:

In their dreams. Bit disappointed she didn't go for the 3lz3t, but 69 for that, she doesn't need it.

 

[Kittosuni]

the competition was like, Russia and others

 

[Alba]

And Yulia says to Liza 'Would you like a spot at Worlds? Very good, but not mine.'

Liza laid down the gauntlet. And Julia responded in kind. Thank god something exciting happened.

:agree::yes: Very happy for Liza, but I'm more happy for the beautiful Yulia.

This has been a good day. I&Z and now Yulia made my day.

 

[alebi]

I'm relieved by Yulia's situation (I didn't know what to think till the beginning of the competition). But I feel like the gap with Liza is a bit too high today. I mean, I haven't seen the best Yulia (it's obvious if we think of all the things that happened this season), I'm sure she can sell better the program, while Liza is showing she's on fire right now.

 

[begin]

Has Yulia talked about the interpretation of her program? It looks like she's portraying a child again and I don't know how I feel about her getting comfortable with that. Most seniors are eager to shake out of those roles.

 

[Jaana]

Yulia´s dress is nice, but her interpretation of the music kind of blah. LOL, but so was the music blah..... I would have put Liza first, oh but how I´m missing Kostner and her glide in Liza´skating....

 

[satine]

Scoresheets are up.

 

[juuryokunashi]

Now going to watch the 2nd group's SP on TV -- thankful for the streams, but yeah, TV HD quality yeaaay (also, Kanako really looks gorgeous in her dress!)

 

[karne]

Liza only lost a level to Yulia on one spin - the layback.

Yulia's jump GOEs being anywhere near Liza's is a joke.

Yes...she is playing someone who is in a busy metropolis(song name) who keeps looking home for her original self. Not getting lost along the way. She sets a kite free in the beginning and keeps and eye on it until she pulls it in at the end.

 

[andyjo24]

Polina is so tall, which is worrying me quite a bit. Once she gets over 170 cm (taller than Kostner), she will have more difficulty landing her jumps.

Liza wins on jumps: 21.46 v. 20.42 but Yulia got the non jump elements.

And Sam you were correct about Poilna's step sequence being off earlier -- she only got level 1 for it.

 

[Barb]

My only problem with Yulia´s costume are the color of her tights.
Too bad about Polina but she has a lot of potential, nice posture, perfect timing with music, good jumps, her step seq needs work, but if she lands everything, which I think is probable she will get a really high score.

Should have been a higher difference IMO

 

[oleada]

Really interested to watch both Russian ladies' programs. Some of the comments floating around the internet suggest Yulia may not have rotated the 3-3.

I'd wager Yulia is not happy or comfortable with how close Liza and her perfect jumps are.

I don't think Julia's 3T3T was UR, and I'm usually really nitpicky with jumps. The 2A was very small though - no comparison with Liza.

 

[EdgeCall]

No Lutz in Yulia's program, that's worrysome, though. She will be no be competitive in GP or worlds without it. Were they unable to to do something about her edge problem?

 

[adelia]

Similar GOE on Yulia and Liza's 3T+3T. Which is laughable.

Maybe they're working on the edge and it's not as consistent as it was? Or maybe they just took it out of the short ot avoid an edge call?

 

[Alba]

Ok. Good day everybody.
I'm off this thread. The toxic it's on it's way.
