2015 Four Continents Practice reports

[yyyskate]

Some Korean fans were criticizing Satoko since the GP. They seem way too preoccupied with speed and height because delicate skating and nuanced choreo seem go unnoticed.

Anyway, a biellman position comparison for Li, Park, Gold, and Miyahara: https://twitter.com/cat_said/status/565383841087782912

and your point? neither of the 2 repo commented on nuanced/delicate choreo/skating, they are mainly about speed (and their disagreement is about that)... And are you sure Korean fans only care about speed and height, because, I think one of Yuna's strength is nuance and delicacy... speed/height is not the opposite of nuance/delicacy. you can have both...

Any news of the Canadian and American pairs?

Here's Denney/Frazier. Looking great! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r67owFgpo6Q

They definitely should work on the death spiral for next season. And SBS jumps (not done in this run through). I love this pair though!

I don't really know, she's mainly known as a coach :think:

Pang and Tong FP practice

Being able to understand the lyrics (the song basically says "I'll always be with you") makes the program even more magical, I can't wait to see it in competition!!

Pang and Tong FP practice

I'm already in love with this program. even without any big tricks! That dual spread eagle at 0:28 is just'heavenly'!!!
I really wish them to win another World title in Shanghai, for one last time and to close their glorious competitive career in front of their home crowd in March! :yay:

i am following figure skating for a year now (thanks yuzuru ), so i dont know much about them but from what i can see they are gonna prove everyone that 4CC and world spot arent wasted on them

these are the things reminds me when I was watching this clip: taiji, drunken fist, playing pipa behind back. Condor heros, hand signs and Yuna's homage of Korea (actually some of the tension highlight note in the beginning perhaps could use some of Yuna's throw arm movement in HoK to make it fuller ).

here is a video about playing pipa behind back

So wish Denis can skate this program well, so that we will have another masterpiece about oriental music/culture/style in figure skating. so rare!!
One of my dream is that, in the future, choreographers (perhaps young skaters from Oriental countries for now) can integrate more and more oriental dance/style/spirit/essence in figure skating.

Don't we all get nervous?

True talk, my nails are already gone!

 

[ice coverage]

deleted ... wrong thread.

 

[SashaJuliaSpins]

And for me sometimes I hyperventilate a LOT enough that I feel lightheaded.

YEP same...I use it as an excuse to stay home.

U sure u all are going to be alright? I love competition with all its annoying stress!

 

[Violet Bliss]

Love D10's and P/T's LPs!

(Please don't take this sentence to someone clueless about figure skating. )

I've made up my mind on lyrics: Keep them for pairs, take them out of singles.

The part where they're both performing spirals, and she drifts away from him... After seeing these clips, I'm a lot less worried about them. Maybe they won't have the stamina for a clean LP at this point, but they still have all their big tricks and should be ready by Worlds.

Any news on how the other Chinese pairs are doing? Will P/Z or S/H try a quad throw?
