Belated thanks for last night's videos, sabinfire .
Hope you don't mind that I posted links for them in the videos thread.

You're welcome, and that's fine.

Tiffany Yim is skating to music from Enchanted, for those interested in the Disney music thread in the Edge. I got all excited when I recognized the music.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Yes! Tiffany landed the single jump! I was worries after the first fall. This is a cute program, does anyone know what her musi is?

Another fall on the ombo. Interesting standing annonball position in that one spin.

edit: whoops, thanks harmblade

Did Sonia Lafuente WD?

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Nice layback 'One moment in time~'

Fall.

I guess we're going to be getting a lot of these dramatic type ballads now that lyrics are allowed. But she's selling it, good for her.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Go Go Kanako! Is this her permanent costume. Please tell me this is her real costume, I will lover her forever

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Hmm, pop in the first half of the combo

slays the footwork

 

[charmblade]

Looove the step sequence. And the new hair, she looks super cute.

I hope so, that is one of the best costumes I've ever seen. Love love love it.

I have no stream access, but Kana's program sounds cool.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Nice program. Saves the landing on the Axel after popping in the last two passes.

I think she's improved her PS sine last season

You are wonderful!

I have no stream access, but Kana's program sounds cool.

It really was. Tango de Roxanne and she sold the hell out of it. Trouble on the jumps, but the rest of the program was heads and shoulders above what the rest of the ompetators were doing.

 

[Interspectator]

She looks so tentative and unsure going into her jumping elements, but WOW when she gets to the foot work she is on fire! Please do this perfect at least once this year Kanako.

Love Kana's SP ,Sabinfire: folks pay attention to the lyrics while she is doing all those moves. and I bet she has used that dress back design before.
Kana has said in interview that she loves Yuna's step sequence before.
quote"For step sequences, it's Stephane [Lambiel] and Yu-Na Kim,...".

 

[sequinsgalore]

Like with Gracie-her actual name is Grace Elizabeth (Grace E, hence the nickname), but her professional name is Gracie so few people even know that's not her full name!

That's not unusual for US skaters, right? Kimberly "Kimmie" Meissner, Beatrisa "Bebe" Liang, Alexandra "Sasha" Cohen, Christopher "Chris" Knierim. Norwegian (formerly KOR, formerly US) ice dancer Timothy Koleto just made his official ISU name "Tim Koleto" (according to Twitter)

Of course, some keep their official name for ISU purposes, but are informally known as Daniel "Danny" O'Shea, Richard "Ricky" Dornbush, Nathan "Nate" Bartholomay, Zachery "Zach" Donohue and so forth

[charmblade]

Wait, this music seems familiar....
