That was an entertaining short. The big surprise for me was Lecavelier, it was a wonderful skate. Medvedeva is the deserved leader but I find the choreo a bit cringey, I don't like the skipping. Very impressed with Daelman, a really strong athletic performance, she definitely deserved a 70+. I didn't like Higuchi's costume, it overpowered the music plus I always think of B/S in SLC with this music so it is never going to compare. She would have scored very big if she did the 3F.

any theories about the men LMAO
Unfortunately the jumps were a mess: 3ltz-3t two footed, maybe even UR, popped the flip into a double, and just a single axel.
The worse is that almost everyone performed clean here.

Can't do it much better than that, really! Glad she was rewarded for it.

I called that when she did it
I can't remember ever seeing a better executed 3T-3T combo.

Wakaba got no credit for her 2F. Same with Gracie, who also got nothing for her popped Axel. Yuka Nagai also got no Axel credit.
Wakaba's 3Lz-3T was the highest scoring jumping pass with 12.53 points. If only she hadn't had problems with her Flip.

Any event with Aliona in it is bound to be good :luv17:

Not sure it will be allowed or not by GS here, but apparently before competitions, athletes tend not to *ahem**ahem* with their other half as it can lead to loss of energy, allegedly. This came up around Wimbledon few years ago, I kid you not.
If the guys are falling then.....yeah, not heeding the cardinal rule I say. :cool14:

Only 6 teams competed there much thanks to the FFSG, but the overall quality is so great.
Aliona is always golden in my heart. Anyway, I hope for great FS performances from all disciplines.

I don't know how I feel about Medvedeva's +3 on a jumping pass from six judges, Gabby sets such a higher bar for the jumps.
While Evgenia's skate was lovely, I really wish her jumps and spins got more scrutiny....
I'm personally really struggling with the last spin...given a level 4, and +2 and +3 GOE across the board...but it was so far from being centred in a box, one wonders if it's even given consideration.... The trail of her edge was so deep and so corkscrewed that it was not only visible when the camera cut away, it was still visible when the next skater was in the early part of her program.

I was kind of underwhelmed by this Ladies Short. CoR was definitely the better competition in my eyes. By Grand Prix Final Medvedeva will hit the 80s. Left me totally cold anyway. Gabrielle Daleman was the only one who was slightly exciting. Mao keeps breaking my heart and watching Gracie Gold implode is just painful for probably even her biggest haters. Sotskova and Higuchi weren't the revelations they were made out to be beforehand either. Really, maybe it was just me but I found this competition totally forgetable, painful to watch - and, that's probably the worst: boring. Urgh. Not looking forward to the LP, to be honest.

I've just realized Wakaba lost 6 points for 3F. She would have been 70+.

Those judges who give 7s for Mao's skating skill, composition and interpretation can be fired.
Those who give Evgenia more than 8.5s can also be fired.
Wakaba deserves higher PCS
Laurine is lucky that she didn't get a UR call on the second jump of her combo
In conclusion, the scoring is still a mess

It's funny that I have to agree, because I was expecting the ladies field to be burning the ice when compared to the field in the men's. But instead, for me, Nathan Chen's jumping passes (damn that double axel) and Ten's comeback basically made it the night for the men's for me.
