2017 GP NHK Ladies FS

[Lightstar]

The thing with her is:
1. Unpopular opinion but i really don't like the dress, it's just to much
2. Last season it was like when she stepped on the ice i knew she was going to hit, but this season i am always scared to death! I think puberty hit her
3. I would kind of not wondering if olympics are going to be a big surprise for us in the ladies event!

 

[Lissy]

This dress has too much going on. Between the gloves, necklace, sleeves, and back, it makes it very unflattering. Oh and the see-through skirt.

 

[bobbob]

That was not good. My only wish is Caro gets higher PCS than her

 

[schizoanalyst]

Rough skate by Zhenya standards and she seemed out of it, but I like it overall. The music does a lot of work for her artistically though. I hate the facial expressions (the goofy/creepy mix is right out of David Lynch). I admire that she doesn’t break down after mistakes though, that’s the mark of a champion.

 

[moriel]

No more jumps in the first half...too risky

Yeah, jumps in first half dont seem to work well for her, she should backload everything.

 

[breadstal]

I remember commentator saying smth about her ankles yesterday, I hope she's fine.

 

[4everchan]

4EverChan did.

hubba hubba

 

[xeyra]

According to the Italian ESP commentators in their podcast, Zhenya has some ankle ligament issues and has had to scale back on training.

 

[brens78]

OH NOOOOOOOO!!!! I hope this will just be a one off as I GASPED big time with the fall and it threw off the performance, so not like her

 

[college pat]

we just are use to seeing her compete with mistakes. she is human

 

[frida80]

If she has injuries on her legs or ankles are will throw something. How to you break the world's best skater like this!

 

[da96103]

Yikes...note to self stop wishing skaters good luck...this happened to me last week too! :noshake:

You are suppose to say 'merde'.

 

[TT_Fin]

What are those thing on her calves?!

Medicine tapes

 

[anonymoose_au]

She looks a little downhearted after that.

I wonder if this really does leave the door open for someone else to win?! If so NHK will be the upset of the season so far!

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Dayum, that was gutsy... especially the 3-3's in the second half. Should still put up a big number, but I'm so interested to see what Japan will do with her.... one fall = 10.00, so one fall + stepout = 9.75?

 

[moriel]

Ugh, not happy
I was already biting nails waiting for Polina to skate, and now Zhenya wrecked my nerves entirely

 

[yoloaxel]

Oh wow, pretty sure she has some physical problems now. Those tapes on both legs explain a lot. She looked slower than usual and in pain

Amazing that she managed to sneak back that -3T later on in the program, such a fighter.

 

[randomfan]

I think she might be injured...this is quite a shock.

(Watch her score 140+ though...)

 

[Arriba627]

She was favoring one leg in a video that was out today. Ankle problem?

 

[gravy]

She was super tight in the choreography after her mistakes. Sasha spiral was barely held and her 2A is getting pretty consistently messy.
