2022 CS Lombardia Trophy Women's Free Skate

Wow I didn´t expect Kaori to be that much behind with her SP lead

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Mmmm. Have to be honest. I preferred Rinka.

Kaori looked amazing!!! The new hair-do suits her, and the red dress is gorgeous.

But, the music went weird in the middle, and didn't get any better afterwards.

She made a few mistakes, so maybe that is also affecting how I saw the programme. Maybe I will like it better when she does it clean.

Into 2nd in both FS and overall.

second place for Kaori

I don't know if it's just the weird sound on this stream, but some music cuts this year really sound like attempts on being creative gone very, very wrong ...

Somehow I feel they have travelled back to the early 2000s

They got to cool down with the speed trains in Japan, they travel back in time

and the best pun of the day award goes to...

welp. my predictions are currently getting run over by a flaming zamboni driven by a dinosaur. how's everyone else's doing?

 

[Lynse]

The Japanese girls are setting the challenge! Some really promising women skaters at this event. It will be a fun season!

 

[Jontor]

Behind Rinka. Good. Watanabe was fantastic.

But what a lot of horror music choices the women have! It's ironic that the only good music choice was Gutmann's Hitchcock medley!

Someone really needed to give one word of advice to team Harrell and that word is Turandon't.

I love Nessun Dorma but you either have to GO for it or it falls so flat. The woman singer doesn't help much...

[Dreamer57]

Is Rinka now eligible for senior GP selection?

Before this competition, I thought Kaori would be unbeatable... I was wrong

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Right, over to YouTube to watch the 3 girls I missed, in case it disappears.

But, keeping the sport2u window open in the hope that they show a podium ceremony.

Not well

it's still early in the season, gp girls need a couple of week more of training to be ready

This entire event was a desperate plea for the ISU to once again ban vocal music and encourage skaters to choose classics whether it's Vivaldi, Bernard Herrmann, Max Richter, or even karaoke versions of Madonna singles.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Rinka does not have a GP assignment, however I think she now shoots to the top of the replacement list, and I expect that Rika will WD from her events and be replaced by Rinka. (she's currently only jumping doubles consistently and still very injured)

Is Rinka now eligible for senior GP selection?

Yes, now she is.
