2015 IceChallenge Ladies SP and FS

[tulosai]

Gooo Miraii!!! Tyler is a nice surprise. Sarafima need to redeem, and Artemieva has a chance!!

Pretty much my feelings exactly! I would love to see Mirai win this but really I am rooting for the entire group

 

[OS]

love the 6 pumpkin head graphics on the score board, and creepy Halloween typface lol. Wonder if we will get something similar today at Skate Canada. Too cute!!

 

[NaVi]

Not liking Serafima's chances considering she fell on her flip(which is her combination jump)... I think the top 3 will remain the top 3 but doubt Tyler Pierce will remain #1.

Poor Sima, really not her year so far :shocked:

I hope maybe her LP costume will change... it's a bit bland to me.

[OS]

I wonder if Serafima should revisit this program in 2 or 3 years time. It is simply too big for her right now.

 

[tulosai]

Well, it is a season's best I really hope that she will be able to get to the root of the issue, or if it's just puberty come through it okay. She truly is a beautiful skater.

 

[RemyRose]

Well with 2 falls, that still an improvement for Sima so I'm happy. She going to find it hard to get a senior grand prix event for next year though

 

[tulosai]

OMG I have been wishing for some lady to do a short program to the zorro music Toth uses at the end of her program for years! I will take what I can get! So hapy this music is finally in a skating program!

 

[tulosai]

Well with 2 falls, that still an improvement for Sima so I'm happy. She going to find it hard to get a senior grand prix event for next year though

Yes she is in a really rough position right now. We'll have to see what happens.

What is going on? Is Jason a commentator now

 

[tulosai]

Wait what is Maria's costume??

 

[OS]

Yeah not obvious FS music.. rather enjoyed that. Not seen her before. Ooo Kulani in the studio.

Oh yes Maria's Chopin shirt is back, more transparent this time? Hmm...oh dear a fall...

 

[tulosai]

What is going on? Is Jason a commentator now

Yes he's been talking! He is so positive about all the skaters it is very nice to see!

Poor Maria, such a strong start and then fell apart a bit. She is a lovely skater.

[tulosai]

For example:

Other guy: What did you think of the outfit?
Jason: It's very... different. IT catching your eye at all is such a positive thing!

Probable truth translation: I hate it, but am still going to find some nice way to talk about it!

 

[silverfoxes]

Oh Jason...you don't have to be so PC, if you don't like it just say so
