2015 JGP Riga Cup Ladies FS Aug 28

[NaVi]

Sadly, they haven't fixed Fedichkina's jump popping... or her underrotations when doing the 2A+3T+2T combos.

 

[silverlake22]

A few little bobbles including a fall, but that was better from Amber than I've seen from her in some time and she got the two 3-3s, so not a bad night for her!

Amber reminds me a little bit of Gracie Gold. Well actually, more than a little. She's a very talented and athletic skater with great jumping ability, but somehow, it usually just doesn't all come together in competition for whatever reason. I mean, Gracie was consistent as a junior and somehow made a reputation for herself that will keep her afloat when she underperforms these days so she's always in the mix, I just usually feel a little disappointed when watching both girls in competition.

Amber is capable of being REALLY good. Not just 106 FS and 5th place at a JGP good. It's not just the jumps either, her layback spin has gotten incredibly good now too https://instagram.com/p/3NK3-7SvLP/?taken-by=amberglenniceskater and most of the other aspects of her skating are also solid. Hopefully she figures it out one of these days.

Is she didn't pop those two jumps I bet she'd have won this.

 

[Sophie-Anna]

These two singled jumps...but the rest of it was great. She has great presentation for her age and the Bielmann was beautiful. Hopefully 2nd place.

Sad about the mistake, but still charming. She'll be on the podium I'm sure.

Da Bin's next!!

 

[TheGrandSophy]

What else is 13 for but to wear cats' ears?

That was charming at times; bit bare in others.

 

[adelia]

I did not like this. Her SP was much better.
I love Alisa but I can't say I'm surprised about the mistakes. Rukavitsyn skater.

 

[silverfoxes]

If any of Rukavitsin's skaters ever has 2 clean skates I will faint. Love them anyway.

 

[Kuan]

Fedichkina is a cute girl, but I don´t like her skating. There is to much going on in the choreography, to much hand-acting and head movements. For me less is more

The program became boring due to repetitive music but Alisa is so cute that she still made it watchable. Shame about the pops. Still a very nice debut!

I don't know if Amber reminds me somebody but I like her much better than I did last year. Don't really know the reason of it but I liked it.

Good job Alisa! I thought she would place 2nd though even despite the mistakes... and OMG time for Da Bin!!!

 

[cheerknithanson]

Is she a sleepy kitten? Well, she is very cute and has some ice presence, omg! A lil' star in making?

"Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur....happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr."
