2016 Ondrej Nepela Memorial Ladies FS

So Yulia zayaked, fell and had a wobbly spin... hopefully the zayak was a 3Lz-3T-2T and zayaking it explains missing 10 or so points there.

It was on her 2nd 2a combo. And they don't invalidate the entire combo anymore, just the repeated jump...but she had a few UR's as well.

I thought the Zayak penalty doesn't get rid of the entire pass anymore.

The costume is awful

The costume is great. She always looks great in black.

Apart from zayak she almost fell on StSq (or was it choreo seq?), so it wasn't lookin well for her...

Yeah, it made me think that she was injured or something. It was a really strange error. She took a while to get back into the St/ChSq as well.

They might be even more sad when they watch the top three from Tallin Cup. LOL

They have enough own problems, don't you think? This kind of comments are so annoying and inappropriated

No, that costume does not look good.

Her hair looked like a mess too.

I didn't care for the costume either. And I didn't understand the hair part, surely she was meant to look that way? Maybe I'm missing something.

Yulia now listens to music better, and shows more personality.
But spins do not seem to be her strength anymore. Even in the SP, she was traveling a mile in her spins. Maybe she spent too much time on jumps and ignored her spins?

Yulia's music reminded me of this Honda commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u95Zc7AbDM

In the SP she only travelled on the last spin and I think it's because she was rushing because she got behind. Her spins in the SP are better than ever :yes:

 

[SXTN]

Unfortunately the time spent on jumps does not pay off.

I think she was trying to imitate a traditional Asian hairstyle. Part of Kill Bill (the climax of the first movie) was set in Japan. I don't recall seeing that kind of hairstyle in the film though. (But I could be wrong.)

It looks like a leather top that only BA chicks would wear. I haven't seen anything other than this though.

They could learn a thing or two from each other it would seem

Have you seen both? I can't find DaBin's FS. Unfortunately I've seen the SP :hopelessness:

 

[Karpenko]

Argh Yulia, but her skating does look very improved IMO. I hope this costume is a placeholder for a yellow jumpsuit with a black stripe down each side, because talk about awesome. It looked like she was behind the music in her footwork sequence so she aborted the very last part? Still some work to do but she's on track, and she seemed miffed about how much she was beaten by Sotskova. She needs to treat Urmanov like he's Kung Fu master Pai Mei in training and she's Beatrix Kiddo, then she'll be fine.

 

[mrrice]

Holy Cow!!!!! Where did Maria Sotskova come from? Spectacular How is it possible that I've never heard of her. Is she fresh out of Juniors. I don't remember seeing her at Europeans or Worlds. I guess It doesn't really matter but, Wow! I absolutely love her style. Her posture and carriage are sheer perfection!!
