Rika completely overscored ..I can’t believe
Liza Time!!
Johnny said Liza skates with a liberated sass this season
She really sells it a bit more with each jump! I’m Not sure if I’m a fan of this program or just of Liza but there is a big smile on my face. She’s a bit of a throwback in some of the worst ways but I think she does enough to out skate those things. The jumps are text book and that’s the most important thing so it puts her in s good position. No idea what this will score but I’m looking forward to the KnC
ETA: I just love Mishin
ETAx2: Ooh...podium :yes2:
Liza was too far behind in the short program to move up to second. I do think her LP score should have been higher. If that isn't superior performance/interpretation, what is?
I think this is the correct result in the end. I would have loved Liza to land that triple axel cleanly but she still showed a lot of fight.
I remain sad about Satoko however.
my gawd .. where did Rika grow this consistency?
remember a few years ago her landings were so shaky????
Yeah, I dont know anything about skating but I look at the PCSs for Alina and Liza and just between the two, I thought Liza did much better at selling the program and the artisty....JMTC
Liza is a bit more of a guilty pleasure IMO. I love the girl always but her choreography is not skated to the level of the top two here. It’s just not on the same level. I loved the performance though and think getting bronze here is more than most people thought she’d get. I’m just gonna enjoy that bronze and let the judges do their own thing
I just get the feeling she is not happy....new body, injury, nerves, seeing the up and coming Russian Ladies...I have no idea. I feel for her. Remember how we all were pulling for Pogo a few years ago? It will be very interesting to see what happens over the next two years or so to all the competitors at the GPF and JGPF. Now who wants to create a maxtrix ...no, a x-y graph...of each competitor and how they do through the next Olys....anyone?
aren't you the one that always says: "are you a retired judge? who are you to say that?" i'm asking you the same questions now
