2018 Tallinn Trophy Ladies Short Program

[Spirals for Miles]

dang, Daria :sad4:
It's so hard watching her skate now, she looks so sad, and I just want her to be happy with herself and her skate

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Daria Panenkova RUS: 3Lz-3T rip (good), 3F (off axis, UR?, fall), 2A tano (ok), she is fast but without expression
Score 55.83 (3 points deduction??) 6th

 

[leoleo]

Ok Karen time! i don't care how she performs, i'm just happy to have her back

 

[Noxchild]

Daria's alone in the k&c????????

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Okay, now I'm kind of upset - Daria is Tsareva's only elite student who's skating internationally so how come she doesn't even have a coach with her?

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Karen Chen USA: 3Lz(UR)-1T, 2A, 3Lo (UR,fall), nice spins and interpretation
Score 52.93 8th

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ouch. And another ouch. Her jumps are off-axis today...

And of course it's another tango.

 

[Noxchild]

Pity about the jumps and she lacks speed, but good to see Karen back! It's gonna take work and time, but I hope she keeps trucking on :luv17: 4CC or bust!

 

[concorde]

Youch. Poor Karen.

Ting has a great chance to medal at her first senior International if she can keep it together. It would be a great way to go into Nationals. :agree:

I was especially impressed by her upper body movement. Really uses her arms well.

Can anyone explain the 3 point deduction for Daria??? Did her music go a second over the allotted time? Take her position too late? I'm stumped.

Accoding to her protocol
2 pts were time violation + 1 pts for a fall = 3 pts total

Daria may have taken too long to recover from the fall, that probably added enough time for two deductions.

Excuse me for being ignorant, but what was the time violation? Is one violation worth -2 points? Her ending music cut was borderline bizarre, but it still looked like she finished with it. Was it a time violation like what Kwan got at 2004 Worlds, where the tape player slowed the music down enough to end past the limit?
TIA!

Could someone provide a phonetic pronounciation of Ting Cui’s name? I’ve heard it announced multiple different ways.

She probably took too long to take her starting pose (needs to be done in 30 seconds) and then ended late. Minus one point for each would give her -2.

T-eeng Tsway is probably how I would describe it. The "C" in Chinese has its own pronunciation where "Ts" or "Tsz" comes closest but isn't perfect. "Cui" would rhyme with "Sway."

That sounds correct since the 4th place finisher only got a 1 pt deduction for time.

Serafima's jumps are so strong now: in the past 2-3 seasons her 3-3 combos have always been unstable, last season with the question mark on the full rotation on the toe, here the 3f-3t was huge and clean. Good on the levels too, she got level 4 on both spins and stsq.
