2019 Four Continents Ladies Free Skate

[yelyoh]

This is so sad and not having been worth waiting up until 1:45 EST for. Bed awaits. Hasta mañana everyone.

really??? thank god I don’t have NBC gold

LOL my roommate up and did the 30 day free trial of Hulu live tv, so I caught the end of the comp on NBC sports (since the Russian stream kept freezing on me.) I definitely prefer the no-commentary feed....

And this is why I don't make a big deal about SP. Often skaters who do well in the SP, feel a lot of pressure and botch their FS. Then skaters that had rough skates like Mai, come back and nail their FS. Mai has had many come from behind moments. What I hope skaters take away tonight is that you have to learn to build the nerves to nail the FS.

this interpreter... omg...
4CC keeps being bad in every possible way...

 

[Hyena]

Gutted for Kaori, her trying to keep up a cheery face and hiding her tears from everyone....Mai is sure the Cinderella girl! Kaori's coaches were talking about how much she climbed
up onto the podium as well in the kiss and cry.

Congrats winners!

Were the coaches talking about how much Mai climbed or how much Kaori climbed?

Now that I'm done with the PbPs, I am just so mad at the scoring and the judges! Bradie got a higher Interpretation Score than Kaori.

 

[WeakAnkles]

And skating wonders why it has lost most of its worldwide audience.

 

[Heleng]

It just wasn’t Kaori’s night, but one thing I love about her is that she wears her heart on her sleeve, happy or sad.

Congratulations to the medalists.

 

[Ichatdelune]

A very dramatic free skate for sure, and let's see... Sakamoto Kaori, Mariah, Haneul, and my darling squirtle... total of four heartbreaks for me. Five if you count Yelim missing her 2A-3T. All my congratulations to the medalists, but this was not the best competition for myself...

I'll be off now, I need to watch ID (I set the alarm but I apparently slept through that as well)

 

[ruffledgrouse]

This freeskate was a master class in how to snatch defeat from the hands of victory :scowl:

 

[lady_bee]

I really wanted Mai to medal, but not this way:sad4:

Kobe girls are my daughters in law. (I have two teen-age boys, and I've already proposed Kaori on behalf of one of them)

 

[hippomoomin]

Who predicted Elizabet on the podium? I have to say being an Eteri "product" is not that bad.

 

[firal]

Were the coaches talking about how much Mai climbed or how much Kaori climbed?

They were talking about Mai once the final standings were shown

 

[brens78]

Wow show Elizabet's fall during her silver medal highlight!

 

[WeakAnkles]

This freeskate was a master class in how to snatch defeat from the hands of victory :scowl:

Easy peasy: ask a panel to "objectively" judge an event.

 

[Hyena]

Ladies is definitely where all the :sad21::hopelessness: is this season. Can't wait for Worlds.

 

[Danny T]

Hmm, feeling conflicted about results ... At least there's another day before men's mess

Regardless, congratulations Rika!

 

[Colonel Green]

Elizabet Tursynbaeva is only the fifth 4CC medalist not from the US, Canada, Japan or China - the others being Tatiana Malinina, Yuna Kim, Denis Ten, and Ryom/Kim.

They were talking about Mai once the final standings were shown

That makes me uncomfortable. Kaori was crying between them, and they were talking about Mai? That conversation couldn't have waited three minutes?
