Grand Prix de France 2023 Women FS - “Gone with the Ouiiiiiiiii”

[Hanna]

Nina's presentation has improved, I'm pleased!

She reminds me somehow a bit of Lepistö, maybe it's the stellar shoulders and upper body.

The jump teknik though, meh. Stiff.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed that!

 

[Rukia]

idk maybe I'm just tired but she's skating to some of the most beautiful music ever written and just kind of clomping through it I want moooooooore

 

[Private Citizen]

Perfect from Pinzarrone. Probably not enough to bear Rion, but the top three have little to no room for error with the skates we’ve seen so far.

 

[Primorskaya]

A million times better than her SP! This is great from Nina!
There's something a bit stiff or awkward that bothers me in her way of moving, but that aside, I loved it.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Nina skating great but there is something very stilted in her movements. None of the positions feel like they flow into the next. It's like she hits the position, relaxes, hits the next. I would like to see it all more connected and organic.

Another very nice skate. Pinzarrone really pays attention to the music, had a sense of character, and really finished her movements.

 

[Wyliefan]

I don't remember the wife of Spartacus getting this much fun out of life. Seriously, though, enjoying all the happy skaters here!

She reminds me of Lepisto too!

Program really wasn't anything until the last minute, but well done.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Wow, Belgium is ready for total world domination! With Pinzarrone being relatively inexperienced, I thought there was no way she would be able to keep it together after Sumiyoshi had such a brilliant skate, but she really laid it down!

 

[4rkidz]

Ok I have a new favourite program! I loved that from Nina but I also love the music of Spartacus. What a neat and tidy skater and I loved this choreo who did it? The highlights with the music were lovely especially the spiral sequence.

 

[zigzig]

How is Nina getting relatively huge GOE on such crappy jumps?!!? I will $hi+ a brick if she gets full credit on all these triples.

 

[CassAgain]

Look at Belgium being in the conversation!

We just said the same thing about Belgium lol.

3toe q, 3flip < to me on replay.

Perfect from Pinzarrone. Probably not enough to bear Rion, but the top three have little to no room for error with the skates we’ve seen so far.

If the jumps rotations hold up she should go into the lead - Rion doubled a jump late in her program that gave up the advantage of the quadruple toeloop.

 

[Karen-W]

Pinzarrone - nice enough skating, but my sentiments echo what others have said - not much finish/flow from one element/move to the next.

Where did Nina come from? She hadn't even registered on my radar before this. That was a wonderful skate indeed. This women's event is so exciting...and I wasn't expecting that.

 

[Colonel Green]

And now, Nina waits to see if one of the final three will help her onto the podium.

 

[PRlady]

Hunchback Disney! My favorite not-for-kids movie.

 

[Hanna]

Opening with a clearly ur 2a-3t, not directly on the beat, right on the climax of the music. So disappointing.

 

[zigzig]

WTF - several of Nina's jumps were clearly q. Whose pocket is she in? BS.

 

[Rukia]

I will never understand how Notre Dame de Paris got so popular in skating. No one I know outside of skating has ever heard of it and I just want someone to understand my need to screamsing "daaaanse mon esmereellllddaaa" sometimes

 

[thvu]

4 jumping passes so far and I’d review all 4.

 

[Primorskaya]

And now, Nina waits to see if one of the final three will help her onto the podium.

Which could easily happen...

 

[tony]

Loop twofooted and probably a little short. I think maybe the opening 3T was under, too.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Is this dance remix Hunchback or has that weird underlying beat always been there? I have a sound bar for the computer now so maybe that's why I'm hearing it for the first time.

She was an up-and-comer in Juniors but had an injury last year (or the year before?) and withdrew from some events.

 

[leilaofpaper]

Ah I thought it was hunchback of notre dame at first, someone should skate to the musical soundtrack though it’s gorgeous.

She was out of the GP last year but really made a run at medaling at Euros. I think she was better than Hendrickx there.
