Worlds 2024 Women FS: ‘Where Have All The Knitters Gone?’

[Karen-W]

Sooooo... do we know if ANL is okay?

 

[Rukia]

Well, Mone will finish no lower than 8th, so Japan should be good for 3 spots. I can't imagine Kaori falling to 5th behind either of the women behind her currently.

if you have cursed our feminist queen kaori sakamoto i swear

 

[her grace]

Korean 3-spot watch starts now

ISU: Skating is not fluff and makeup, it's a real sport and it's very challenging and athletic.

Also ISU: We feel it is important for you to know that this skater's costume was made by her mommy.

Nina Pinzarrone developed a bloody nose during the program. Most likely, her concentration went out the door when she realized what was happening.

They weren't talking about that Nina. Also, the nosebleed began during warmup before the program.

 

[Badams]

Mark is now fully unintelligible.

I'm just hearing noise at this point. With a grunt here and there.

 

[thvu]

I'm really only interested in Japan keeping 3 spots, and this final group has so much potential, so luckily I can relax for this.

 

[Vagabond]

Mark is now fully unintelligible.

He's Scottish. It comes with the territory.

 

[Wyliefan]

I hope Isabeau's pukeface is as good an omen today as it was yesterday.

 

[tony]

Mark is now fully unintelligible.

I was thinking the same thing, the accent is getting super strong and there have been some rants he's gone on where I pick up maybe every third or fourth word.

I was talking about Niina

 

[Karen-W]

Mark was intelligible enough to let us know that Young didn't have a good practice this morning.

 

[Matryeshka]

I feel like any second now, Mark is going to just fall over--hopefully taking out the French Canadian radio guy and the giant Canadian flag--and Tonia's nerves will get the best of her and she'll just scream HAIRCUTTER and that will be that for commentary.

 

[overedge]

I hope Isabeau's pukeface is as good an omen today as it was yesterday.

From your keyboard to the skategods' ears.

 

[kemc]

it's been a long day they probably just need a reason to stand sometimes lol

My knees certainly do! But there was no one standing anywhere in my vicinity…

 

[leilaofpaper]

This Aussie can understand Mark fine

 

[canbelto]

Isabeau is like the only 17 year old girl who presents herself like an 80 year old lady in church.

 

[Wyliefan]

New dress for Haein?

 

[LilJen]

I just want a threepeat for Kaori.

Still find Isabeau's skating awkward and, I don't know. . . too. . . cultivated??

And I'm not keen to see Loena win with all her clubby armography and zero transitions.

 

[Rukia]

Haein has a new dress?

 

[Karen-W]

New dress for Haein?

No, she's had that all season.

 

[airgelaal]

New dress for Haein?

Haein has a new dress?

Old

 

[Rukia]

No, she's had that all season.

I thought she was wearing that red one before oh well

Patrick Chan YAY. ISU president who won't do anything substantive about abuse in the sport BOOOOOO.

You should meet my 18 year old daughter. She got upset when I told her her style is matronly.

[Karen-W]

I don't think so. I could have sworn I remember her wearing this dress on the GP. But I'm not gonna go look right now.

Sigh, I wish Loena had worn the sparkly silver underskirt costume instead of the catsuit.

 

[Sally1214]

Okay, let's be honest here. Overall, the women's FS has been somewhat underwhelming so far. Questions are: Will this final flight turn us all into cheering maniacs, stumbling over ourselves to find superlatives to describe what we've just witnessed? Will we rise to our feet in endless standing ovations? Will be unable to sleep tonight because we simply can't come down from the "highs?" Could it happen?

 

[airgelaal]

No, she's had that all season.

No, she has one more
