TONIGHT! - Wednesday, MARCH 25 at 10pm UTC/6pm EST/5pm CT - 2001 Worlds - Ladies Top 18

[VGThuy]

I was wondering if anybody would be interested in watching the top 12 Ladies LP tonight? Like around 6pm EST/5pm Central/10pm UTC? We have videos of the top 12 except Liashenko

 

[shan]

I would watch!

 

[Colonel Green]

Sure, sounds good.

 

[rfisher]

I'm in

 

[jennysk8oboe]

I will likely join after the first hour.

 

[VGThuy]

I'm making the playlist now and I found Liashenko! . . . I just had to scroll down a bit . . .

Let me know if you want me to add another discipline or even competition. Also, if you guys want me to schedule like a small break in-between the first group and the second, I'm open to it.

Also, I found Group 2...should I add them or are two groups of ladiezzz enough?

ETA: Went ahead and added Group 2. Group 1 isn't to be found and I don't really feel like watching it.

Maybe we should all try scoring it in real time...see how it goes...

I'll be picking out my personal Best Trainwreck, Best costume, Most WTF, Most ZZZ in Ladiezzz, etc. and I know you all will too.

[VGThuy]

Starting in 5 mins.

 

[VGThuy]

Nice to see a full arena for Group 2!

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Kierkgaard's dress is very Michelle Kwan except a little greener

 

[VGThuy]

Man, she’s stressing me out.

 

[VGThuy]

J.Ro skating to Irish Symphony.

 

[VGThuy]

She’s just opening out in the landing of her jumps so far giving us some gnarly squat falls.

 

[VGThuy]

How did she get the nickname “top ten” Jen, when she placed outside of the top 10 at Worlds half the time?

 

[Colonel Green]

Hang on, Canadian ladies' skating, Joannie's just a few short years away!

Though Jennifer could take credit here, this went much better than the previous pre-Olympic Worlds for Canadian ladies.

 

[VGThuy]

I can’t wait to see Malinina after seeing her in 1999 so recently. And Soldatova!

 

[VGThuy]

Beautiful triple lutz!

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Who did Malinina marry again? Wasn't it another skater?

 

[VGThuy]

I think I realized that her trademark is that lutz and her hair. Nobody else had hair like her while competing.

 

[VGThuy]

Who did Malinina marry again? Wasn't it another skater?

Yep. Uzbek champion Roman Skorniakov.

[VGThuy]

Whoa, she made that Lutz ending look intentional.

 

[Colonel Green]

British Eurosport claims Germany is very excited about Stadlmüller, but she would never appear at Worlds again. Alas...

 

[rfisher]

I knew I could count on @VGThuy to pick the "right" championship to watch.

 

[shan]

I don't remember Suzanne Stadmuller.

 

[rfisher]

Huth was just a baby

 

[VGThuy]

Hubert! She’s usually entertaining in some way.

 

[rfisher]

I didn't remember that Hubert did the mummy wrap costume before Pechalat.

 

[VGThuy]

Finally some speed! Uncontrolled speed, but speed nonetheless. Did she pick this music because of Gusmeroli’s LP the season prior and this season? French ladies skating must have been been exciting when you had a trio of Bonaly, Hubert, and Gusmeroli...and then Hubert/Gusmeroli.

 

[shan]

Triple toe Triple toe! Followed by a triple loop attempt.

 

[Colonel Green]

Second-half triple-triple is very impressive from Hubert, amidst an otherwise disappointing performance.
