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

[VGThuy]

She has Juliette Binoche hair. Yes it’s just a typical short hair cut, but she’s French so I’ll just call it that.

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

Yeah, she gets nice lift in her jumps and is speedy, but all I can think is how off balance she looks through most of this.

Off-balance is what I’d call her skating style. I remember Jenny Kirk saying you never wanted to share practice ice with her. She was scary to skate with apparently.

 

[VGThuy]

Kierkegard looked miserable in warm-up.

 

[VGThuy]

Is it me or is this pretty enjoyable?

 

[VGThuy]

I figured it out. She skates and dresses like Michelle Kwan.

 

[shan]

Kierkegaard is a lovely skater. Bummer that we lost the picture.

 

[Colonel Green]

@Jeschke doesn't show up to support his former pairs partner Kierkgaard.

 

[VGThuy]

I know. I was enjoying that. I wouldn’t have minded if that happened with any of the previous skaters...

 

[VGThuy]

I just read that she was a skate double for Claire Danes. That’s perfect casting.

 

[VGThuy]

Nice to see Soladtova grew her hair out from 1999.

 

[VGThuy]

She’s skating like she’s in a hurry.

 

[VGThuy]

To think, just two seasons ago, she was a world bronze medalist. Who would have thought from 1999 Worlds that Volchkova would be the third Russian lady by 2002 once Slutskaya came back.

 

[VGThuy]

Chris talking about prerotation! Do they talk about that with Shoma Uno?

The country switch meant she got to go to the Olympics, at least.

 

[VGThuy]

Man that female coach went to the salon and some sort of stylist.

 

[VGThuy]

Group 3!

 

[Colonel Green]

Jumping all over the place chronologically with these rewatches, interesting to see Meier at the beginning after seeing the great end to her career.

And they are rhapsodizing over Fumie. Prophets we are not.

 

[VGThuy]

Just like SLC, Suguri should have been the final group here. She would have given a better show than the skater who edged her out for 6th just like SLC.

 

[VGThuy]

I know it’s considered unlucky, but I don’t think we get enough green dresses in figure skating.

 

[VGThuy]

I’m glad that buzzing sound went away for this group.

 

[Colonel Green]

And they are rhapsodizing over Fumie. Prophets we are not.

Hey, if we ever do one of these for the 2013 Worlds Ladies SP, you'll see that Simon correctly called that Kaetlyn would be World Champion one day!

 

[VGThuy]

Yay!!!! Poor Poor Fumie!

 

[VGThuy]

Finally, a coherent program.

 

[Colonel Green]

Alright, Fumie, only thirteen more seasons to go!

 

[VGThuy]

I’m all late on this, but I realized Malinina’s son uses her last name as opposed to his father’s.

 

[rfisher]

Mr. Sato never ages.

 

[VGThuy]

Chris and Simon are showing how important it is to have a good program and skate it with energy because despite two major errors, Suguri seemed like she was far and away the best we received so far.

 

[VGThuy]

Was Fontana’s leg wrap always that bad?
