2023 World Team Trophy Day 2

[fsfann]

She held it together...not an easy skate, but certainly not a disaster.

Curious to see the jump layout that had been planned... It almost felt like she was a bit lost out there today.

 

[Wyliefan]

Into 6th. She is not happy. Team Canada valiantly trying to keep up the cheers behind her.

 

[On My Own]

Dayum - behind even Gutmann. That's a rough score.

I think it was well deserved.

Nice skate for Lea. Took some time to get her feet under her but she had some really nice jumps - particularly the 2nd triple Lutz.

117.54 = 1st Place

 

[npavel]

Well I really like Levito and cheer for her. I usually prefer a little older skaters, but she won my heart. Well done

 

[MsZem]

Why would a fifteen year old pick this as their music, I'll never understand. But well-skated, I guess?

 

[On My Own]

When did the Russian ban lift for Anna Shcherbakova to be back

 

[npavel]

Dayum - behind even Gutmann. That's a rough score.

She had such a low tes, I would have put here one more down

 

[Wyliefan]

Isabeau is such a lovely skater, weird music notwithstanding. I'm going to cry if her wonky jump technique fails her or, even worse, injuries her.

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - Isabeau knows she's gonna get dinged on that first combo's rotations.

 

[Private Citizen]

Much better skate than Worlds for Isabeau, but no way the 3Lz+3Lo is going to survive review. At least <.

She really has deepened her edges and improved her basic skating so much in the past year.

I don't think it will beat Kim, but it may be close.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Other than jump takeoffs and terrible vocal, Isabeau was lovely.

 

[airgelaal]

I don't see the point in doing 3L-3lo combo and 3T solo

 

[On My Own]

They should be eating hamburgers and have a bald eagle flying around in the K&C just to really emphasise they're American tbh

 

[Karen-W]

Well, not a SB and it didn't beat Yelim, which is only right, but it's nice to see Isabeau so happy in the KnC.

Irina, is that you??

Mesmerizing, spell bounding. So lyrical, and lilting with the music. Everything you could want from a free skate.

143.59 = 1st Place (114.28 at Worlds)

 

[Lacey]

GREAT PERFORMANCE BY LEVITO!!!

Give it a rest, will you? Each of the teams seems to be, happily, embracing their national identities. Or are you blatantly ignoring the Canadian moose and the French beret?

 

[Karen-W]

I adore Kaori, but I'll not miss the wailing and the cacophony of bells that pass for music in this program.

 

[On My Own]

Irina, is that you??

Yes, I'm indeed Irina Shidō. It's why I'm available at this Japanese competition.

 

[Private Citizen]

Kaori was crazy to go for the 3T after the 2A: looked << plus the fall to me. I hope the judges do the right thing and give it to Kim.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Sakamoto seems exhausted. Its been a long season!

 

[On My Own]

I mean, I'm not familiar with France or Canada. And I like American burgers. I never saw a bald eagle though.

Kevin should dress up as the Eiffel Tower next though.

 

[Karen-W]

Kaori's great and all, but that should be behind both Yelim and Isabeau, if the judges and tech panel are doing their jobs correctly.

 

[Wyliefan]

Dear Kaori, please take that music out back and bury it many feet deep.

 

[Karen-W]

I mean, I'm not familiar with France or Canada. And I like American burgers. I never saw a bald eagle though.

Well, more the pity for you. Bald eagles are absolutely grand, majestic birds in the wild.

 

[npavel]

so bad about that fall, but I would have her in first anyway. love every moment of her skate

 

[On My Own]

Well, more the pity for you. Bald eagles are absolutely grand, majestic birds in the wild.

Which is why I wanted to see one in the K&C.

 

[airgelaal]

Hmm... First?
