2024 Cup of China Women's Short Program: Mone, Mone, Mone

[tony]

Einaudi came out with a new Experience: Reimagined piece a few months ago that I'm learning on piano now.. expect that to make it's way through skating. And he has a brand new piece called Pathos which I think will also end up very popular.

 

[Karen-W]

Ooooo - obvious warhorse???

 

[MacMadame]

Zhu

second 3T looked? short

Pleasant, not much choreography. I know all the drama was settled shortly after the Olympic but I'm surprised she's still at it for China.

So ... she could be skating to anything??

Also Maddie is skating to music from a musical so we can mark that off too.

 

[tony]

3Lutz looked short to me

Both skaters crawling into the jumps and slow across the ice.

 

[MacMadame]

Ooooo - obvious warhorse???

I was thinking that but I wasn't sure. Let's count it

 

[leilaofpaper]

Which costume from the RD or this first group of women are you nixing?

I missed the RD so I’ll wait for the second group of women to make a decision

Both skaters crawling into the jumps and slow across the ice

This is my observation as well, especially this double axel that just happened right now

 

[Kateri]

What happened to Hongyi's jumps, the huge delay is killing her. Happy for Zhu Yi though!

 

[tony]

2A was way short too

 

[MacMadame]

What should we have for free space?

 

[tony]

Wow, that is Chengjiang Li!

One of the best Star Wars

 

[Karen-W]

I know it isn't a cutout and we already have it, but the nude illusion fabric on Hongyi's side-boob is just a bit much for me.

 

[Karen-W]

What should we have for free space?

Let's go back to Heart Hands.

 

[MacMadame]

Wow, that is Chengjiang Li!

One of the best Star Wars

I remember him! I saw him at the Olympics in 2002. (In person)

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - Mark's mentioning how scratchy Minchae's blades were going into that 2a.

LOL - Mark's mentioning how scratchy Minchae's blades were going into that 2a.

He was talking about the scratching on the landing

 

[Karen-W]

Nini has nude gloves!

And that's my second bingo - I'm getting rid of GuigFab's RD costumes.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Where is everybody? What time is it in the states.

 

[Karen-W]

Where is everybody? What time is it in the states.

Not quite 4am ET/1am PT.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Getting time to add this song to the Warhorse list

 

[MacMadame]

I think that counts as 2nd half bonus from Mark

 

[tony]

All three Chinese women telegraph their jumping passes to the extreme. An has a little more choreography and flourishes going on but this is pretty empty as well.

 

[Karen-W]

Talk about expressionless. Nini gave us nothing during that program.

 

[skatfan]

Not quite 4am ET/1am PT.

Yep, pretty sleepy. I’m here but may take the iPad to bed soon.

 

[tony]

This color combo is just perfect in my book. That blue shade is my absolute favorite color.

 

[tony]

I don't think that will count as an attempted entry prior to going into the 2A. Hopefully not at least.

 

[Karen-W]

Rion was really trying hard to give us a fall on a non-element there, lol.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Let’s gear up the Janet Jackson soon

 

[Karen-W]

No lie, Rion is such a breath of fresh air after 4 very dull skaters preceding her.

 

[tony]

Beautiful choreography. Nice program. Skating skills not quite as top-level as most of her teammates, but still very very good.

I have to see the 2A set up in replay because if the intention to jump was there, the jump might get voided out.
