I like this version!

Step Sequence 2
3T+1Eu+2S - just a mess

Just not able to get herself in, and out of the air position quickly enough to land the jumps cleanly.

88.86 = 2nd Place
136.91 = 1st Place

Bless skaters having music intercut that are in totally opposite keys.

Mayindu gets great height in her jumps, just doesn't seem to know how to control her power.

 

[Aceon6]

Not last. Yay,

A French girl in France skating to a french song in English. Make it make sence

I was about to post the same thing. The whole time I was like "I know this song, what is it? what is it? Oh that's right, it's Ne Me Quittes Pas, wait why is a French skater using an English version of this song?"

A French girl in France skating to a french song in English. Make it make sence

I definitely like "ne me quitte pas" better than "if you go away". And I think I'll like the program if she skates it clean, if she skates it clean....

A skater with a history and reputation for < jumps going to Tammy Gambill.

The world just doesn't make sense anymore.

The world just doesn't make sense anymore.

I don’t understand why Americans go to Gambill unless their highest ambition is Junior Worlds. It makes even less sense for international skaters.

 

[Private Citizen]

Flips were in front of me and a clear “e”. Second lutz <. We’ll see if the rotations hold on the rest.

Program is crawling except for the choreo sequence.

True confession: I don’t hate the Titanic score. This is a nice program for her.

 

[tony]

Flip should and usually does get the full 'e' so massive points lost there, Lutz rotation questionable. Second half of the program was really just a lot of stroking to prep for the jumps.

Nicole Bobek's book just came out and it reminds me how she (and Tanja Szewczenko IIRC, @Private Citizen would remember) had Titanic programs that never saw the light of day in 1999.

Much better than the short program.

[honey]

This is the best titanic edit I think I’ve heard.

I do wish someone else with more expression was skating to it though. Isabeau would kill this.

 

[her grace]

Nice skate from You. We’re reaching the expected GP standard

 

[Hedwig]

that is about the blandest program the blandest skater could ever go for. It is almost impressively bland.

 

[peibeck]

Pretty good comeback for You, but this "Titanic" seemed to last almost as long as the movie itself.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Intrusive thoughts during this program:

• There are plenty of iconic costumes from Titanic to play off of, why such a generic dress?
• I wonder how Rose’s husband feels when she’s in heaven with Jack instead of him
• Jack 100% would have ghosted Rose upon landing and debarkment, had there been no iceberg
• No voiceovers :-(
• Remember how there were old ladies that watched Titanic in theaters at least weekly for a year.

Lost about 6 points on reviews.

I wish their fancy new tracker did flag reviews as it went.

 

[tony]

The judges are destroying these PCS scores

 

[thvu]

6s for Composition. Appropriate, but .

 

[tony]

Serna's basics, choreography, posture, and finish are all so much better than Lorine Schild but she needs to deliver big time every time-- and she's not.

That said, quite nice program IMO.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

This program feels like an éternité.

 

[Private Citizen]

Lutz looked flutzy and ur to me. Flip technique seems off / unstable. Gutsy to throw it in again.

I think she’ll get a time violation

Lea Serna

Coach: Michael Huth, Nicole Schott
Music: Hymne a l’amour

3Lz! - off-axis, turn out
3Sq

3Lz!+2T - no flow/speed
1F
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Choreo Sequence
3F+2A+SEQ - Axel was two-footed
Step Sequence 4
Flying Change Foot Combo Spin 4

Her jumps have so much height that often she can't control the landings, and doesn't get the free leg back fast enough to stop from stepping/spinning out.

-1.00 = Time Violation
107.73 = 2nd Place
164.79 = 2nd Place

They got ! calls. Chris is arguing they should be 'e'.

 

[her grace]

I’m not sure how Chris is so positive about this (and many other) skate

Fake Piaf!

I’m with Chris. There’s clear and obvious weight transfer to the inside edge.
