Skate America 2025 Women’s Free -Misses Accomplished

[Hanna]

Come on, Lea! I have a soft spot for Hymne de l'amour.

I keep getting distracted by the piece of hair hanging on her face. Hopefully she's not bothered.

Between Serna and Schild the French fed has a choice of bland or blander for the Olympics.

 

[Carolla5501]

LOL at Tara ... you make the choice to pop, you could pull in.

Johnny takes the opposite view.

Gee, which one was World and Olympic Champion?

And they only have this discussion every event because we really all want to hear their opinion. (Said no one ever.)

Is NBC showing the women's FS live right now? Might be time for me to wake the blissfully sleeping cat on my lap and make the move over to the TV.

That was the first time I've ever enjoyed Lea Serna. Loved the dress. That color looked fantastic on her.

 

[Sally1214]

That was actually a better skate for Lea than I was expecting.

Lea got things under control for the most part, and delivered on most of the big elements. The program could still use some more time to really come together, but she has some nice moments towards the end of the program.

115.80 = 1st Place
175.05 = 1st Place

I would love for Serna to find some consistency. I prefer her presentation style over Schild, but at this point Schild will have a higher tech score pretty much every time.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I wish Lea would bring more weird French instead of classy French.

 

[Kateri]

I find this a lovely cover of Hymne, and love that she stuck with the one song, really committing to the expression of it. Sure, it's nothing innovative, but I really enjoyed it.

I also thought it was really nice.

I find Serna about 10 times more interesting than Schild, but unfortunately she's also more inconsistent.

Hi Nicole!

 

[Belsornia]

Ted says Serna doesn’t look thrilled, but does she ever?

 

[peibeck]

I keep getting distracted by the piece of hair hanging on her face. Hopefully she's not bothered.

The loose hair is doing more of the angsty interpretation in this performance than she is.

 

[Vagabond]

Seriously, didn’t they ban dying on the ice sometime in the 90s?

It’s time they bring it back - ever since they allowed sliding everyone’s trying to be dramatik and get away with it

IIRC, the ban was implemented under 6.0. How could it be (or is it) enforced under COP?

The rule used to be that if your knee(s) touched the ice, it counted as a fall so no one did sliding moves. They changed that a few years back and now everyone does them.

Is there a sport in the history of time that has changed the rules more than figure skating?

Can't someone give this woman some french braids or something?

 

[Wyliefan]

I like a good Wonder Woman program, and it's a great choice for Wakaba. Want to see her give it more oomph, though.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wakaba……

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Wakaba has really stayed one year too long.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh, this is not the skate Wakaba wanted to have ....or I wanted her to have.

 

[Aceon6]

I’m sure Wakaba wants to go out on better terms. Injuries suck!

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Higuchi's jumps needed to hitch a ride on Wonder Woman's invisible plane.

 

[PRlady]

Poor Wakaba. I love her but she shouldn’t be skating. Given Yoshida’s misses and Aoki’s jumps, I guess that third sport will go to one of the 3 Rs - Rinka, Rino or Rion.

 

[peibeck]

So sad Wakaba is again injured in this season. No Milano for her, but I'll always cherish her Lion King at the last O games.

 

[tony]

I love Wakaba

 

[beckab81]

Wakaba

 

[Vagabond]

Sigh.

American Football.
