Finlandia Trophy 2025- Women’s Free Skate “ Let’s Finnish Where We Splatted”

[peibeck]

Lisko doubling too many jumps, but this program is nicely constructed.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

There are certain programs that might just work when skated brilliantly at the Olympics in the last group.

Not so much when it's skated with errors first group at Finland GP

 

[Sally1214]

Well, it wasn't the skate Olivia wanted but she's still getting lots of support from her home crowd .... and Mark.

 

[slicekw]

Ok, reasons to love Mark: he talks about her synchro teammates. Lisko may have missed her triples, but she does two sports. She’s got my respect.

Sent 5 minutes closing, restarting only to realize women`s is mislabled as pairs

The way she moves/skates reminds me of Susanna Pöykiö. I really enjoyed the program too.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Wow, Bradie might pull up to 3rd. Would be good for her confidence.

 

[genevieve]

Every FS in that group felt 12 minutes long

 

[Sally1214]

On to the second flight. There could be some real battles here. I wish Maddie could find a way to stay on the podium but the 3 skaters just behind her will be trying their best to have something to say about that. Fingers crossed.

Rino and Rion are still fighting for a GPF berth. Betting on either of them for bronze.

 

[Hanna]

Does Finn fed have published criteria for who gets the spot?

Yeah, it's the one who has the best combined overall score from their two best events this season. Here's the list, it's currently extremely close. https://www.taitoluisteluliitto.fi/maajoukkue/seasonbest/yl-jt-pl-arvokilpailuvalintojen-tilastot/

He's Andrey aka Pushkin, and I like meeting friends, eating food, reading and listing some other yawn inducing description into my biography

 

[slicekw]

Does making the GPF give any more guarantee for the Japanese women to make the Oly team, over, say, someone throwing darts at a board full of folded papers with names on them?

 

[danafan]

How much has Mark jinxed Schizas with these comments...

 

[Firedancer]

Bradie really needs a new dress

 

[Desperado]

How much has Mark jinxed Schizas with these comments...

I have it on mute so maybe it compensates.

I think so, but can’t remember if making the GPF or medaling there is the determinant.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

This is a very educated group of ladies, they all like to read.

 

[ChillSkate]

Amber did 2 beautiful triple axels in the warm up

 

[Desperado]

Looking at Amber's dress, I'm really over naked backs.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Karhunen opened it up a bit, replacing a 173 with a 180.

 

[slicekw]

Is Brady the only woman not wearing either a flower or braided hair crown?

 

[Wyliefan]

I love Rion and her explosion-in-a-Crayola-box costume, don't judge me.

 

[Colonel Green]

I don't know how it is that basically every Japanese lady is so pleasant to watch just skating around, but it's nice for the sport.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I mean we're there times when Nutcracker would induce a groan out of me, but nowadays I'm just happy it's not some techno version with lyrics added to it.

 

[Sally1214]

I love Rion and her explosion-in-a-Crayola-box costume, don't judge me.

No judgment here. I totally agree with you. Great minds and all .....

 

[thvu]

So much of what Rino does just makes me go "wow".

 

[Karen-W]

Well, I dozed off again through the first group of women, but it doesn't look like I missed much. Unfortunately, Rino may put me back to sleep again.

 

[peibeck]

Put on your blinders, tech panel. Rino is gorgeous.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I love all these beautiful held edges from Rino
