My heart goes out to Paris and 8.5 centuries of French history.
I love that Tuktamysheva is doing ALL the triples!
Liu does 4F. https://youtu.be/ctD2WeKzQwo
The podium is fine, but the 2019 World Ladies LP placement order and scores look cleverly crafted by design.
Yuzuru was just better in the 2019 World SP, and no two revolutions can change that. Nathan's caravan is meh.
There is something very chaotic about the sport right now, which is difficult to watch when skating was an escape for me. Some skaters are doing so well while others are not. Some are too good to retire, but feeling it is their time. Others are rising and falling.
I heard her dad is a big wig, and that is all I have to say about that.
Every time I now watch a Michelle Kwan program from the 1996-97 season I notice the severity of her misaligned right blade.
Liza got a GPF Bronze, like I thought was possible after the Russian Test Skate. I admit I was blindsided by Kihira's rise, but she is earning it.
I bet Mishin never thought he would have two Russian females in the GPF at the same time with a 5 year age gap between them :D ... So much for only being good for building railroads in Siberia ... :P
ESPN did a 30 for 30 on the Miracle On Ice ("Of Miracles and Men"), and, dang, TAT was all over it.
Yuzuru takes the ice, the camera pans to the, almost Russian in stateliness, Oligarch of figure skating, Brian Orser, then his prize pupil puts on a raw powerful dominant performance with ease to an iconic piece from Russian skating.
I am proud of Liza, and I am glad to see figure skating behave like a sport at NHK.
Chill multiple times over from Hanyu's Otonal. I never thought I would feel that from skating again as unknowing admiration evolved to examining protocols and watching slow motion video to check rotations.
Maria was the first. Then there was Johnny. I wanted to hate it, but now Hanyu skated great to Otonal too :)
icky = POTO, yucky = Carmen
Gosh! The podium hug between Liza and Evgenia was so warm :)
I am glad Evgenia came back, and I am glad Liza won :D
Evegnia picked the 3F with a twisted right foot rather than straight. If was fluke error Brian diagnosed in the K&C. It is the type of error Uncle Dick talked about in the 90s.
Y'all are crazy if you don't recognize how special Liza's final SP spin is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hte6_5kZPm8&feature=youtu.be&t=170
I love having my Liza back!
At the end of SA 2018, I am adding Samodurova to the skater I follow.
I liked watching Starr do a camel spin catchfoot then bring it down into a sit position during her combo spin. It is one of the few noteworthy spins I have seen in years.
I was just reminded that Tuktamysheva used overused music in the SP on the way to winning worlds.
I hope the Russian Ladies World Team is Zagitova, Medvedeva, and Tuktamysheva, and I would not mind a Russian sweep :D
I am thinking Zagitova, even with the dreadful music choices will probably rightfully win Worlds. I still hope Tuktamysheva out jumps her :D
Darn! I guess I am going to have to watch Zagitova on mute the whole season, if at all. Team Eteri's obvious tactics are creepy.
I want to see Tuktamysheva and Nagasu battle it out at Worlds, both with ratified 3A.
I just tried to get my free leg in a good layback position. I think it involves my hip internally stabbing my spleen when on one leg or my liver when on the other. -
