Worlds 2025 Women’s Free: “Make Amber Great A-Glenn”

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I wouldn't have guessed The Beatles with this outfit. Why is she wearing a giant pirate belt?

The yellow submarine got hijacked.

 

[floridaice]

I was going to ask if that rather tepid cartwheel was enough to count for gymnastics on ice

It's the thought that counts

 

[Hanna]

PML Chris says the exact opposite about her presentation Oh Chris, trying to be so nice.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Boston loves a cheap trick

Every cartwheel gets a whoaaa.

Some good jumps, and a couple that didn't quite work. Not much to the program aside from the technical elements, and the music was largely secondary to those elements.

101.33 = 5th Place
158.55 = 4th Place

 

[Karen-W]

LMAO - Chris is directly contradicting everyone in this thread about Feigin's improvement or lack thereof! I'm dying!!!!!

 

[Elisheba]

I feel like I've been watching Feigin for at least 10 years by now. A whole decade and the presentation has not improved.

On the positive, the consistency has always been there.

Chris just said there was a massive improvement on presentation. I will have what he is having.

 

[peibeck]

Schild's dress looks better on camera i fear

I think if she tried some makeup it would help. But maybe that's not her thing.

[NinjaTurtles]

B E N O I T’s suit needs tailoring. I’m surprised.

 

[beckab81]

Go Olga!!!!

 

[Karen-W]

I think if she tried some makeup it would help. But maybe that's not her thing.

It wasn't Alysa's thing back in 2021, but then she got to Beijing and the IAM ladies got ahold of her and taught her enough to now, in her comeback, be pretty good with it. That's what Lorine needs - some of the older women on the French team to help guide her.

 

[Jay42]

Did Mikutina's music start with something else playing or was it just the feed doing weird things again?

 

[slicekw]

Is Mikutina as fast in person as she looks on TV?

 

[MacMadame]

I think if she tried some makeup it would help. But maybe that's not her thing.

Even if it's not her thing in real life, the arena lights are brutal so I recommend the skaters think of it as stage makeup.

 

[miffy]

Mikutina shows more character in her opening pose than we got from 4 minutes of Feigin

 

[Hanna]

The impact Queen Aliona has had on this sport.

 

[MacMadame]

elegant pop, btw

 

[just tuned in]

Fun personality, looks like.

 

[Karen-W]

I love Olga's dress.

OMG - I'd forgotten about this WTF dance break!

 

[TAHbKA]

That spin from Mikutina is just brilliant. Finally a skater who skates to the music and not across it!

 

[Hanna]

The evil cackling

I always have a soft spot for Olga. I especially miss the Nocturnal Serenade program.

Her extension

 

[tangerine dream]

Olga is one of those skaters that I always find myself rooting for, she's just so likable!

 

[TAHbKA]

I hope Mikutina keeps that programme for next season. It's great.

 

[Wyliefan]

I was just going to say we need quirky Olga back, and there she is.

Also, I hope all the video screens don't become a fixture at Worlds. It's creepy seeing the skaters "watch" themselves.

 

[Elisheba]

I wish Olga could put it all together. I love her programs.

 

[MacMadame]

That was gutsy. Chris needs to say it shows real courage or character or something.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

It wasn't Alysa's thing back in 2021, but then she got to Beijing and the IAM ladies got ahold of her and taught her enough to now, in her comeback, be pretty good with it. That's what Lorine needs - some of the older women on the French team to help guide her.

Lorine needs French voidiness boot camp.

 

[Sally1214]

Good for Olga to put the 3-jump combo in right after the random fall. She didn't give up. I love the colour of her dress too.

 

[slicekw]

So many likeable skaters in this event today. Is there anyone we can really HATE?
