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

[Karen-W]

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.

They had the video screens in the KnC area last year too. Pretty sure they're here to stay.

It was a struggle. Olga brings a different look to her programs, and has a perspective, and that makes her an interesting skater to watch.

Lorine needs French voidiness boot camp.

I think she needs a Pat Benatar program

[Karen-W]

Lorine needs French voidiness boot camp.

She needs something... @taz'smum - maybe Tiffany can connect with her and help teach Lorine how to tiff herself up.

Lorine needs French voidiness boot camp.

Are spectators allowed at French voidiness boot camp?

 

[Sally1214]

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

Nope. Too much hate in the world today. Personally, I save most of my "dislike" for judges who give ridiculous GOE scores from time to time.

 

[Matryeshka]

In my mind, there's a universe where Mikutina was battling it out in the GPF (Championship Series?) with Nikidinov, Slute, Fumie Suguri, Kwan, and Sebestyen. Elena Liashenko and Vanessa Gusmeroli were the alternates. This is how the natural order should have been.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Are spectators allowed at French voidiness boot camp?

With and

 

[Karen-W]

Well, this is an inauspicious start for Julia.

 

[Kateri]

Are spectators allowed at French voidiness boot camp?

No, but if you dress as a mime and pretend to be a chair, everyone will be socially required by the bit to pretend you aren't there.

 

[Vagabond]

C'mon, Julia, put up some more green boxes!

 

[beckab81]

Oh, I just want to give Sauter a hug, hopefully the crowd will be there for her

 

[JoannaLouise]

In spite of all the red boxes on the score tracker, I'm finding Julia very pleasant to watch, and I like this program a lot.

 

[Hanna]

Sauter has such enjoyable basic movement, carriage, speed, everything. Love to watch her!

 

[floridaice]

Props to Julia for skating, it's easy to tell she is sick. She is such a competitor

 

[tangerine dream]

No, but if you dress as a mime and pretend to be a chair, everyone will be socially required by the bit to pretend you aren't there.

I love this so much. If it helps my case, I won't understand a word they're saying, I'll just be there for the vibes.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, goodness... Not a single jumping pass in the green for Julia. Such a shame. She can be quite lovely when she's on.

 

[peibeck]

I like Julia, but... that was ROUGH.

[LilJen]

Julia: Seems to be something funky going on with her reach back for some of the toe-assisted jumps. And in general she gets a TON of air on her jumps but little distance. Still, I really enjoy watching her; she just has a really nice style. Good dresses for both programs this year.

 

[Rukia]

That music was driving me insane because it was too build a home but with a weird beat then rain in your black eyes then back to the funky beat

On Wednesday I had a friend over and the TV had the Women’s SP on and he was asking me about skating, and I explained a bit and then said “and now she’s going to fall” and the skater did and he thought it was magic. But it’s all about how we learn to read body language in this specific instance. Here’s a case where even a novice could see that she’s off from the beginning.

Julia has got some of the loveliest expression while she skates that I’m glad she made it, qualified, and got thru the event.

 

[victorskid]

I like Julia, but... that was ROUGH.

Since she has been ill, I'm impressed that she was able to do as well as she did.

 

[Vagabond]

Chris pronounces Schild as "shields."

 

[LilJen]

"Loreen Shields" on the ice according to Chris.

Her costume is giving me ugly Russian vibes with the long skirt and gloves.

"really trying to pack the content in" with combos that end in a stop (unintended).

Can we PLEASE stop with the heart hands?

 

[Karen-W]

Lorine's another skater with wild technique. How she stays up on some of these jumps...
