2019 World Team Trophy Ladies FS

[cocotaffy]

No offence to anyone skating, but the best thing so far here is Gabi Papadakis' octopus hat.

Well as I say, Papadanadakis rules She's having the time of her life here.

 

[alchemy void]

Slay Mariah!

 

[npavel]

It says more about the rest of the group than Gabby, tbh.

not really, I wouldn't rewatch Gabby, but Piredda 10 times

2A3T good
3Lo fall
3F2T
2A shaky
3Lz2T2Lo
3F
3Lz
STUNNING Ch sequence which gives me chills

Gorgeous program. Nice recovery after the loop fall. Seriously, I’d be totally fine if she kept this program next season, only with upgraded jump content.

When can we start a cheer thread in the trash can for her?

 

[alchemy void]

OMG awesome K&C from Team USA

 

[npavel]

Sorry Bradie, I can't get your skating. I get distracted all the time. god jumps, that's it

 

[Karen-W]

Great skate from Bradie! Probably the best that FP has been skated all season!

Bradie
R&J

She looks relaxed!

2A
3Lz3T
3F great
2A

I’m not gonna lie: I took my contacts out during the footwork

3Lz3T great!
3Lo2T2Lo
3S

Totally killed it. I want to see this attack and power paired with different choreography next season. Awesome jumping and attack today.

 

[rfisher]

What I've learned about Bradie this season: The woman can be a fierce competitor. She can handle edgy music. Give her something she can sink her teeth into next season. Let the inner warrior out.

 

[umronnie]

I love Kaori, but she has a problem under pressure. We've seen it time an again this year.

Sakamoto
The Piano

3F shaky
2A3T nice recovery!
3Lz shaky, possibly <
3S great
2A3T2T
3F2T
another great CH sequence
3Lo great


The timing was definitely off in the jumps, but she still went clean. Stunning program with a ton of speed and flow—but surprisingly, I would put Bradie ahead in the LP. She was definitely thinking her way through parts of this program today.

Yes, I think Bradie should be ahead of Sakamoto today. We'll see what the judges do with the PCS.

She really can't. I'd have been happy to stay on my feet too.

 

[alchemy void]

SLAY TUK! Redemption please!

 

[rfisher]

OK, that was some very generous scoring. Oh, well. Japan was going to get silver regardless so good for a SB score I guess.

 

[npavel]

this music cats ... But such a gret skate. I love Tuk. And she really should have been at Euros or Worlds. In first now

 

[Hanna]

OMG Liza going wild! This is absolutely the best thing!

Just sneakily adding difficulty here and there.

 

[rfisher]

#stillhere Hell yeah. I love her.

 

[alchemy void]

Tuktamysheva

The Empress Strike Back

 

[cocotaffy]

Bow down to the She was having so much fun too. Great skate.

 

[Kateri]

LIZA!!!

 

[MsZem]

Well that was a statement skate, and that statement was "you should have sent me to Worlds".

(if ever a country needed more than three spots...)

 

[alchemy void]

Toxic striptease from Team RUS in the K&C

 

[Enchanted]

Mishin should really invest a good choreographer. In the middle of the program there was the huge gap when Tuktamysheva was just skating around with no connection to the music. That should sunk her PCS but it won’t happen.

 

[npavel]

omg, that skates. I will be distracted all the time

 

[MsZem]

Silver duct tape on the skates, what a bold and unexpected fashion statement.

 

[npavel]

oh, that fall exactly with the music.

 

[cocotaffy]

It's all right, Mishin's secret weapon is the hypnotizing effect of the gloves on the judges.

 

[Hanna]

Can't believe Russia can afford to keep a 153 FS scoring skater home during Worlds.

That said, both Janny and Alina did very well, so they really don't just have enough spots.
