2024 4CC - Women Short:”Hey Seoul Sister”

[Kateri]

Is he on-site or in a different time zone

On-site, I think.

He's there - remember Bradie came up to chat before the 2nd group of the RD yesterday.

 

[Skate Talker]

Chris has made several remarks about being rinkside or elsewhere in the arena

Well there goes that theory (lack of sleep from being on the East Coast)

Just tuning in and saw Rakhamo and Kokko in the audience.

Me, "ZOMG, Susanna Rahkamo and Petri Kokko look 60! What happened?"

Quick online searching. Time happened. Susanna turns 60 in a few days, and Petri is 59 today. (Happy birthday to both of them.)

Can't believe their Euros win was 30 years ago .

She looked to be in her 40s to me. 50s top.

Ahsun - 3z+3t good; nice 2a; 3f - also good; rest of the elements quite lovely. This will score well if the jump review holds up (b/c Korean women always get reviewed, lol).

Her costume and hair bling are on point too.

Way to butcher Sara-Maude's last name.

 

[Karen-W]

Sara-Maude - 3t+3t good; 2a also nice; 3z - solid; well, I wasn't expecting this solid of a skate from her, but good job! I can see this being in the low 60s.

Way to butcher Sara-Maude's last name.

both Chris & the arena lady announcer!

 

[MacMadame]

Usually, I like Evanescence. This is too wail-y though.

And another Canadian Woman who lays it down.

 

[danafan]

That was really good for Dupuis (not DuPOIS). The lutz looked tentative but at least she didn't pop it.

 

[MacMadame]

on the money

Also, when Chris says a skater is motoring into a jump, it creeps me out.

 

[MacMadame]

I never would have guessed Dune from this outfit.

 

[Private Citizen]

Higuchi's combo looked 3Fe+3T< (possibly even <<) to me. Should be in -5 territory yet currently has positive GOE. We'll see if it holds. Lutz should get a -3 or -4 as well. This should go below Dupuis with fair judging.

 

[Karen-W]

Wakaba - 2a nice; 3z - flipped out on the landing; 3f+3t - I know Chris thinks it was brilliant, but I'm going out on a limb and saying the 3t gets a q. She should easily lead, but once again, she's digging herself a whole in the SP. This is 100% the reason why I don't expect her on the Worlds podium.

They didn't even bother to look at the Lutz edge; and they called the 3t a q, which is what I predicted. You are a harsh taskmaster, lol.

 

[Private Citizen]

Disappointed with the calling - q for the toe was generous, and seems like no edge call on the flip nor underrotation call on the lutz.

It's consistent though. There have been a ton of questionable qs.

 

[annie_mg]

Being a Matsuike fan is so hard. Still I hope her skating skills are rewarded. She is just amazing.

 

[Private Citizen]

I love how Matsuike's program moves (even if the music is overused), but a doubled solo jump is deadly. The flip looked short to me, too.

 

[Karen-W]

Rino - this dusty rose/millennial pink costume just washes her out & I hate it. 2a - nice; 3f+3t - both jumps should get reviewed; ooooof - pops the 3z into a 2z - and no, it was not an elegant pop. Not her worst SP of the season, by a fair measure, but still doing herself no favors & she'll be aiming to end her season with another clean FS to make up for the hole she dug herself in the SP.

 

[MacMadame]

Not sure about that last jump but the combo actually looked clean. and the 2X was swoosh.

oh, "artistic" camerawork

 

[Karen-W]

Alysa - 3f+3t - both should be reviewed; 2a - beautiful; 3z - that looked good. This program is really one of the masterpieces this season. Right up there with SmaDie's Dune FD at the top of my list of programs that I love every time I see it.

 

[Private Citizen]

Some of the spin calls for Liu seemed harsh - L2 for the layback?

Combo looked short to me.

 

[annie_mg]

I've said this before but Alysa has a sense of freedom and joy in her skating that can't be taught. I just love watching her.

 

[Karen-W]

Chris is questioning the tech panel calling the 3t in her combo as < - he does NOT agree at all, lol.

Chris and I disagree.

 

[Karen-W]

hang onto your hats, folks!

 

[MacMadame]

Has anyone seen the Pink Ladies? They are supposedly here.
