2024 Finlandia Trophy Womens SP PBP - We Are the Whirled

[TAHbKA]

Wow, Mihara really doesn't want that gold.
Sad, it's the best quality of skating tonight (among the ladies)

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Had to take a call. Looks like I didn't miss much

 

[Wyliefan]

Dangit, Mark, you jinxed her.

 

[Colonel Green]

Mai

 

[MacMadame]

Camera wanted to go the other way, who knows for what reason mid-combination.

"Artistic" camerawork

 

[Rukia]

cursed red x

 

[Karen-W]

Well, well, well... Sarah will be top 3 after the SP too!

 

[her grace]

How on earth is Lorine skating this late in the competition? I wonder how she got this ranking/seed

Her 5th place finish at Euros points helped as well as the fact that she was sent to 2 GPs last season while much of this field weren’t, e.g., Yun, Matsuike, Everhardt, the Finns, etc.

 

[quartz]

Mai is my favourite floaty skater.

 

[Sally1214]

Double flip again (sigh). Maybe Mai should do a different jump.

 

[Citlali]

Mai

 

[Karen-W]

Dangit, Mark, you jinxed her.

Ehhhhhh... Did he, though? Mai has had a lot of struggles the past few seasons.

 

[Braulio]

Mai...

 

[tony]

Don't care about the mistake, her skating and musical sense is just divine.

 

[MacMadame]

Bingo!

Which costume are you going to ax?

 

[her grace]

Mihara has a lot in common with Jason Brown.

Only worse because she’s got a whole host of teammates that skate well enough to definitively push her out

 

[Karen-W]

@MacMadame - are we counting the crystals on her upper cheek as whickety-whack? That's the only thing that's even come remotely close to blatantly unnecessary with these women, costume-wise, lol.

 

[Sally1214]

GOE to Mai though for her nails being so PERFECTLY matched to her costume.

 

[tony]

I don't like hearing that she 'spent hours' scrutinizing her GP France performance. She's coming back from a lot of setbacks. She will get there eventually.

Eh. I don't think so. Especially as we already have a BINGO

 

[Karen-W]

Yeah, well, I also had forgotten about Hana's rope cords, so it counts, lol.

 

[Karen-W]

Okay, so I waited until the 2nd group to decide which costume to ditch - someone else already chose Rino's (which was one of my two options from the first group, lol), and I'm left to choose between Olivia Lisko and Lorine Schild. Anyone else with a Bingo want to take one of those and I'll cut the other?

 

[her grace]

Questionable edge on Yoshida’s lutz

 

[Wyliefan]

Hana's landing stuff, but her landings look a little thunk-ish to me.

 

[tony]

Rotations are so uneven throughout all of the jumps, Lutz and toe both looked tight and maybe even the loop too.

Like this program though.

 

[Rukia]

Her jump landings were all a little weak to me. Like she just wasn't getting into the ice on landing, and it makes it look wobbly.

 

[Aceon6]

Thanks for saving this, Hana. Beautiful skating.

 

[Sally1214]

Wonderful skate by Hana.

 

[honey]

Her getting away with just one q seems insane. Lutz looked < to me.

 

[Citlali]

Hana

Suspiciously rotated jumps aside, I appreciate a ladies' program that is not twinkly music
