2024 GPdF Womens FS PBP - Running Up Those Stairs (to KnC)

[Sarah]

She didn’t pop… progress.

Glenn: Not enough speed for the 3A. Too many Amber mistakes here. Luckily she has a 7-8 point cushion, she'll at least eek out a podium place... I think.

She had over 11 points on Higuchi

I don't think there's any way she falls off the podium. She's likely to win unless her TES score takes a huge hit.

She and Damon Allen have a great relationship -- nice to see.

 

[genevieve]

I really wanted Glenn to have a triumphant FS. The first half was great - those jumps (save 3A) were so swishy. She tightened up after the jump errors, but it didn't derail the program.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I do think this is an improvement in concentration because she was actually going for the jumps and not bailing out of them

People keep trying to see improvement.

 

[Private Citizen]

How much is a triple axel in the short worth? A lot. This is a risk worth taking.

 

[MacMadame]

Heart hands!

 

[floridaice]

Gold!

 

[Karen-W]

Well, there ya go! I didn't jinx her off the podium, lol.

 

[Colonel Green]

The short program saves the day. Good competition for Amber on the whole, keep up the positive mindset.

 

[Wyliefan]

Third in the free seems high for that.

 

[Sally1214]

And yet another wonderful K/C reaction from Amber. Medal-worthy in itself.

 

[Rukia]

People keep trying to see improvement.

Sorry if i like her lol

 

[leilaofpaper]

People keep trying to see improvement.

Well she won the whole competition - I think that's proof itself that she has improved.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Sorry if i like her lol

I just can't go with you on this journey.

 

[Primorskaya]

She and Sarah should trade music.

Then Sarah would be my fridge break.

Talking about swapping music, I'd be there for Amber trying her hand at a Kate Bush number.

 

[peibeck]

She had over 11 points on Higuchi

I don't do math this early in the morning!!!

 

[Allen]

Not a great long program, but I'm still thrilled to see Amber get the W.

 

[floridaice]

How much is a triple axel in the short worth? A lot. This is a risk worth taking.

She didn't need it in the free, wish she hadn't attempted it, might have helped with her other jumps.

I don't really think it's that related, if I'm being honest.

 

[Karen-W]

That's a good score, another 210+ for her this season, so that's definitely improvement over what Amber's delivered in the past.

 

[MacMadame]

This is what I got. Did I miss anything:


“Artistic” camerawork
1st 3X/quad
Big plushy
Coach cam
Costume doesn’t match (debated)
Could be skating to anything
Emo/ sad girl cover
Heart hands
Korean hair bling
Superstar artist
Very literal costume
Warhorse - classical


Pink Ladies!!

That’s a stretch. Second half woes have always happened with her regardless of the first half- see Nationals.

 

[Primorskaya]

Is it just me, or does the blue on the dress outline her boobs in a totally weird way?

I think it does a great job of highlighting the waist, but that's all I like about it.

 

[fan]

Thrilled for wakaba to make the gpf!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

This interviewer's question is annoying. I'm going to watch Schitt's Creek for 20 minutes.

 

[Rukia]

That’s a stretch. Second half woes have always happened with her regardless of the first half- see Nationals.

Yeah I actually think it's smarter for her to go for it in the free because that second half is always going to be looming there and those points are useful

Thanks for all the PBP everyone. I really enjoyed your posts. And congratulations Amber.
