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

[Theatregirl1122]

are you asking to be annoyed for the next hour until the next warm up group takes the ice?

Yes, that is what I assume will happen. I should go see feed them during these first 3 skaters, honestly. It's not looking great.

 

[flyingsit]

Oh boy between the falls and the music I could have skipped this.

So could she

 

[MacMadame]

No green at all is kind of an accomplishment. I guess we'll see if it holds.

 

[Karen-W]

I'm not sure being Clemence's showing her back counts but I'm also not exactly in my right mind right now.

Oh, I give it to her, same with Mai - because the shape of the opening is not your standard skating costume oval or keyhole back.

 

[tony]

Mayindu probably never expected to be here at this point in her career and got switched in very late, so I’m giving slack. I really liked how excited she was by just being there at a Grand Prix yesterday.

Her jump technique has no air awareness or consistent timing going in, which is so reminiscent of some of the real French greats of the past.

 

[MacMadame]

I was marking off bingo. Did either of her Eulers look like a Step out?

 

[Karen-W]

No green at all is kind of an accomplishment. I guess we'll see if it holds.

It looked like it - the step sequence didn't even get a green box.

 

[Private Citizen]

Poor Clemence, based on the warmup, any jumping pass with less than -3 GOE or any spin more than a L2 is an overachievement. The last minute to 90 seconds was skated in slow motion.

 

[PRlady]

She’s just not ready for a GP and the French Fed should just have given the spot back.

 

[leilaofpaper]

I'm also going to count this as could be skating to anything

 

[Aceon6]

I know it was all red, but there’s something about her. If she gets confidence, maybe?

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh, I hate to see her cry.

 

[Firedancer]

That was really rough. Have we ever seen someone get all negative goe? The color of her dress looks great on her

 

[Sally1214]

Whoah ..... that was one extremely rough skate for Clemence. Poor girl .... wish she could have had a better performance in front of her home country audience. I liked her dress .... beautiful color (not that I can count on my screen to always give me the exact shade).

 

[Rukia]

that music did nothing to help me wake up

 

[tony]

Poor Clemence, based on the warmup, any jumping pass with less than -3 GOE or any spin more than a L2 is an overachievement. The last minute to 90 seconds was skated in slow motion.

All negative red blobs except for one neutral gray one, and yes I think almost all non-jump elements were called initially level 2 or lower, if not all.

 

[peibeck]

Loena sitting at home thinking she needed more time to prepare and we get this.... Sigh. Poor kid.

 

[tony]

Oh, I hate to see her cry.

Pretty sure she’s crying of happiness just as she did in the short. She didn’t expect much of anything here

 

[Sally1214]

Oh my gosh, what adorable children ....

 

[Karen-W]

She’s just not ready for a GP and the French Fed should just have given the spot back.

She scored a lot better at Tayside Trophy 3 weeks ago, so I understand why they gave her the spot when Mazzara was injured.

 

[Karen-W]

Loena sitting at home thinking she needed more time to prepare and we get this.... Sigh. Poor kid.

Clemence was a host spot. Sarah was Loena's replacement.

 

[Aceon6]

Oh no, I forgot, Muse. Bring Clemence back.

 

[MacMadame]

Exogenesis! Modern warhorse!

She hasn't been having a grand time, hope this doesn't put her off.

As a French person, I'm mystified by the "French jump technique" . I've taken skating classes consistently in the UK, France and Russia, and my course in Paris was awesome, with very engaged teachers, 1h30 twice weekly, AND very precise technical instruction. Only the private teacher I had in Russia was as good (and it's only because it was Russia that I could afford private lessons).

 

[Messalina]

Bon matin/bonjours, tout le monde! I got up at 6AM for this and am happy to be watching live today. (I spaced the GP yesterday.)

And playing bingo!

 

[sk9tingfan]

I know that Mark tried to be philosophical about her gaining perspective and experience, but this might dissuade her from ever competing again.

 

[Colonel Green]

Horrendous tilt on that Lutz.

 

[peibeck]

Clemence was a host spot. Sarah was Loena's replacement.

Yes, I'm aware, I'm just being grumpy again.

 

[peibeck]

POGO-splat for Serna.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

This dress is just weird and ugly
