The feed went out for me. What about everyone else?

ETA I got it back! Also, in case you were wondering, cat ears are NOT Korean hair bling.

 

[MacMadame]

What about Wi's hair piece, @Karen-W? I think this was your category originally.

LOL - yeah, they're only Korean hair bling when worn by Hannah Lim or Minsol Kwon.

 

[Karen-W]

I need a better look at it. Seems like a partial scrunchie, but I'm not positive.

Ohhhh, got a good look at it - yes, definitely Korean hair bling!

 

[MacMadame]

long look at it, got it all wrong

 

[Karen-W]

heart hands!

 

[tony]

Whatever is going on with her, she seems like she's fine with this slow comeback.

 

[Karen-W]

So, Niina & Madi Chock clearly were working off the same color palette for their costumes this season, lol.

I like Nina's better.

Also, let's count great start as dream/perfect start.

 

[MacMadame]

windup

 

[Karen-W]

I like Nina's better.

Me too, lol.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, goodness - that "euler" was a clear step out!

 

[tony]

This is quite interesting. The tension in the music is helping I think, but there are some good bits of choreography. Until the splat.

 

[tony]

That's how she's always done the Euler. No different than Kurakova or, blast from the past, someone like Alaine Chartrand.

Yeah, but it's also on the bingo card because those are crap and we all hate them, lol.

 

[tony]

5 underrotations. Suddenly the panel (same as for the men) wants to look.

 

[Karen-W]

Chris is telling us that FIVE of her jumps have rotation calls.

Poor Lindsay....

 

[tony]

Poor Lindsay....

Probably every triple will be reviewed, because much lesser panels have already done it this year.

LOL - I guess you can be certain they'll scrutinize the three American women & Kurakova within an inch of their skating lives.

and take a break during Sakamoto.

 

[MacMadame]

I'm not sure about this music. Both for skating in general and Lindsay in particular.

 

[tony]

Super cool choreography into the jumps, but they really are all short.

3S was at least <, 3T after 2A looked almost <<, Flip deserves full 'e' call plus ur. Lutz+toe both looked short in the beginning, that toe loop is never even close to being around, but even the Lutz looks short. Lutz at the end <.

The only one I am not sure of is the loop.

 

[Hanna]

Thorngren is not one of the most interesting skaters but I REALLY appreciated some of the long held edges choreographed into this program. And to the music no less! The first 15 seconds particularly, and also the spiral that actually lasted for more than a second.

 

[tangerine dream]

TES was 67.26 at the end. Any guesses where it will end up?

52

 

[Private Citizen]

Not sure what Chris likes about her lutz technique. It was < or possibly <<. Several of the jumps looked like they could be <<. How can he be hoping the tech panel gives her the thumbs up? Slightly short, LOL.

I have no idea Thorngren's motivations for skating, but collegiate or a cruise ship seems like a better option for her at this point. These jumps are never going to get better. If anything, they seem slightly worse.

 

[Karen-W]

Chris' positive commentary about most of these jumping passes is making me laugh because I'm imagining @tony angrily typing away, objecting to each and every comment, lol.
