2025 4CC - Women Free: “Red Light, Green Light”

[MacMadame]

A well deserved win and she skated brilliantly, but I just haven’t been able to really get into her skating…

I like how she comes through in a clutch

 

[Aceon6]

I really don't know who I want to be the World Champion in this field. It used to be my favorite discipline for many years when I first started watching skating and now 90% of the programs are just so zzzzzzz. IJS problems, maybe.

Same. Back in the dark ages, I was women, men, pairs, and dance in that order. Now it’s the reverse.

 

[Karen-W]

So far, no one here has scored Petrokina free score from Europeans although this will

Nope, but everyone down through 7th here would have been on the podium in Tallinn. I'd say that the Euros women really need to dig deep to finish higher than 7th or 8th in Boston. And Belgium is looking to have some real trouble with getting two spots unless Pinzarrone dials it up several notches.

 

[genevieve]

Coach zooming in to make sure she sees that right is priceless

 

[Wyliefan]

Her coach looks more excited than she does.

 

[slicekw]

Dude, proportionately she just pulled off a Malinin, score-wise.

 

[floridaice]

For me, it needs more expression and higher jumps.

Where Sarah looked down, Chaeyeon looks up. She isn't looking at the judges or audience.

 

[petro]

Kim entirely unimpressed with her win lol

 

[Colonel Green]

Almost a ten-point improvement in her PB gets no visible reaction out of her. She's focused.

 

[Karen-W]

Where Sarah looked down, Chaegeon looks up. She isn't looking at the judges or audience.

Chaeyeon has plenty of staring-down-at-the-ice moments, though I think her expression is just a bit softer than Sarah's. Both of them are laser-focused.

 

[MacMadame]

Okay, I have forgotten who had BINGO. They need to kill a costume.

Here is the complete list in case someone else has one and doesn't realize it

Hang on to your hats
Heart hands

Lip-synching
Long look at it

Whickety-whack

 

[genevieve]

Someone be merciful and kill Faranofova's costume

 

[slicekw]

Many thanks again to the Admins, MacMadame, KarenW and tony. Y’all really add to the experience of being a member here!

 

[Aceon6]

This is a late night for me, but my body is responding like it did when I had to work late… I’m wide awake.

 

[Wyliefan]

That was fun. Good night, all!

 

[peibeck]

So the Americans will get two medals here with neither skater named to the world team. Nagasu medalled at 4CC three times after not being named to the world team (though there was one time she ended up at worlds as a substitute). Shows how strong the US women are at the moment.

I guess will depend on how USFS views how Isabeau did in Italy. IMO the sub should go and she should concentrate on continuing to heal.

Many thanks again to the Admins, MacMadame, KarenW and tony. Y’all really add to the experience of being a member here!

Aw

 

[Jammers]

Alysa made one mistake all competition and it keeps her off the podium.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Okay, I have forgotten who had BINGO. They need to kill a costume.

I had Bingo, and by the power invested in me by the ghost of Toller Cranston, I am killing all of the green costumes that caused skaters to fall.

 

[Karen-W]

Many thanks again to the Admins, MacMadame, KarenW and tony. Y’all really add to the experience of being a member here!

I think there are a lot of other FSUers who make the community fun and great! I'm not nearly as witty as so many of the rest of the regulars!

 

[Aceon6]

She has to pass 10 to get on the podium. I’m guessing she will finish 5th, but she might pull an Adam. If she does, that will make the normally boring ladiezz a bit more exciting.

Quoting myself, but I was one off. Mone missed 5th by .09.

 

[MacMadame]

I had Bingo, and by the power invested in me by the ghost of Toller Cranston, I am killing all of the green costumes that caused skaters to fall.

I accept this though I was secretly hoping for Maria's Ms Marvel costume.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Well, good night everyone and thanks for the awesome PBP fun!

 

[tony]

I count 35 q's in the protocols. 35.

35 times the technical panel said the skater had their blade land at PRECISELY 90 degrees short.

I can't be the only one who thinks this sounds stupid as hell.

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I will kill that one with by the power invested in me by the Skategods of good taste.

I accept this though I was secretly hoping for Maria's Ms Marvel costume.

 

[Aceon6]

They’re nearly the same height on the awards stand, but Kim is still the shortest.
Good night, all. It’ll be Gala on replay for me, so if you do happen to watch live, snark away!

 

[PRlady]

Well that was worth staying up for, thanks ladies. Gutted for Alysa (whose PCS should be much higher than Sarah’s but the stupid salchow killed her.) Night, all.

 

[Lana K]

I hope the KSF lets Chaeyeon take her two weeks off. She low-key looks absolutely exhausted.

 

[Yyzskater]

Did anyone notice how exhausted many of the skaters were after their free? Like more exhausted than normal...
