2025 Cup of China Womens SP PBP - Don't Let Me Be Ms UR

[Kateri]

Matsuike - She gets a lot of distance on her jumps, and there's no doubt she'll land them. Lovely program.

Did she ever skate a clean SP last year? Agree on the programme, though.

 

[Lilia A]

Rino landed all her jumps. Wait a sec. Rino landed all her jumps? I don't remember the last time I said that after one of her SP. Loved it. I'll pretend I didn't notice the Lutz edge. What's up with the levels?

 

[Skaterbob]

Like why do we even have commentators at this point. It is just him saying dream start every 6 minutes and saying exactly what they did 6 seconds after they do it.

 

[Spikefan]

At least the commentary is late rather than early.

 

[Skaterbob]

At least the commentary is late rather than early.

Yea I was watching tennis and the commentator was before on all the points were over on the video. lol

 

[Lilia A]

At least the commentary is late rather than early.

Agree, that's significantly worse.

 

[Skaterbob]

Rino's SP is a poor rendition of the LP. Doesn't have the same magic at all. It can't breathe.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Pezzetta lists one of her hobbies as 'crashing into the boards'.

Could do without the wailing music (which is apparently by Freddie Mercury according to ISU bio).

Did she ever skate a clean SP last year? Agree on the programme, though.

Shows how much attention I pay to the women's events....

Anna Pezzetta
Coach: Alisa Mikonsaari, Angelina Turenko
Music: Exercises in Free Love by Freddie Mercury

3Lz+3T
2A
Flying Camel Spin 3
3F - fall
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Layback Spin 4

Combination had lots of height, and ice coverage, and things looked good until the take off for the flip.

-1.00 = Falls
61.89 = 3rd Place

 

[Lilia A]

Falls are overrated when your jumps look like that.
Seriously though, I would so love her to gain some consistency.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Good music from Anna.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Good music from Shin.

 

[Skaterbob]

Jia needs to get away from the boards wtf

 

[Bunny Hop]

Yikes - almost went into the boards on that jump exit!

 

[skatingguy]

Jia Shin
Coach: Hyun Jung Chi
Music: Nocturne No. 20 by Frederic Chopin

3Lz+3T
2A
Flying Camel Spin 4
3F - step out, too close to the boards
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 4
Layback Spin 3

An improvement over last week, but still showing signs of first year nerves. Overall quality of the skating is very evident.

68.01 = 1st Place

 

[Spikefan]

Get out of the way boards!

 

[Lilia A]

Jia is getting close to pulling a Pezzetta and crashing into the boards. It's not the first time she's gotten awfully close. Love everything besides the flip.

 

[tony]

Sounds like he fixed it now

 

[her grace]

Ladies look calm and happy as they are introduced for warm-up—except for Glenn who looked pinched and nervous.

 

[Lilia A]

Audio definitely in sync now.

 

[Bunny Hop]

I've just realised that the ABC (Australia) actually reported on Liu changing her programs - it's so rare for the Australian media to report on skating at all and in recent years it's mainly been for bad reasons (not that the music change is a bad thing - I'm just surprised it merited a story here!).

Figure skater Alysa Liu drops short program amid probe involving artist d4vd

Figure skaters spend months perfecting their programs ahead of big competitions, but now world champion Alysa Liu has to come up with a new short program months out from the Winter Olympics as her existing music involves an American artist under investigation.

Amber with 2 3 Axels!!!!

 

[Kateri]

Bringing Sirens back is such a great move from Haein. Her best SP by miles.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Lots of drama arms in Lee's step sequence.

 

[skatingguy]

Haein Lee
Coach: Hyun Jung Chi, Jinseo Kim
Music: Sirens by Christopher Tin

3Lzq+3Tq
2A
Flying Camel Spin 4
3F

Lee starting to find some consistency again at just the right time.

65.46 = 3rd Place

 

[Skaterbob]

Bringing Sirens back is such a great move from Haein. Her best SP by miles.

Disagree there was a reason she dropped it last time. What has changed? lol

 

[her grace]

Do we get any new programs this season?

Lee needs to tighten up the leg position in the combo jumps to rotate more efficiently.

 

[annie_mg]

I loved this programme by Lee, even though she isn't the most engaging skater!

 

[thvu]

Wow at the 3axel, even if hunched. 3toe in the combo looked short.

 

[Skaterbob]

I loved the entrance to the combo spin by Watanabe.
