2025 Skate America Womens Short - Splat-Spangled Blunders

[canbelto]

Way too much is going on with Gubanova's dress.

 

[Wyliefan]

If it’s going to get a UR, would it be best just to go back to a toe instead of a loop?

I was about to ask the same.

Is there anyone who does that combo that doesn't underrotate it? It seems especially prone to URs.

 

[Karen-W]

Okay, now on review both Tara & Johnny are showing the clear UR on the 3lo in her combo. The program is simply gorgeous regardless of the UR, but it definitely hurt her TES - just .6 off the lead.

Idk what happened with Liu but she’s sobbing away being consoled by Scali in the kiss and cry long past the scores being read. And it took forever for her to get off the ice, too.

 

[Braulio]

Why was she so upset looking in the k&c?

Alysa has said this song of Laufey's always gets her very emotional. I wouldn't read more into it than that.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Gubanova looks likes she's skating pretty high in the knees.

 

[Coco]

Lots of pressure with being defending World Champ in Olympic season?

 

[just tuned in]

Lots of pressure with being defending World Champ in Olympic season?

Or was she upset about the under-rotation?

 

[slicekw]

Why give Gubanova an Indian music program and, other than some broken-wrist motions, have her completely ignore the fact?
That was the worst catch-foot position that I’ve seen in ages, especially after Alysa’s.

 

[Braulio]

Gubanova is a gorgeous lady and when hits her programs she looks so elegant and appealing no matter what

Anastasiia Gubanova
Coach: Evegeni Rukavitsin
Music: San Sanana, Jogi

3F+3T
2A
Flying Camel Spin 3
3Lzq
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Sit Spin 4

Another great short program performance for Anastasiia this season. She may very well consistency herself to another European title.

68.07 = 4th Place

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Is the rink announcer saying Gubanova’s first name correctly?

 

[Citlali]

Glad to see a clean skate for Anastasiia

 

[Karen-W]

Good skate for Gubanova! I don't mind her costume. I like the bright color much better than the muted pastels & neutrals she normally wears.

 

[Sylvia]

68.07 4th for Gubanova.

 

[Matryeshka]

Gubanova fitting every SE Asian cliche into one program is kind of an accomplishment. She clearly loves it. Do you think she and Britschgi have sekret conversations about what culture they're going to almost-appropriate next. I mean, I'm into it. This program is dreadful, and I'm here for it, especially the first part.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Behind Gutmann is a bit surprising. Rotations or levels?

 

[Braulio]

The lady calling is doing a good job, waaaay better than that lady who used to do the call all the american events in the USA and smashed any name and sound like she was drunk or something

 

[slicekw]

Kim has the extra-large sparklies of power on her neckpiece.

 

[Karen-W]

Behind Gutmann is a bit surprising. Rotations or levels?

Sounds like rotations maybe?

 

[Sylvia]

Behind Gutmann is a bit surprising. Rotations or levels?

Both. 3Lz called q. L3 steps & 1 spin.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Behind Gutmann is a bit surprising. Rotations or levels?

Her 3Lutz looked pretty suspicious.

 

[Coco]

All the French voice overs this season are really helping me recover my high school French.

 

[Karen-W]

Kim has the extra-large sparklies of power on her neckpiece.

Do we think she and Haein met at the costume shop and had a rock-paper-scissors fight for the super-sized rhinestones and pearls with Haein winning the pearls and Chaeyeon winning all the super-sized rhinestones?

 

[Spikefan]

I prefer voidy Kim, bring her back.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Keep Chaeyeon weird

 

[Belsornia]

Fab skate for Chaeyeon, despite a mud coloured dress that looks like it’s throttling her. I’m so glad she’s got past whatever was going on with her at the beginning of the season, and hope she makes it through the Korean ladies deathmatch to Milano.

After that I hope she redisovers her voidy self from a couple of seasons ago.

 

[slicekw]

I prefer voidy Kim, bring her back.

You didn’t think that was voidy?

 

[Matryeshka]

Kim windmilling her way to podium position. Look at me, I have BIG ARMS to match my BIG SPARKLIES.
