2025 Skate Canada Womens SP PBP - Night of the Cheating Edge

[Karen-W]

New SP costume for Sarah and I'm not a fan at all. Weird Juliet sleeves with an odd fishnet cutout down the top sides that's mirrored around her waist/hips. Her jumps are gorgeous though, I will say that much. She is just rock solid with this program - and nice to see her smiling more in the step sequence.

Very solid technical skate, but missing the intensity of performance that we would associate with this music. Also the choreography doesn't take advantage of some of the more iconic music sections by using spins instead of steps, or field moves to interpret the music.

63.47 = 3rd Place

I like Everhardt's fierceness, but I wish she'd get down in her knees.

 

[Belsornia]

I much prefer Everhardt’s previous Riverdance dress. Still think this programme is a good fit for her, since she’s not an expressive skater but she does listen to her music and can skate on the beat.

 

[skatfan]

Better than last year but still a long way to go in interpretation.

 

[tony]

Lutz call I think is fair. Thought it would be < in real time

 

[genevieve]

What is gong on with rhe shoulders on Sarah's dress? They look all weird and poofy.

In closeup once she was done I can see what they were going for, but in jumps and spins it looks like she's got off-the-shoulder shoulder pads

 

[LilJen]

Sarah is just so stiff. Jumps are great but so stiff and mechanical in her movements. I suspect that performance does not come naturally to her and she'll need a lot of dance and theater training to project and loosen her up so she's actually communicating something during her programs.

 

[floridaice]

This is a new costume for Sarah these sleeves look different.

And the illusion fabric is not the right color at all.

 

[Rukia]

I like this costume because it's like reel around the sun but also she'll cut you if necessary and i respect that

 

[just tuned in]

Sarah wuz robbed.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh dear here we go with baby blue again.

 

[PRlady]

Everhardt: I do see improvement in her presentation and the jumps looked solid. Nicely done.

I’ve been very hard on Sarah but that was better, her body is giving more expression. Now she needs to look up at the audience!

 

[tony]

SS and PR still way too high IMO. But at least this year I see glimpses of trying.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I would not have pegged Bradie for a Lana Del Rey skater.

 

[Citlali]

I'm already bored with the asymmetric dresses, this dress would look much better with both sleeves or without any sleeve, but this is just silly

 

[Skaterbob]

Poor Sarah looks so sad at that score. That triple axel called clean and her lutz isn't. lol

 

[Rukia]

SS and PR still way too high IMO. But at least this year I see glimpses of trying.

I agree but I think if she can keep pushing the presentation and skating skills she could be in a good place in 4 years (idk if they will bother though but that's something else altogether)

 

[ChillSkate]

I love Sarah's jumps, skating, and carriage but why can't she make any facial expressions at all?

 

[Colonel Green]

I really wish Lana had taken another pass at these lyrics.

 

[Spikefan]

Will you still love me?

Not in this costume.

 

[leilaofpaper]

Bradie had a much better outfit at Kinoshita Cup - what happened??

 

[tony]

Lutz looked flutzey and tight, I'm sure the 3T was short too.

I don't know. I was all team Bradie back in the Cinema Paradiso and weird SP years, then Covid and the injuries just did her in. Seeing her at Skate America last year, her basic skating is small and unsteady, the footwork is weak and it really stands out compared to most other skaters.

This isn't cheesy like Riverdance was (those arms marching in place....) but it's also nothing special.

 

[Private Citizen]

Everhardt is better than that program. No idea why they kept it.

I suspect Bradie's combo will be in -5 territory upon review. Looked like 3Lz!q+3T< to me plus the hand down.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I like Lana, but some of the songs are so monotone I don’t know why anybody would want to skate to them.

 

[just tuned in]

Bradie's skating is frantic. Too much arm movement?

 

[LilJen]

Not keen on Bradie's music but performance-wise, she is miles ahead of Everhart.

 

[PRlady]

I would not have pegged Bradie for a Lana Del Rey skater.

Who on earth thought Bradie was pale blue languid romantic?

Not me.

 

[Karen-W]

Bradie - leaning on the 3z in the combo; this "Young & Beautiful" program is much better than her "Lord of the Dance" SP from last season. We'll see what the tech panel does, but I'd have this in the lead. And I still think the dress would be better with the missing sleeve.

Not sure what happened on the combination, but she fought for those jumps. Everything else was good, and a nice performance as well.
