2025 World Team Trophy - Day 2

[Sally1214]

This is not starting well for Aleksa. Surely he has nowhere to go but up.

 

[Karen-W]

"show some courage there!" counts as real courage/character!

 

[MacMadame]

I never knew I wanted to see Aleksa's Halloween shirt again after 4CCs.

It reminds me of pumpkin pie and I'm okay with that.

Also, Chris says he has courage so ...brave/ real courage/ character

 

[Karen-W]

This is not starting well for Aleksa. Surely he has nowhere to go but up.

Sadly, this is untrue. He at least didn't finish last in the SP. Mind, he'd have to really bomb to finish 12th in the FS because of Morisi, but there's always 11th.

I love how you always look on the bright side of skating.

Aleksa RAKIC
Coach: Joanne McLeod
Music: Va, Vis et Deviens, Steppe, Uncovered

4Tq - step out
3A< - fall, so much hesitation
3Aq+REP - step out
3Lo+3T
Flying Sit Spin 4
Choreo Sequence
3F
3Lz+2A+2A+SEQ - double 3s on the landing of the final jump
3S+2T
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
Step Sequence 2 (3 after review)
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 (4V after review)

Another struggle - the hesitation on the Axels, and the delay on rotation on some of the other jumps really hurting him today.

130.60 = 2nd Place

 

[Sally1214]

One thing I'll say for Joanne McLeod: She's making me feel A-Okay with not having combed my hair yet this morning. Atta girl, Joanne.

 

[Karen-W]

I love how you always look on the bright side of skating.

lol - nah, I'm just playing bingo in vain hope of one last "bingo!"

@Sally1214 the government of Canada should hire you to be our national cheerleader.

@Sally1214 the government of Canada should hire you to be our national cheerleader.

Thanks. It's a tough job at times. Not a lot of applicants for the position.

 

[Karen-W]

So, Roman's picking up where he left off yesterday with regard to his jumps...

 

[Sally1214]

HUUUUGE ...... you've got this, Roman!

 

[MacMadame]

HUUUGE

 

[beckab81]

Sigh... I think it was @tony who talked about how loyal the Canadian skaters are to their coaches, even in light of all evidence that they might need a change. Seeing these 2 back to back reinforces that point.

Glad Roman was able to regroup a bit for the 2nd half.

lol - nah, I'm just playing bingo in vain hope of one last "bingo!"

I'm using WTT judging standards so there is hope.

 

[Sally1214]

"Fabulous comeback," says Chris. You have TWO supporters today, Roman. Regardless of how the jumps went (or didn't), Roman still has the purrrrrdiest blue eyes in the competition.

 

[tony]

All of this is really helping Italy

Nika EGADZE
Coach: E. Tutberidze, D. Gleikhengauz, S. Dudakov

4S - lost control of the landing, step out

3A+2T
3F+1Eu+3S
3Lz

Nika is very stiff through most of this skating, but shows some more fluidity in the choreo sequence.

147.83 = 3rd Place

Belated bingo!

 

[Sally1214]

I see Eteri is keeping her flight costs as low as possible by packing everything into a backpack. Same blouse and vest as yesterday. I like it though. She's a stylish dresser.

 

[MacMadame]

Belated bingo!

Which costumes have to go?

 

[Sally1214]

Go, Daniel! Somebody has to cheer for him. He's been having more than a bit of a hard time on this forum this season.

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I’m never going to stop finding Grassl’s program unintentionally hilarious.

 

[leilaofpaper]

Which costumes have to go?

hmm let me think on it. open to suggestions lol

Go back to pairs... I'd vote for the Georgians, but the French lime green would also be a good contender.
