2026 Worlds Womens FS PBP - La Vie En Drone

[my little pony]

I'll miss Katya, she gives it everything

 

[Citlali]

Oh no the program got away from her at the end

 

[JoannaLouise]

Yikes, sooo many elements marked for review. (Unsurprising, because most of those jumps looked pretty questionable in real time.)

 

[slicekw]

Falls aside, Kurakova is one of the best emotional skaters out there. Skating like this with a stress fracture was incredible and I’ll even forgive her for skating to Moulin Rouge.

 

[Sally1214]

I've always liked Ekaterina but that's a lot of red blobs, yellow lines ... and then a fall. But .... she seems happy to just have gotten thru it all, so good for her.

 

[Private Citizen]

What has Feigin been doing since the Olympics? She ended the program gasping for breath and is still doing so in the Kiss and Cry. It's as if she didn't do any training.

Maybe she wasn’t expecting to make the free.

 

[miffy]

I'll miss Katya, she gives it everything

Is she retiring?

 

[Desperado]

Ha, ha, ha, that backflip fake out was EVERYTHING.

 

[Jay42]

Katya looked like she was just hanging on to some of those moves. I'm glad she got through the program even with the step sequence fall.

I do love her commitment to her music every time though.

 

[Asli]

Kurakova used to have so much character! Now most of the program is going from one stressful jump preparation to the other. She still won over the audience with the last minute though.

 

[MacMadame]

Someone answered the phone!!

 

[Desperado]

Was it in her foot?

 

[Cachoo]

Kurakova used to have so much character! Now most of the program is going from one stressful jump preparation to the other. She still won over the audience with the last minute though.

But couldn't that have to do with her injury?

 

[annie_mg]

Are we sure Kurakova is retiring?

 

[Asli]

But couldn't that have to do with her injury?

I wasn't aware of it. Just snarking ignorantly, sorry!

 

[Jay42]

Are we sure Kurakova is retiring?

I don't think she's said one way or the other.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Iida, if they made you skate in this tutu - blink twice.

 

[Sally1214]

I don't think she's said one way or the other.

Isn't she only 23 years old? Seems too young to retire. My hope would be that she can get completely recovered from her injury and then continue on for awhile.

 

[flyingsit]

I love Miss Saigon and I’m not afraid to admit it

 

[MacMadame]

Isn't she only 23 years old? Seems too young to retire. My hope would be that she can get completely recovered from her injury and then continue on for awhile.

She'll be 24 in a few months. Not sure why that seems so much older.

 

[Jay42]

Isn't she only 23 years old? Seems too young to retire. My hope would be that she can get completely recovered from her injury and then continue on for awhile.

Yeah, she turns 24 later this year. She's mentioned that her and her coaching team have been working on her rotation issues and I would love to see her with those issues fixed. We'll have to see I guess.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I know it's cheesy, but I kind of love Zhang's Super Dramatic Pause right in front of the judges

 

[Private Citizen]

Even with a couple of jump issues, Zhang is a solid step above everyone else so far. Very nice step sequence.

 

[petro]

Really enjoyed Zhang, she has lovely ice presence and qualities. It’ll be fun to watch her evolve in the next cycle.

 

[Jay42]

I like Zhang a lot. Seconding @petro it'll be fun to see her develop over the next few years.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

...I don't think Lorine has ever had any fight in her.

 

[Reuven]

Maybe she’ll have some fight left in her this time?

 

[petro]

Everyone skating to Kaori’s old program music just makes me want to watch Kaori’s programs….

 

[slicekw]

Good skate for Zhang. She, out of all the skaters in the last couple of decades, really reads that she watch Michele Kwan on replay and memorized the best of her movements. Not complaining, she’s a pretty skater. Hopefully she can work on her stretch, which is almost there, and generally become more a more mature skater.

 

[flyingsit]

This dress looks like she should be skating to something edgy. And, well….
