2026 Worlds Womens SP PBP - The Unbearable Shiteness of e-ing

[Wyliefan]

Going into a work meeting now. Sound down, alas.

 

[Karen-W]

Bit underwhelmed by Lara Naki today. Guessing she'll slot in between Haein & Niina P.

 

[Elisheba]

Is it good?

I like it. It's a period drama where she has to solve mysteries while fighting the patriarchy and wearing hats excellently.

 

[Karen-W]

Do you get extra WS points if you participate in the olys team event?

No

 

[petro]

Is Lara continuing next season do we know?

 

[Sally1214]

I scared my dog I yelped so loud when she (sort of) landed the lutz

I understand "sort of" landing a jump. Still confused by my goddaughter saying she has a "sort of" boyfriend.

 

[Karen-W]

Hard disagree with that score.

 

[Matryeshka]

FOURTH!!

Really, they couldn't find .67 points SOMEWHERE?!!!

 

[Sally1214]

Come on, Amber ..

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

The tech panel is tired. I have no other explanation as to why Amber's 3a and combo are not reviewed

 

[floridaice]

Breath Amber!

 

[Karen-W]

Bit tight on the first two jumping passes but good for Amber for not letting the loop go finally.

Yeah, the combo especially

 

[slicekw]

You can feel Amber loosening after she got the last jump. Not nearly the energy she had at Nats, tho.

 

[Matryeshka]

Not her best, but not her worst either on the axel and combo. I hope that now the loop demon has been vanquished, she really lets loose for the rest of the program.

Amber

 

[Lanie]

Not magic like Nationals but I’ll take it

 

[Debbie S]

Yay, Amber!

 

[Sally1214]

YESSSSSSSSS!!! Amber was SO tight that I don't think I breathed at all during her entire performance. I'm SO happy for her to get the job done.

 

[Matryeshka]

I'm a big fan of Amber getting a World medal here, but all green blobs here is...questionable at best. Judges must be Glennheads. I'm OK with a pass on the axel, but the combo REALLY needs to be reviewed. OTOH, they've been kinda generous in their lack of reviews in the two flights I've seen.

 

[Karen-W]

Sounds like the tech panel did wind up reviewing the combo. Mark says the 3t was called q - should have probably been called < given that she clearly two-footed the landing.

 

[viennese]

Death to the loop demon!

 

[Firedancer]

A little tight on jumps but she stayed on her feet

 

[Sally1214]

Wow .... she just squeaks into first place ... for the moment.

 

[Matryeshka]

Kaori

 

[toddlj]

Kaori's eye makeup is gorgeous.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Not ready to say goodbye to Kaori

 

[slicekw]

I’ve got an afternoon A/C tuneup scheduled. Right as they were doing Amber’s scores I get a call, can the tech come now? I explained that we’re on the last few skaters for worlds (“My Super Bowl”) and the tech should knock once and come in. Lady on phone laughed. I then said “well Kaori Sakamoto is coming on now and I got to go”. And we were done.

WTG Kaori, that was lovely.

 

[Elisheba]

I am legit teary eyed.

 

[Citlali]
