Budapest Trophy 2024 - Women's SP & FS

[Rukia]

this music edit is so much

 

[Karen-W]

Kimmy - careful on her opening combo and second jumping pass, got a little more confident on the 2a and the jump after that. Is this a different costume than Nebelhorn? I need to go back and rewatch, I guess. Eeek - last two jumping passes were suspicious as heck. I'm guessing she'll stay ahead of Lorine, though.

Was thinking the same thing and not for the first time, missing a scoring box.

 

[Rukia]

I think Lindsay looks stunning in this dress

 

[Coco]

Go Linds!!!

 

[Rukia]

I don't really get this program for her? I guess it doesn't quite fit for me yet. Although I do find it kind of funny to use music begging for someone to "move me baby" with one of the more expressionless skaters out there.

 

[jlai]

I don't care for Lindsay's music, but she skated pretty well. Will see what her calls are

Stunning design.

 

[Karen-W]

Lindsay - as @Rukia said - dress is GORGEOUS. Oh, was that a bit of a smile from her in these steps? I'm liking this music style on her. Eeek - 2a+2t+1? That combo didn't go as planned. Came back strong on her next combo though and the last 2a.

Well, they are finding music that suits her rather somber expression and there's a sophistication to her styling and presentation.

 

[sk9tingfan]

I like it because it pushes her to get out of her comfort zone.

Well, if Kimmy scored 124 with HER jumps, Lindsay should easily beat that - she had better jumps today, by a lot.

 

[Rukia]

113?????? Wow that's really harsh

 

[Karen-W]

That's some bullshit calling there.

 

[jlai]

The caller went to town with Lindsay! That is harsh

 

[Rukia]

Ahhh Alysa looks amazing as well US girls are winning the fashion medals for today if nothing else

 

[Karen-W]

113?????? Wow that's really harsh

Yeah, especially since Kimmy had some really suspect jumps too.

 

[Coco]

Calling is political, you'll never convince me otherwise.

ETA: Highest components so far, barely, but behind Lorine in the free.

oh it 100% is across all disciplines

Did you see her coach Julia Lautowa's reaction?

 

[Karen-W]

Alysa - she's looking really damn good! A couple of squirrely landings, but apart from that... 5th US woman to score 190+ at a Challenger this season.

 

[Rukia]

I think regardless of where this score shakes out Alysa can be very, very proud of what she put out here. Good for her! Also I thought that program was very fun.

"All callers are political, but some are more political than others".

Do federations ever challenge a score? Like, what happened in Paris women`s gymnastics?

 

[Rukia]

3t in combo was under for sure, sal after euler was as well

 

[Coco]

I didn't realize South Africa had a skater here, exciting!

 

[jlai]

I don't care for Liu's program either.

 

[Karen-W]

Another long review. These callers are gonna be assholes to the US women today...

 

[jlai]

Liu's scores are pretty fair

 

[Debbie S]

The only calls that can be protested/potentially overturned are if an element is called incorrectly, like a triple being called a double or a lutz being called a toe loop. Underrotations, GOE, levels are all "field of play" decisions and can't be challenged.

 

[Rukia]

Winning your first international comp back with a lot of room too improve is not too shabby for ms liu
