OK, here we go

 

[MacMadame]

sad cover! Mark it off.

'Perhaps a little lenient on the jump rotations and edge calls'

Story of IJS history.

 

[MacMadame]

I see both Music from a Movie and Obvious warhorse in our future. Plus some cutouts though on the lame side. Plus I consider Lady Gag to be a Superstar artist - don't fight me on this.

 

[MacMadame]

And there's our only one sleeve

Zero oomph, zero fight. No attempt to even stay up on the opening 3T.

Hongyi's been around for a long while. She should have so much more attack than casually going through the motions. Zero investment to the music.

And we get our first "could be skating to anything"

 

[MacMadame]

F'cing "artistic" camerawork

 

[tony]

In a realistic world that applied the PCS with any sense of following the rules, the composition and presentation should be in the 3s or 4s. It gave nothing.

 

[MacMadame]

Oh and I see some whickety-whack though it is, again, on the lame/barely qualifying side.

 

[MacMadame]

OMG, now THAT is a BIG PLUSHY

 

[Karen-W]

Are we talking Gubanova's face crystals? Those qualify as nails/hair match costume moreso, IMO.

Also - Mark just called out the biggest stuffie EVER for Hongyi in the KnC, lol - mark off "big plushie!"

Chen had feathers on her shoulder for whickety-whack. We can count the face crystals also as they are a step above makeup.

 

[tony]

Gubanova has the goods to be amongst the most artistic skaters but she, too, has been giving a bunch of nothing this season. She seems detached from the skating and I don't think she's looked up even once this entire 4 minutes.

I don’t know about being the most artistic. She always has a very serious expression and that’s the only expression. that does not translate artistry to me.

 

[Karen-W]

Also - Gubanova has nude gloves!

 

[skatfan]

I think Gubanova was just trying to land stuff today.

 

[Karen-W]

Shoutouts in the KnC!

 

[MacMadame]

Mark said she was sending signals out. I guess that counts as Shoutouts in the KnC

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I really see the impact of a Grand Prix season without Loena. there’s no Beyoncé /madonna/showgirl music. And it’s well needed right now.

 

[MacMadame]

That 3F looked short

 

[tony]

Definitely the best I've ever seen her skate.

Little choreography here, too, but at least she's giving it something.

 

[Hedwig]

I really like the way she uses her arms. Very rarely the arms don't mean anything in her skate. Most of the times they are used very deliberately.

 

[Hedwig]

I don’t know about being the most artistic. She always has a very serious expression and that’s the only expression. that does not translate artistry to me.

I personally think she always has a very smug look on her face which makes it hard for me to get into her.

 

[tony]

Jian Tong was the most elegant, most well-stretched pair skater to even come out of China and much of the world. He his some beautiful positions especially earlier in his career. Happy to see him still contributing to the sport.

 

[Karen-W]

Okay - those tights do NOT match - you can see the difference in color at her ankles, just above the boot tops, where the tights end, lol.

 

[Karen-W]

Nini is skating to a piece of music called "Curse of the Golden Flower" in a MUSTARD YELLOW dress with floral appliques - can we count this as a 'very literal costume'?
