Finlandia Trophy 2025 Women's SP-"Stairway to Hell-sinki"

[slicekw]

Bradie’s finally got the handography that makes her arms look willowy. She looks strong, lithe, and well-trained. Extra points for an actual bare arm and back instead of illusion fabric. Her one bare shoulder is Michele Obama gorgeous.
Nice skate!

"Lays down a clean skate" says Mark. Didn't I see a red blob on that tracker at the first?

clean skate = no weird fall

 

[Sally1214]

Maddie still in first place.

 

[Ms Bumblebee]

What the hell, it was LanaDelRey who worked more for that program.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Oh,.nice, the RD is already started.

Amber

 

[slicekw]

Amber Glenn tiffed to a 12.
She’s showing us what it means to skate to music that you enjoy.
WOW she deserves that standing ovation.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, good for Amber! Still don't like the music edit at the end of the program, but well-skated today.

 

[floridaice]

Way to go Amber!

 

[Lizziebeth]

Amber looked confident when she took the ice and that was so good!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

YASSSSSSSSS QUEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNN

 

[MacMadame]

That was great! And thank you for not doing 50 cuts of different Madonna songs but one all the way through.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Amber is the opposite of a flake. She`s a champion!

 

[FiveRinger]

I'm really respecting Amber's mental game right now. I'll admit I didn't expect that from her. Great job!

 

[Sally1214]

AMBER! LOVED that! Despite medical issues this past week ... despite a less than stellar warmup .... a champion gets it done when it counts. And, that's what I hope she will be.....a champion in the BIG events to come. Forgive me, my fellow Canadians, but Amber is my favorite female singles skater right now.

eta: That performance got a standing O from me in front of my screen.

 

[skateycat]

THAT WAS GORGEOUS!!!!!!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

PCS is still too low.

 

[Citlali]

Oh,.nice, the RD is already started.

Just one song through the whole program?! The RDs could never

 

[Karen-W]

Yeah, Mone did what I expected based on how the entire Japanese team has skated so far today - Pairs, Men and Women.

But, really, judges... How are you not giving that opening combo negative GOE?

 

[skatingguy]

Mone Chiba
Coach: Mie Hamada, Satsuki Muramoto, Hiroaki Sato
Music: Last Dance by Donna Summer

3F+3T - double 3-turn exit

Fun program, and Mone was giving a good performance level.

72.89 = 2nd Place

 

[slicekw]

Chiba only needs fourth, but that skate shows she wants to medal here and at the GPF.

 

[beckab81]

Better presentation from Mone this time - I haven’t loved this program from her (felt a bit juvenile), but today I think she did better with it. Bummer about the 3 turn, but she should still have a good margin in 2nd

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

The last two ladies finally woke me up.
Now, if only we didn't have the rest of the field.

 

[Private Citizen]

3F<+3T< and 3Lze for me, but will they call any of it? Doubtful.

 

[PRlady]

Madonna and Donna, thumbs up. All we need is Alysa’s Gaga and I’m good.
