Opening double Axel was tight, and showing nerves, but after that she settled in and performed well.

60.03 = 2nd Place

Good for Iida. That was actually very enjoyable to watch. She grabbed that quirky choreo and ran with it. The Finnish women have done themselves proud.

 

[Coco]

Why are coworkers insisting on getting work done?

 

[Allen]

I love that program. She did well, but yeah, I kind of wish Petrokina was skating it

 

[Colonel Green]

Decent showing by the home team.

Go Loena!

 

[Allen]

Why are coworkers insisting on getting work done?

A student emailed me and said "I know you are watching Figure Skating, but..."

 

[Sally1214]

eyeography??

Yup. And the first to do it .... and you know how people get remembered for being the FIRST to do something. Who knows? Maybe next season, we'll see a lot of eyeography by other skaters. Stranger things have happened.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Idk, but I kind of preferred Loena when she slated to technotrash.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh, Loena .....

 

[victorskid]

Due to the music issues mentioned in the practice thread, Luna had no opportunity to practice her program earlier today

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Idk, but I kind of preferred Loena when she slated to technotrash.

I think she does too.

And to think I woke up at 6am to fly to Helsinki for this.

 

[Sally1214]

 

[her grace]

Falls from Hendrickx on both triples. Ouch

 

[Private Citizen]

Disaster for Loena. Two falls, at least one ur, and a level two spin with a V. No chance at GPF; should go behind two of the three Finns. Shame Sofia couldn't get the visa to compete here. I'd have thought she'd have a multi-entry Schengen visa?

Just a rough skate.

-2.00 = Falls
54.75 = 3rd Place

 

[PRlady]

Poor Loena. What a disaster.

 

[Karen-W]

I dozed through the men, which was a wise choice (I have a pretty good idea of how they all skated, but I don't feel like I've missed anything). Now, I'm awake again for the women and what a rough SP for Loena.

 

[Sally1214]

On the bright side, Loena's dress is lovely and she had a level 4 step seqence. Aww .... tears.

 

[Private Citizen]

Flip looks it should be downgraded to a double, not just ur.

 

[Citlali]

Loena

 

[Sally1214]

Loena is such a beautiful young woman. Sure hope she can get her skating up to scratch in the last half of the season.

 

[Sally1214]

Lots of silver dresses in the SP. Was there a memo or something?

 

[honey]

54 points seems not that bad for what she did tbh.

She looked rattled before she even started. Hope she can rebound.

 

[floridaice]

Love Rino's dress, especially the back.

 

[genevieve]

Loved that from Matsuike

Solid skate, but issues with the rotation on the jump combination, and possibly with her back at the end of the program.

61.26 = 1st Place

 

[Citlali]

Rino

Oh no, is her back ok?

 

[slicekw]

It’s a privilege to watch Rino just stroke around the rink. So soft. I hope her back is ok, because it’s making my back hurt to watch.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh no, looks like Rino may have twisted or pulled something. Hope she's okay. That was a lovely skate to watch.

 

[Karen-W]

It's a shame I'm no longer sleepy because Rino's music usually makes me nod off. I hope she isn't too injured, even if she does bore me to death.
