FSU Watch (and judge!) party: 98 Worlds ladies SP - SAT, MAY 30th @ 12pm CDT / 7pm CET

@Jeschke may need emotional support when he sees Szewczenko's ordinals.

 

[rfisher]

Cupcake was so cute then, but all I can see is her nude photo shoot in that fur coat.

 

[her grace]

Leray

-3z-2t tiny and tight
-3r and fall
-she's definitely into the program
-2a not a lot of speed coming out
-weak spin to end

It can get worse than fangirling Dytrt through entire career and cheering for Schott now, can it?

 

[Erin]

Yikes, I haven’t scored poth yet, but I have a lot of deductions listed, so breaking from the pack here.
I

Don't worry about it. Of the 5 judges I've uploaded scores, her ordinal spread is 12 places.

I guarantee you're not breaking out too much.

As I confessed to @alchemy void privately, I ended up treating this like what used to be called a closed marking competition, where the judges were allowed a chance to go back and change their marks once all the competitors had finished. Poth was the only one where I changed my marks enough to change my ordinal, but I'm kind of wishing I would have stuck with my original ordinal. But I was kind of feeling like I had anti-Hungarian bias, as I was very harsh on both her and Granny. Even though I love Hungary - it is a lovely country!

Commentary thought this will go 2nd

Chris and especially Simon always seem to overestimate the conventionally beautiful ladies' chances. Same with Leray.

I have a couple thoughts about Szewczenko, but @Jeschke may never speak to me again if I share.

I love Szewczenko and even I had to come down hard on that program.

 

[Jeschke]

Sokolova

 

[alchemy void]

What did Simon say about 3S+3Lo?

 

[casken]

Leray

.2 Flutz?
.4 on the loop
And once again a spin I'm not sure on the revolutions
Knees so stiff it makes Butyrskaya look supple.

These Eurosport guys really like the generic sexy stuff don't they? "Now THIS is interpretation"

4.9, 5.2

 

[tony]

What did Simon say about 3S+3Lo?

She does a 3S+3Lo combo in her free skate but it's an unusual one.. you'll see it. Not directly a combo and not a sequence in terms of the Euler. She was doing it all that year.

 

[alchemy void]

I really like this program, but I'm missing the white flowers she had in her hair at the Olympics.

[allezfred]

Last time I saw Sokolova she was legless in a Polish hotel lobby.

 

[Jeschke]

5.3/5.4

Baby Sokolova

Remember back when the baby skaters could be 18?

-3z wandering turn out steps into 2t
-turns look quite deliberate, needs to smooth those out
-3r
-good sit position
-2a tano
-charming

Last time I saw Sokolova she was naked on a bearskin rug with bad lighting.

You're more than welcome to change it back if you want.

Well, I saw that too, but not in person thankfully.

 

[casken]

Sokolova

.4 combo

Shortest, choppiest crossovers in the world but good interpretation, expression

5.0, 5.4

 

[rfisher]

I miss a good spiral sequence. Which of you did NOT give MK all the ordinals?

 

[tony]

I marked her down, but still had her 0.4 ahead of my second place ordinal.

 

[Jeschke]

5.6/5.8
2

 

[alchemy void]

5.6/6.0 from

I figured if I went to 5.8 for Bute and Rechnio, a 6 was more than deserved here.

 

[her grace]

Kwan
pink and red do not go together

3z-2t neat and clean
2a held
smooth and easy glide
3t
good speed
spirals best of the bunch

magnificent!

One guess...
