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

Malinina

I don't think I've ever seen her pre-1999 skates until this year

-3z-2t nice height on the 3z
-3f
-somewhat weird position on the combo spin
-nice 2a
-positions in spirals not as secure as Gusmeroli
-there's something lacking in the presentation as well

neat and clean
 
Malinina had a gorgeous technique (when she didn't bomb), should be used as a textbook example on jumps - 5.7/5.5

Paurova

-3r-2t
-2a
-she seems tilted on her jumps, but she lands them
-good centering on flying spin
-3s good
-throwaway Euro spiral sequence
-nice spins

not a lot of presentation
 
Never seen Paurova. She seemed to skate with energy and speed but her carriage and choreo leave to be desired.
5.3/5.1

Paurova

.1 on recentering combo spin

Lower difficulty but less deductions.

5.2 5.2
 
I really missed Brit Eurosport this year.
Their commentry at 98 worlds ladies SP was maybe the best about the event :D
 
Carter

-I don't like her crossover technique
-2z-2t *not the required element
-3r with wide swinging leg on landing
-she's speedy
-dreadful spiral sequence
-some thoughtful use of musical highlights in the choreography, steps and spins match neatly with music :)
2a- just
