FSU Watch Party Saturday 4/4 - 1995 Worlds ladies SP [12pm CDT / 7pm CET]

[alchemy void]

As another stay-at-home weekend approaches for most of us, let's do another watch party. 95 Worlds was runner-up in the last poll. The amazing Sk8Frasch has the entire event on youtube with British Eurosport commentary. I've got to say, this is a pretty sweet lineup.

I'm thinking we'll probably do the ladies LP on Sunday. Is this a good time for everyone?

 

[SmallFairy]

This is too good, I can’t wait! I was watching some short cut Swedish broadcast back then, and have only seen the top six or something.

 

[SmallFairy]

Markova and Bobek ruled this SP

And Lu Chen. Mendelssohn’s Piano concerto for the world!

 

[Finnice]

Oh my G, Mila Kajas! I have to tell her. She is a current PR manager of FFSA.
Unfortunately, I have another virtual party tomorrow at 5 pm CET. Dunno how long it takes.

Can't make it (working) but will be there in spirit!

 

[Jeschke]

Never heard of #3 here.

 

[Finnice]

Never heard of #3 here.

Simone Lang, you mean? I remember the name but not her very well. So likely not very voidy.
I loved Berankova, Rechnio and Czako. Plus Kopac and Malinina. Aahg, should I tell to Die Toten Hosen Club gentlemen that I can not join them. But @Jeschke, at least I am a fan of German punk rock.

 

[alchemy void]

Never heard of #3 here.

She won silver at 1989 Skate Canada!

 

[Skate Talker]

Simone Lang, you mean? I remember the name but not her very well. So likely not very voidy.

I remember her. IIRC she was "the new Witt" with the same coach as Katarina. I seem to remember pale blond hair and at least one costume that was done to swan lake with a white, slightly voidy costume.

 

[skipaway]

I love it..see you then.

 

[Vagabond]

I can't do Sundays before 1:00 PM CDT.

 

[skateboy]

I'd like to join you on Sunday.

 

[skoppa]

Can you put time for idiots like me

 

[casken]

Ah, yes, Bobek ushering in the flutz era.

 

[VGThuy]

Ah, yes, Bobek ushering in the flutz era.

Yes. It was so egregious. I think it hit its zenith with Sarah Hughes. Never saw such a proud display of a horrific Lutz technique with a mule kick being the exclamation point. She was smart to only do one triple Lutz in the SLC LP as far from the judges' eye-line as possible but with two 3/3s. Sasha's looked like she didn't really attempt an outside edge. The American women were just doing it left-and-right.

 

[skatingguy]

The American women were just doing it left-and-right.

I think it was just right, if they were leaning left they would have hit an outside edge.

 

[VGThuy]

I think it was just right, if they were leaning left they would have hit an outside edge.

Some of them attempted and rocked back and forth, like Kwan. Sometimes, she would hit the outside edge-to-flat. Some others were DEEP into the inside edge. I think for a while, the true Lutzers were lipping as well. One good thing about IJS was they incentivized the skaters to fix all of that.

So.... I'm not going to make it tomorrow. I forgot I'm helping my friend move to her new house in the middle of a pandemic.

Can anyone volunteer to run it!? I have the Watch2Gether all set up, I just need someone to essentially push play and keep the entire session active.

 

[Jeschke]

Ah no! That sucks. This seems so totally your line-up!

I could take the responsibility to push the button! (I guess you approve the song vice )
Problem: Not sure I'll make it in time! So if anyone volunteers? Otherwise I'll do the job!

 

[Aceon6]

I’m in, if DH doesn’t find another project.

 

[Kateri]

I'm doing a dodgy home bleach job on my hair in anticipation!!

The watch2gether link is:

Let's meet on Watch2Gether

Watch2Gether lets you watch videos with your friends, synchronized at the same time.

The only thing someone needs to do is to push play at the start time. Playlist is loaded and locked.

If you prefer to watch the youtube playlist:

I knew EXACTLY what this was going to be when I saw the link. Underrated song.

Ah no! That sucks. This seems so totally your line-up!

Right? I'll be sure to be available for the LPs, though.

 

[gkelly]

Simone Lang, you mean? I remember the name but not her very well. So likely not very voidy.

I liked her 1995 programs. But by that point, two or three different triples wasn't going to cut it, especially if you couldn't actually land them all.

It's short, so as long as it's closer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkJwO3eKUNQ than https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxqUMB8_wgM, I'll live. (Reality: probably https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=netQAvQafzY )

 

[skateycat]

I could push the button! Or wait a few minutes, whichever's good.

 

[skateycat]

At 10 after, I'm gonna push the button. Am very excited about this competition!

[skateycat]

Oh it’s not for another 45 minutes! Oh gosh so sorry. I wondered why nobody was saying anything.
