German Skating News - 2024 Onwards

It was a nice piece and Daniel Weiss was pretty interesting there, I thought. He's very biased in his skating commentary, but also knowledgable, I've kinda gotten used to taking the good with the bad and enjoy it for what it is. Bindl and Winkler were also fine for their events. I thought they did a creditable job with the Olys commentary in general.

Anyway, back to Weiss here. I kinda agree that the FP is great when it's skated cleanly. It's a bit risky because IMO it falls apart if they start making mistakes and makes less of an impression. The music and choreo are kinda constructed towards it being viewed as a whole piece, so if they disrupt it with mistakes, it falls apart more than perhaps more energetic/easier music.
 
I just looked at it, from the timing I'd guess it's the score she doesn't like, maybe some levels.

I watched a documentary about her and Julia Grabowski 1 or 2 year ago and thought her personality sure is something.

Last season during the JGP she messed up a jump and after her program, when the next skater had already taken the ice, instead of directly leaving she repeated the failed jump and rage stormed off the ice :shuffle:

I don't think this level of ambition will mix well with puberty (and the typical adjustment phase were your body doesn't always do exactly what you want it too)
