GPdF 2025 PBP - Women's FS: “Chick-a-cheater”

[Aceon6]

This program feels like an éternité.

I’ll reserve judgement until I see it again, but she’s one of my leading candidates for a Euros bio break.

 

[thvu]

I’m with Chris. There’s clear and obvious weight transfer to the inside edge.

They can't give Serna an e when they're going to give Kaori only a !

 

[PRlady]

Stop dressing Jia in grey and white! She is disappearing into the ice. And then Liebestraum, ugh.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Yikes, this is not going to be the redemption skate I was hoping for.

 

[beckab81]

Transition to seniors is hard

 

[shan]

Oh dear, Jia.

 

[Aceon6]

No Korean hair bling. Isn’t team Shin aware that she can’t compete without hair bling?

 

[tony]

The DAVID WILSON stroke your cheeks from one side to the other choreography strikes back! I knew he was the choreographer 30 seconds into this.

That said, the opening choreography and the use of her arms is really out of this world stunning. I love her skating.

 

[thvu]

Jin's arm and hand during that flying camel, done with such style and grace perfectly to the music. Gave me chills.

 

[Private Citizen]

Shin lands her jumps quite flat footed.

Sublime basic skating.

I’d review both jumps on the 3Lz3T

I like the construction of her Liebestraum better than Levito’s from last year.

 

[my little pony]

10 pts to whoever chose Liebenstraum. it seems almost radical after those RDs

 

[her grace]

Shin

Nice opening 2a out of Ina Bauer, and then doing double pops on edge jumps, 3f-2t-2r, 3z-3t. Second half much stronger technically, nice use of arms, hope she can put it all together later in the season

 

[shan]

I'm glad she pulled it together for the second half.

Her qualities are obvious, and many, but for this competition the nerves were too much.

123.10 = 1st Place
182.33 = 1st Place

 

[honey]

Jia really rattled at the start.

 

[peibeck]

Shin: those opening loop and salchow jumps were crazy, and not in a good way. Amazing she recovered as well as she did.

 

[Hedwig]

the music really is a nice palate cleanser after most of what we were subjected to today

 

[thvu]

3toe < on the 3lutz/3toe on replay.

 

[beckab81]

I wonder how much all the coaching changes have impacted her technique. Not sure if it's nerves or something else that's leading to the mistakes.

 

[Skaterbob]

3toe < on the 3lutz/3toe on replay.

I dont think that got called so I expect Kaori to get credit for quads on her triples.

 

[thvu]

I'm not seeing how this costume is Gladiator. It and her face are giving nothing to the tension of the music right now.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I feel like Gracey is more of a vestal virgin than a Roman gladiator.

 

[Colonel Green]

Pop party, and everyone's invited.

 

[shan]

We've had a thousand Gladiator programs, but I really love parts of this soundtrack.

 

[Private Citizen]

Lin Gracey had four URs to my eyes - 3T, 2A after the flip, second flip, and second lutz. Program is very heavy and doesnt do anything for me.

 

[tony]

Don't understand the program at all. There are so many good versions of Gladiator (this isn't one), the music gets faster and she's crawling around the ice prepping for a Lutz. None of the latter music makes sense for the choreography. No highs or lows ever with her skating. She always looks completely indifferent and has zero tension in what she does.

 

[her grace]

Lin-Gracey

Big 3z-3t, completely blank-faced, c’mon girl, perform! Popped loop, it’s hard to relax and enjoy her program when she looks so stressed out, nice edges and speed in the step sequence

 

[peibeck]

Elyce would have been a star in the 6.0 era.

That is all.

Lz q, A q. Seems generous.
