Nebelhorn Trophy 2024 - Women's SP & FS

[Private Citizen]

Happy to see Dupuis ahead of Schizas, who is going nowhere. I'm a little surprised Schizas is trying for Milano-Cortina and will be more surprised if she makes it.

Katherine Ong Pui Kuan
3z << fall
3sal < fall
both jumps looked not bad in the air, general technique is there!
2a
that jump looked actually the worst in the flight phase but the only one she landed!

 

[Karen-W]

What about Yelim Kim? How is she doing?

No clue.

Ong Pui Kuan - she's in a pretty red dress with rose appliques and silver trim and the TV is on mute because I'm talking to my brother about our mom.

 

[Maximillian]

I heard a rumor that Isabeau had changed her short program to Breakfast at Tiffany's. Can anyone see whether she's got a tiara on?

I hope Amber Corwin lends her her's...

 

[Karen-W]

Lisko - teal green dress that ombres to white on the srists & hem, v-neck with stoning, open back also with stoning around the edges. This dress is kind of plain and the TV is still muted so her skating seems nice.

very good and quite mature in comparison to last year!

 

[Karen-W]

Stepcenko - black dress with some royal blue crystals/stoning on the bodice; her hair style makes her look like Amber Glenn from a distance, but not really. Finally off the phone with my brother - this repairman is going to find himself in a world of hurt if he talked our mom into moving forward with any repair work today before a request/claim is filed with her HOI provider and approval issued.

Sarah Marie Pesch - going off her costume - Burlesque? black with fuchsia stoning on a v-neck, black straps over the shouldes and around the upper arms, skirt is black that ombres into fuchsia. Not Burlesque - it's angsty emo crap - and she's down on her solo triple. It's going to be a long time before any decent German woman re-emerges on the competitive scene.

that was actually really decent from a mid tier German skater I never heard of before. Expected much worse!

actually in Junior ranks there are two very promising girls. It has been a long time that happened!

They've got some decent juniors, but I don't know how long it'll be before they hit seniors.

 

[Karen-W]

I know! But I hesitate on any juniors who are just 13-14 - they have another 3-4 seasons before they're eligible for seniors and a lot can happen in that time.

 

[Karen-W]

They've got some decent juniors, but I don't know how long it'll be before they hit seniors.

Gerke is just 13, IIRC. I looked her age up at her first JGP and she's in her first year of juniors, so she won't be senior eligible until 28-29.

GIVE ISABEAU A TIARA 2K24

 

[Wyliefan]

Tiffany's it is!

 

[Wyliefan]

And she's down.

 

[Rukia]

she looks like a girl who really loves moves in the field and works those a lot which is relatable but these jumps girl, they look like work

 

[Hedwig]

Isabeau LEVITO

3z3t
2a very soft
2.5 flip landed forwards, slipped away and bad fall

this program actually fits her like a glove!

 

[Karen-W]

Soooo, the rumor was definitely true about the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" SP change - this dress and looks is classic Audrey Hepburn. Absolutely no costume description required, lol. Eeesh - big sliding fall on the solo triple. Music change from traditional "Moon River" to a jazzier version for the steps - interesting choice. Hmmmmm... Not sure how I feel about the last section, the first part fits her wonderfully.

 

[Wyliefan]

Well ... on the one hand, I would have preferred the Audrey Hepburn vocals to the tinkly piano version. On the other hand, if anyone can pull off tinkly piano Moon River, it's Isabeau. On the other hand (I didn't know I had this many hands), points for incorporating some jazzy music to evoke the party scene, which I don't think anyone's ever done with a Breakfast at Tiffany's program before.

 

[Hedwig]

in the slow mo both jumps in the combo looked <

 

[PRlady]

Well she’s a credible Audrey Hepburn and the dress with pearls is cute. But it’s SO retro. As @Private Citizen said, her lutz is awful and she fell hard on the flip.

 

[Wyliefan]

If I ever become a conspiracy theorist, my theory of choice will be that Russia sent a coach here specifically to wreck the technique and the potential of one of our most promising women skaters.

 

[Wyliefan]

Donna Summer? Mone, are you aware you're not an ice dancer?

 

[Frau Muller]

Well, lucky to have E L-Gracey here.

 

[PRlady]

And because we are not getting enough disco this year….

 

[Debbie S]

U.S. Senior woman Jill Heiner is skating to Breakfast at Tiffany's for her FS. And has a good chance to make Nats. Sounds like she and Isabeau are wearing the same dress.

 

[skatfan]

Can’t access the scores - is it just me?

It's so weird too because her speed and technique on moves are so good, and usually that helps with jump technique. However, she totally freezes up going into a jump. It's like she doesn't trust them.
