Skate Canada 2023 Women SP - Twirl One, Splat Two

[MacMadame]

When she started I thought this was going to be awesome, but it was a little blah. I hope when she gets more mileage into it she can rock it.

Me too. I think it really suits her though and should be great by season's end. (Or sooner!)

I think she's over her growing pains.

 

[Amy L]

I still don't get it. <feeling dumb>

But I'm distracted wondering why people feel the need to announce a thread is beneath them. Just leave!

Starr sang her own SP music a few seasons ago.

She performed it quite well in one of the NQS events, but this time it was way subdued. GP nerves maybe?

Last week’s sponsor: eggs. This week’s sponsor: chickens.

Well I guess now we know which one came first

 

[ilovesalchows]

... but there's a lot of arm-ography instead of choreography. ...

That's going around this season

 

[Holy Headband]

Is this an Avatar program...

Last week’s sponsor: eggs. This week’s sponsor: chickens.

That's the answer then - the egg came first

Folks are going to either love or hate Starr's music choice. I really enjoyed it a lot. That colour of dress is stunning on her. Overall, I liked her performance. It's okay to be outside the box .... I know Toller would back me solidly on that! Has anybody ever heard Starr sing??

 

[MacMadame]

She skated to her own vocals often in the past.

 

[Colonel Green]

TES disaster for Gutmann.

 

[airgelaal]

Lara Naki definitely has her own unique style.

 

[Jay42]

Is this an Avatar program...

Like The Last Airbender? The music has a very 70's movie soundtrack vibe to it so I don't think so.

 

[tony]

This is Gusmeroli's music from her 2002 free skate that was just so, so, so bad.

But Lara is constantly giving us unique vibes and disaster shorts, only to really come back in the free skate.

 

[Rukia]

Well this has been a bit rough

 

[Holy Headband]

First time I've ever seen one of those ugly kicks out of a spin timed to the music.

 

[flyingsit]

This program could be cool, but she doesn’t have enough power for it.

 

[Ananas Astra]

I like Gutmann's costume, but I don't get the idea behind the program. Roman slave doing a serpent's dance? Cheerleader at the Coliseum? Or something entirely different?

 

[rfisher]

Not sure if the back of Gutman's catsuit is a spider web or a vanilla Shibari.

 

[Holy Headband]

I was being facetious, but no, I meant the Cameron movies.

 

[marbri]

TES disaster for Gutmann.

A real shame because there is so much to love in this program and her skating.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I kind of like this music, but I feel like Gutmann could be doing a lot more with it. This program should be really voidy, but it's just not quite there.

 

[Rukia]

omg i hate this music so much but also I kind of love it

 

[ilovesalchows]

This feels like the music from a 70's TV action show.

 

[Amy L]

This might have been competitive in the early aughts at Canadian Nationals, but she's gonna get hammered here & now.

 

[topaz]

I like the Italian's costume and music choice is interesting. But the jumps, line and posture need improvement.

 

[peibeck]

Gutmann: Some interesting movement, but the energy dropped 5-fold after the fall on the 3t/3t combo.

 

[jennysk8oboe]

Who else skated to Gutman’s music?? Duchenay’s??

 

[Satellizer]

She needs to extend that leg.

 

[Vagabond]

Mark sighs with exasperation at the doible flip, and so do I. Some day, though, Gutmann will break through.

 

[jenny12]

I think this is a pretty cool program.Problems with the jumps but I like the program a lot.

 

[Karen-W]

Can Lara Naki be less committed to the culturally outdated "Indian war dance" movie soundtrack music? Wow. Just. I'm...

Yeah, Mark, definitely NOT a "safe" music choice, for so many reasons.
