Skate Canada 2023 Womens FS - Splatatouille

[Holy Headband]

This program does nothing to highlight Kaori’s speed. A big miss for me. I hope neither Czech dance team ever goes to IAM if this is what you get.

They did remarkably well to hide LaLa and FBS's speed and power in their programs this season too.

 

[airgelaal]

Well done, girlz

 

[Wyliefan]

I think every singer can relate to having to fight an overzealous pianist tbh

And vice versa.

 

[Rukia]

Ms Hill was not having it.

I loved that, outside of the pianist getting outside his lane

I solve it by just accompanying myself hahaha

 

[Aceon6]

Kaori’s reaction is all the things.

 

[skatingguy]

And now "Dubroo." Does he have some sort of a mental block about her?

Adorable reaction to the scores!

I think it's the Scottish accent that makes it difficult to get around those French vowels.

 

[Rukia]

And vice versa.

oh I know. The number of times I'm trying to figure out how many beats to skip just to match the singer/player is...too many.

 

[marbri]

On the subject of eating stuffies. Is there a story behind Kaori's Scone or is it just weird random thing a fan made?

 

[Frau Muller]

Great Podium!

KAORI.
CHAEYEON
RINO

Following on the Jr GP tendencies. Japan & Korea forever.

 

[Colonel Green]

Madeline breaks her own previous record for highest post-Osmond placement for a Canadian woman on the Grand Prix; she was previously fifth in Espoo last year.

I think only Kaori can stop a Kaori threepeat at the World Championships.

 

[Lilia A]

Congrats to the medalists
Special congrats to Chaeyeon Kim on winning her first senior GP medal at her first senior GP assignment.
Also Maddie for having a nice comeback after the short and climbing all the way to 4th and 2nd in the free.

 

[Aceon6]

I think it's the Scottish accent that makes it difficult to get around those French vowels.

And inconsistency among the North American Quebequois, too. The farther south you go, the more likely it’s Dubrel which is how Bostonians say Faneuil… Fannel. Somewhere between Montreal and southern Maine, it slides into Dubreu. So we go Dubray… Dubreu… Dubrel.

Dullsville. 2005

 

[Wyliefan]

Late with this because of my dinner break, but Kaiya was such a heartbreaker. I'm glad she perked up in the K&C. And I'm glad Maddie came right after and gave the Canadians something to cheer them up.

Derailing the thread, but I still remember the day in my 10th grade French 2 class so.. 2001 or early 2002. We had an exam and one of the extra credit words was squirrel, and it had to be spelled correctly. I was the only person in the class who got it, and I said it's because a figure skater had the same spelling in her last name

But I always wondered, all those years, why her name is more like du-bray and squirrel is ay-kuhr-eye

 

[Icetalavista]

So Mr sexy French voice on the online pronunciation guide said “Dubroy”. I live in terror of saying French and Japanese names wrong. “Kay-or-eee” ?

kah-oh-ree, but the ka and o kind of slur together most of the time

I'll have to ask my Quebequois relatives how they'd say it. The way I've been saying all these years it sounds more like Dubrei/Dubray.

Dubray passes muster. The actual pronunciation is close to Dubray assuming you had a really bad nasally cold.

 

[Icetalavista]

So Kaori might sound like “cowrie”?

 

[honey]

I'll have to ask my Quebequois relatives how they'd say it. The way I've been saying all these years it sounds more like Dubrei/Dubray.

The rink announcer (not Rod Black lol, the actual announcer in the arena ) here is saying it how I have heard it said by people in Quebec.

Without the downgrade deductions, Lindsay would’ve been in second place for the free skate from my calculations. And may or may not have gotten the bronze

 

[mtnskater]

The programs I would watch again from the free skates are Rino and Lindsay. Rino skated with such joy and nice posture and beauty in her skating. Lindsay for me was just a wow, wow, wow with every spin position and move done to the fullest. So beautiful and so interesting. What an improvement from last year. Hopefully with a little more expression added to her amazing moves the judges will start giving her higher PCS and spin GOE, etc.

Congrats to Maddie for hitting a clean skate. And to Kaori for the win. She was as surprised at her high score as I was But she is so likable! Can’t deny her skating skills.

I haven’t checked the protocols for everybody yet, was it downgrade city across the board?

I mean, we should’ve sent in Amber

 

[tony]

Kaori with all +3 and one +1 for her 'Lutz', no ! let alone the full e.

It's criminal. Still on my soapbox to just call the jump based on the take-off edge rather than what skaters claim it is. That forces the panel (in theory) to actually look.

 

[Lilia A]

Dubray passes muster. The actual pronunciation is close to Dubray assuming you had a really bad nasally cold.

I'm terrible at "writing" pronunciation, especially with French words. I'll ask my dad and then speak it to him, but he'll probably tell me I'm wrong regardless because he always finds flaws with my French

 

[Rukia]

So Kaori might sound like “cowrie”?

kind of? Basically every syllable should get it's own beat so it's not exactly the same, but it's pretty close.
