3Lz<< - opened mid air
3F+COMBO - fall
Flying Camel Spin 4
Step Sequence 2
2A
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Sit Spin 4

A rough skate with both of the opening jumps not being close to fully rotated.

-1.00 = Falls
40.63 = 7th Place

 

[HaNguyen]

Hmm. We seem to have lost the tech box for the Chinese skater. Hopefully, we’ll get it back soon.

Music: Frozen by Madonna

3S+3T - toeloop landing was tight
2A
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
3F
Step Sequence 4
Flying Camel Spin 4
Layback Spin 4

We seem to have lost the technical tracker.

Very nice skate from Ruiyang completing all the technical elements. Not sure about a connection to the music, but the best Chinese women's skater we've seen recently.

62.78 = 3rd Place

 

[rfisher]

I was expecting Petrosian to have improved from when I last saw her on the JGP a million years ago.

She was injured over the summer. She has improved significantly.

 

[HaNguyen]

Yep, the tech tracker came back for the next skater.

3F<< - fall
3S+2T
Flying Sit Spin 3
2A
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 2
Layback Spin 4

Just didn't quite snap the flip properly, ended up on a severe lean, and a down-graded jump. The performance overall was quite good, and a piece of music that we don't hear as often.

-1.00 = Falls
43.16 = 8th Place

Flying Sit Spin 4
2A - two-footed, fall

I seem to have lost the feed between the start of the program until after the triple flip attempt.

Tsz Ching struggled to maintain the performance after getting off to a good start.

-1.00 = Falls
43.38 = 9th Place

 

[Elisheba]

Omg the bowtie on Tsz Ching Chan's coach!

I seem to have lost the feed between the start of the program until after the triple flip attempt.

yes, me as well, I am catching up again and not seeing live and I rewound back a few seconds - it is really missing.

 

[PRlady]

I thought it was our flukey TV.

Been watching since Nargaz, will watch Petrosian later. So far no surprises including zero performance from Safanova.

I was still napping, after watching Group 1 live, and only woke up as she was finishing her skate - I missed the "blip"

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I’m not into this as much as I thought I would be, but I think I’ve got the top five correct.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

although if she’s going to do Sasha Cohen circa 2002, I’m back into it

Antonina Dubinina
Coach: Maria Butyrskaia
Music: My Sweet and Tender Beast by E. Doga

3Lz< - off-axis, hand down
3F<+2T
Flying Camel Spin 4
2A - no flow/speed on landing
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 2
Layback Spin 3

Things were stiff, and tight, and it never really got any better throughout the program.

-1.00 = Time Violation
43.59 = 9th Place

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I wouldn’t mind seeing a second Canadian skater here or a second Italian skater here. Too bad they couldn’t qualify such.

Otherwise, it’s kind of a snooze.

Holy moly are you trying to tell me that’s queen Maria B on the right????

Speaking of 2002 I just love nostalgia, remember Maria in Salt Lake City?



Hmmmmm I wonder if Maria was a fan of Sasha, because she got the exact same music cut of Sasha’s.

Kristina has a very unique look in skating, and this music worked well to present a unique & memorable package. A couple of technical issues but nothing major.

57.36 = 5th Place

 

[PRlady]

Liked OES Estonian a lot - obscure music, unusual costume, cool SS.

Julija Lovrencic

Step Sequence 3
Flying Camel Spin 2 (4 after review)
Layback Spin 4

Another unique music choice that worked well with the skater, and that the skater was able to use to their advantage. Technical elements were solid, but the Lutz is probably under-rotated.

51.94 = 8th Place

 

[Wyliefan]

I think that's the gutsiest combo save I've ever seen.

3Lz< - fall
Flying Camel Spin 4

Lots of errors piling up. The program didn't really seem to connect to the music, and a performance.

-1.00 = Falls
41.84 = 15th Place

 

[Wyliefan]

That's funny, Gubs dressed up as Loena to compete against Loena.

 

[Colonel Green]

Maybe a career best for Gomez.

 

[Elisheba]

Gomez isn't going down with a fight!

I'm having a very strong memory watching Risa Gomez four years ago, and that she imploded when she was in a position to earn a spot at the Olympics. A wonderful skate, and lovely performance.

59.30 = 4th Place
