Women's FS - 2023 World University Games

Eva Lotta after the break And Kucvalska landing jumps again is the best kind of time warp

 

[Sylvia]

“Interesting” version of POTO - jumps Joanna So (HKG) landed well: 3T+2T, 2A, 3S+1Eu+2S, 3T+2T, 3S & final 2A.

ETA: 95.44 in FS, 149.85 3rd.

 

[her grace]

Nice held layback position from So. Jumps are pretty small, but completed well with strong glide out. Panel may want to look at rotations on some of them. Good skate.

 

[ioana]

Joanna's jumps are very light when done well. Also, I like the wing tattoo on her neck, but want a more badass program to go with it .

Is this a new costume for Eva-Lotta? If so, I like it!

 

[Sylvia]

I just remember Eva-Lotta had a gold dress before - is this different?
that she's still struggling.

 

[4rkidz]

Eva just doing doubles, seems so dejected, shame she must still be struggling. Oh i missed she did a triple flip. I thinks its the same dress?

 

[her grace]

Kiubus has lots of expression in her program and good basics and speed. But jumps were very off today

She had a darker one piece gold dress during last season, but this is very nice, I agree. Less said about the skate, the better

I'm glad her coach is trying to be supportive -- hard to watch her with her head bowed.

I just did an image search - her FS dress from earlier in the season was shades of blue, white & black. I remember at Nebelhorn calling it a tribute to the Estonian flag!

She is definitely still struggling and it makes me too because you can see the quality in her skating and presentation.

Emily Saari (AUT) is skating to the Sabrina film soundtrack (1995). Coach Viktor Pfeifer is here with her.

ETA: Her jumps were much better yesterday.

Saari

Setting a mood with arm movements to open. doesn’t seem to quite have her feet underneath her on her jumps. Underwhelming skate.

 

[ioana]

This is turning into a bit of a splatfest. Please get your timing back before last group!

Did you really think it would be anything less than a splatfest when you looked at the start list?

 

[honey]

Ting withdrew because of covid related issues with her heart She got covid a few weeks ago and is having issues with high heart rate and lightheadedness.

I hoped it would be a reasonably well skated group. I know some of them exceeded expectations in the short. But last two skates were definitely disastrous.
Gozhva trying her best to get us back on track

 

[Sylvia]

Gozvha (UKR): very nice 3Lz+2A (10+ points!), 2A+1Eu+2S, 1F, 3Lo+2T “(beautiful combo” says Kwong), 3Lo fall, 2T, 2S.

Nice to hear the audience showing their warm support again!

 

[her grace]

Gozvha

Timing looks good on jumps so far . Nice unitard look. Okay, wheels are coming off on the jumps. Too bad, she started well. Nice spins at end of program

 

[her grace]

Seeing the supportive crowd and the big multi-sport Games feel, I can see why a skater might want to compete here rather than 4CC.

 

[her grace]

Feigin

Good start for Feigin. Then some doubles. She could hold her movements more and breathe more life into the choreography.

 

[ioana]

Kucvalska to save the group, like it's 2016 Euros

This young lady has the worst luck

 

[her grace]

Kucvalska

Striking beginning, 3z not all the way around, she’s performing the program, jumps looked like work and unfortunately not many triples. Audience sounds appreciative

 

[Sylvia]

I assume 'Kucvalska' is a typo/data entry error in the results - it's 'Kuchvalska' in her ISU bio.

 

[ioana]

about that lunge into a fall when she tried to hold onto her second 3toe, but this still one of the better outings from Angelina. Please use it to build the rest of the season. Really enjoyed the in-betweens and choreo.

eta: Top 10 finish!

Think it's all about how you transliterate into English. ch is the accurate pronunciation. Kučvaļska

 

[Debbie S]

Haven't heard Legends of the Fall in a while. Good job by Dabin, happy to see her again. Very graceful.

 

[her grace]

Choi

Feels like forever since I’ve seen her skate. Graceful beginning. Pitched far forward on jump take-offs, but landing them, so nice. Elegant and mature.

 

[ioana]

Dabin's flying camel entry covers so much ice She also landed more jumps than basically last group combined , despite that weird high kick in her flip and lutz. Really light across the ice and some nice moments.

eta: Demonstrating proper crown positioning in the KnC
