Worlds 2024 Women FS: ‘Where Have All The Knitters Gone?’

[Desperado]

Again: "I love seeing happy skaters in pretty costumes."

 

[tony]

Okay, I take it back. She didn't even get an 8 average in PCS. She will move up, but not flirting with the top skaters in the free skate.

 

[Simone411]

Good for Kimmie!

 

[peibeck]

I disagree with those PCS being sooooo close to Chiba. Great skate, but her skills aren't Japanese level.

 

[Simone411]

good triple flip, double axel!

 

[MacMadame]

I have one cat doing that! But with the other I had an "OK, just this once you can go outside" situation, which ended with me searching the yard for the miscreant, thus missing both Josefin & Kurakova.

I told the stupid people to shut up for Josefin.

Kaiser's jump technique is slightly weird.

 

[Matryeshka]

I disagree with those PCS being sooooo close to Chiba. Great skate, but her skills aren't Japanese level.

Penultimate boost

 

[tony]

Switzerland in a few years is going to be really stacked internationally. I said it earlier here and earlier in the season. Van Troyen has built such a program there.

 

[MacMadame]

Here's our Songbirds and Snakes music for the one who asked for it.

 

[Lanie]

Something so weird about Kaiser's posture or is it just me

 

[Badams]

I'm kinda bored. But her dress is very pretty.

 

[thvu]

Benoit skaters really don't do well-balanced programs.

 

[tony]

Something so weird about Kaiser's posture or is it just me

Not refined in the slightest, shoulders all over the place and getting higher and she gets more tired. But she's delivering and I think her dress is really stunning.

 

[Rukia]

Kaiser's head and neck move differently from the rest of her body and it is kind of jarring? and then her arms don't have enough tension

she's getting through this though i guess

 

[Jay42]

I'm going to backtrack to Kimmy for a second here because I was eating while she was skating and couldn't put my food down easily. I hope that she and her team can maybe talk to Carolina for advice on how to skate while also very long. She did well today but she still seems like she doesn't quite know what to do with her limbs yet and I think Carolina could help.

 

[thvu]

Something so weird about Kaiser's posture or is it just me

Kaiser's shoulders are really stiff to me.

Another very good skate for Kaiser. Everything just a little tight, and stiff, and it will help her scores in the future if she soften some of her movements, and have the movement come from her core.

123.19 = 4th Place
187.24 = 3rd Place

 

[Wyliefan]

Mark's little "oohs" and "mmms" can be a little disconcerting because it's hard to tell whether they're happy or sad.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, the smile on Livia's face as she comes to the end of her program! She wasn't about to let herself fall on any of those jumps, come hell or high water. She should be very proud of herself today.

 

[MacMadame]

Something so weird about Kaiser's posture or is it just me

I think it's her arms. She does weird things with them.

 

[Frau Muller]

Livia did so well. Another great Swiss skater!

 

[peibeck]

Kaiser lays down a pretty good skate too. Those first jumps had great height.

 

[Matryeshka]

Switzerland really setting themselves up nicely for the next quad.

Kaiser did really well in her first Worlds--solid in short and free, reliable, did well enough to get spots for next year on the GP but not so much that she'll have a ton of pressure/attention.

 

[Rukia]

Benoit skaters really don't do well-balanced programs.

art doesn't have to be well-balanced stop trying to hamper his creativity

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I feel like this dress came from them hearing the word "Grey" and deciding to follow it.

 

[airgelaal]

I have a fresh cup of coffee. Just in time

 

[susieB129]

Repond and Kaiser would both do well this offseason to learn how to take better advantage of those enviably long long long arms and legs. Switzerland has a great future in them.

 

[Karen-W]

I feel like this dress came from them hearing the word "Grey" and deciding to follow it.

She saw Gubanova's dress from 2 years ago and said "yes, but more sparkles."

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Mark talking about the actual composition of the program and the scoring of the components like we should expect those to be related.

 

[TAHbKA]

The Swiss coaches are ridiculously gorgeous
