Worlds 2024 Women SP: ‘Schizas of Montreal’

[airgelaal]

that's fine i just need your power

I'm not a blind fan though

 

[Karen-W]

If you were just to consider the short program placements as final, Japan, Korea, USA and Belgium would all have three ladies skaters next year

And Estonia and Switzerland would have two. I could be okay with this outcome for all of these countries.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

and Amber...

Think cup of Finland

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Well, I was mostly responding to all the people who were saying that we could drop down to 1 woman next season.

Well, that certainly a clever spin on your story

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I am thoroughly enjoying this World Championship so far.

I’m crediting it to the kiss and cry

 

[peibeck]

I’m crediting it to the kiss and cry

I'm crediting it to Matteo Guarise's pants.

But it’s really time for Italy to get its butt in gear in women’s to achieve two spots

Ehhhhhh... until they have a 2nd woman who displays some degree of consistency, they're fine with just 1 woman, lol.

Well until the competition just last week Lara always bombs the short program, but then gets like 126 in the free. Last week she finally had a good short program as well.

And she has really interesting programs.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I’m going to have words for the judge from Poland

This judge needs to be looked into.

 

[PRlady]

On a totally shallow note, I guess Kaori is growing her hair out but the braid is very elementary school.

And Isabeau is growing into a beautiful woman but she’s definitely had body changes which are probably playing havoc with her skating.

NBC has a habit of sharing awful jump technique in slo mo.

NBC Olympics & Paralympics on Instagram: "Amber Glenn’s speed in this combination. 🔥 She officially qualifies for the women’s free on Friday. #WorldFigure"

How this got +2 and +3 is beyond me. She’s crept into Ashley Wagner-style technique with both jumps and there’s no way that 3T should have been called clean.

[Cachoo]

Povey came to close to Q. After hearing her story I wanted her to advance. Argh.

 

[kemc]

Haein finally drew the "generic korean sparkly dress in a muted color" card this year

It was mermaid-y. I thought it even had scales in one of the closeups. So made sense to me…

 

[Lara]

Povey came to close to Q. After hearing her story I wanted her to advance. Argh.

Isn’t finishing 25th in the SP a consistent pattern for British skaters?

 

[mtnskater]

So happy to see Loena in first place after a fierce, confident skate. Brought down the house. Isabeau with her absolutely beautiful skating with lightness, style, extension…standing out from the rest of the field in that regard. Glad to see her more her normal competitive self. The Haein Lee we know and love showed up today. Good for her. Kaori tight but still the best double axel ever. Tough to defend a third in a row! Free skate….who knows!?!

 

[kemc]

The Sarah Brightman vocals don't help, though.

Totally prefer the instrumental version!

 

[skatingguy]

Play-by-play posts updated to reflect the protocols.

 

[kemc]

I adore Loena! We need her in this sport! Listen to that crowd respond to her! Oh my, the look on her face at the end of her program. So happy!

Biggest reaction of the SPs I think. She’s another powerful skater who is breathtaking live

 

[BittyBug]

Morricone is one of the greatest composers for films that ever lived. You should look him up on IMDB next time you’re looking for a movie to watch.

If you get the chance to see the Morricone documentsry, Maestro, don’t miss it.

 

[VanillaIce]

In the long let’s have much more Tonia and a lot less Mark.

 

[Frau Muller]

Awesome, now someone tranq that shouty man getting picked up on the mike- who hired him for commentary?

I just wrote about him in the TV commentaries thread. First he bugged me then made me laugh so hard that the tears washed off my make up…especially as his voice followed Loena’s moves. This guy was close to having a heart attack. “HOP HOP HOP….AAAAAHHHHH!” during each jump.

 

[Frau Muller]

I'm watching the English feed but you can hear the French Canadian commentator Alain Goldberg in the background and he's way too excited LOL.

Ah, so that the guy who kept me laughing!!! I hope that they have Medical Alert nearby.

 

[Kateri]

In the long let’s have much more Tonia and a lot less Mark.

I was going to say the opposite. If only they could put each person on a separate, toggleable audio feed!

 

[Frau Muller]

I sure hope that Amber can pull off a good free skate. She's gonna need it.

That’s my hope. In 1982, Zayak jumped from what position (7th or so) to WIN gold? Amber has it in her.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

that's the best part

Next year several skaters have planned bending over and shaking their behinds at judging panel.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Well, woke up to all this.

I am so happy with Loena. Her programs are angula, powerful and project. Great score

I think Levito was a little faster going into the jumps. Or is it wishful thinking

Glad to see You Young do well. It`s not top You but a long way out of the wilderness she`s been in.

What has happened to Grubanova?

 

[BittyBug]

What has happened to Grubanova?

She started off fine, but she had a jarring error on her combo - seemed to land the first jump fine but then didn't do the combo and almost came to a full stop. After that, her program just went flat.

Also, Rukavicin wasn't there with her so maybe that threw her off.

 

[zigzig]

Generous calling for Loena's jumps - very "q"-y to me on some of them but as always, tech panel turns a blind eye to her tech faults.

Isabeau seemed very nervy and tentative but glad she got everything in neatly and cleanly. Great program for her, even though I liked the snake charmer too.

Impressed by Haein - man does this girl know when to peak or what. Hope she can continue the momentum in the long.

Kaori - wish she did better, hope she can come back in the long. This season just feels off for her - both in programs, in messy slip ups throughout the season. Nervously awaiting the long for her.

Young You - nice to see her back. Love this program.

Chaeyeon - Love this program. The < on the 3T seems harsh given the free passes that other skaters have gotten but that's women's tech panel for ya.

Chiba - so annoyed she popped that lutz. Hope she comes back in the long.

Gomez - so glad she qualified. Was bummed she seemed on the cusp for a while but happy she slipped in.

---
Also, Tonia seems a random choice here. I really liked Adam and Ashley's Nationals commentary, would have preferred them with Mark instead.
