Worlds 2025 Women’s Free: “Make Amber Great A-Glenn”

[rfisher]

It's good to see Sofia here. The year the three Russian Sofias should have dominated junior worlds and didn't get to go through no fault of their own will always be a what might have been for them. I hope this move to KAZ continues to work for her. And, then a fall on a jump she can do in her sleep. Alas. She can work on her spins too.

 

[floridaice]

Such an unflattering frock for such a lovely skater.

She will be training full time with Raf in Southern California (I think that is the plan) - let's hope this helps!

 

[overedge]

Hahaha at the glam ad on the boards for the ISU awards, like they're the freaking Oscars or something.

The jumps were really solid to start the program, but started to get smaller after the half way point, and Sofia had nothing left going into the 2nd Lutz attempt.

117.78 = 2nd Place
181.36 = 2nd Place

 

[Wyliefan]

Lots of tired legs tonight.

 

[beckab81]

This would have been a monster score if she could have hit the last pass! She has gorgeous soft knees, so pleasant to watch!

 

[tangerine dream]

Wtf music and costume, but Sofia is a fighter. Until the last jumping pass it seemed like she couldn't miss!

 

[Rukia]

For whoever asked sofia's dress looks 1000 times better in person because it looks like 5 shades darker which makes all the difference lol

 

[LilJen]

I know someone did but I'd love to see it used again.

It's been called a euler for several years now. I haven't heard anyone say half loop in ages. It's Kirsten Moore-Towers.

"Oy-ler" is the correct pronunciation. Yeah, I'm an annoying pedant sometimes.

 

[Vagabond]

I jinxed Samodelkina. I was thinking that she could be the first skater of the night to have all green boxes. I will go to my room and have a timeout for fifteen minutes.

 

[overedge]

She's an excellent skater but this outfit is dire and so is the music. I feel sorry for her.

ETA: Also the spread eagles would have been more impressive if there weren't so many of them.

 

[Karen-W]

She will be training full time with Raf in Southern California (I think that is the plan) - let's hope this helps!

Yup. I would recommend she ask Alysa Liu to pass along Lisa MacKinnon's phone number. She can design well for Sofia's body type.

 

[Sally1214]

Great job, Sofia. Such a talented skater.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I know someone did but I'd love to see it used again.

It's been called a euler for several years now. I haven't heard anyone say half loop in ages. It's Kirsten Moore-Towers.

I’m thinking it’s a good idea she didn’t add her husband’s surname to hers. Kirsten Moore-Towers-Firius would be way too hard for Chris to say.

 

[peibeck]

Sofia's jumps are lovely. Her hands exquisite. I just get zero emotion.

 

[MacMadame]

That dress would be gorgeous in a different color.

 

[floridaice]

Yup. I would recommend she ask Alysa Liu to pass along Lisa MacKinnon's phone number. She can design well for Sofia's body type.

Yes! or you can take a trip down the coast and help her out

 

[Amy L]

Wtf music and costume, but Sofia is a fighter. Until the last jumping pass it seemed like she couldn't miss!

It's Dimash, he's a popular Kazakh singer. She's just being patriotic for her new country!

 

[floridaice]

That dress would be gorgeous in a different color.

with normal shoulders too

 

[Kateri]

Raf does not like that lowballed score.

 

[Karen-W]

I jinxed Samodelkina. I was thinking that she could be the first skater of the night to have all green boxes. I will go to my room and have a timeout for fifteen minutes.

Well, seeing as we've got an ice resurfacing next, you have excellent timing for your timeout, lol.

 

[Hanna]

Does Samodelkina actually have any connection to Kazakhstan other than ?

 

[MacMadame]

Yes! or you can take a trip down the coast and help her out

Hey, she can stop in on the way and help me with my weirdly sized JJ House prom dresses.

[Wyliefan]

Her dress is fugly, but her earrings are nice.

Lara moves up one.

 

[Sally1214]

Well, I"m off to set the table for brunch tomorrow. Will be back for the last 2 groups. Could be a bit of a nail-biter.

 

[MacMadame]

I'm going to make new cards. Are there any costume changes coming up? voiceovers?

Kazakh coach looks like he was partying hard last night.

 

[Kateri]

Does Samodelkina actually have any connection to Kazakhstan other than ?

Yes, family, apparently. I think someone said her mother was Kazakh, but don't quote me on that.
