Worlds 2025 Women SP: “She Works Hard For The Mone (So You Better GOE Her Right)”

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Chiba... That's kind of very podium skate at the junior worlds. Not bad but not extremely exciting. I wouldn't have had her second.

Petrokina .. first of all, how did they manage to make her look 35. Secondly, I didn't think this program was such a good idea - it doesn't have enough excitement to carry the performance of things don't go well.

This is my biggest issue with lenient calling. Mone should be in first, she had a cleaner skate. I LOVE Alyssa & Wakaba, but both of them got some gifts from the callers.

IMHO Mone skated a little “junior”. She reminded me of Kwan at her first worlds. I think that was the difference.

This sport has a huge problem with body policing. Armchair judging the health or appropriateness of a skater's body does far more harm than good.

Body policing in encouraging skaters to be thin, but not in responding or helping when skaters might encounter problems in trying to meet that ideal.

I said I hoped she was healthy and eating well, and I'm going to leave it at that.

Amber looks like an assassin as she takes the ice, lol.

I tink I'm missing at least one Chris-ism. Here is what I have so far:


Armography
Cutouts
dream/ perfect start
Face touching
Fist pump
Heart hands/ arms
Music from movie/TV
Music from musical
Knee slide
Obvious warhorse
Superstar artist
Tribute program
whickety-whack

Go Amber

 

[Karen-W]

Whoops - they left Kaori out of the graphics for the intros!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK time to take my antacids, my Percocet and my lorazepam.

Which 3 are we trading out for Liu, Chiba, and Higuchi to make the last group?

 

[Elisheba]

It will be a humdinger of a final group!

 

[overedge]

Queen Kaori is in the house

Neon for Mone's dress?

Qing Pang admitted to chewing food, spitting it out and not swallowing.

She didn't look skarily thin in real life: she gained no weight from the camera. Of course weight has nothing to do with nutrition, but I was about six feet from her for quite a while, and I was really surprised.

 

[Matryeshka]

Petrokina feeling the pressure of being European Champ get to her. Though to be fair, had she not had that lightening-in-a-bottle moment at Euros, that would have been considered a good, solid skate for her. I think 7th right now is a reasonable place for Niina if you take out that one competition.

If you have not started drinking yet, now's the time.

Pinzarrone, Gubanova and ???

Gubanova, Pinzarrone & Levito.

 

[dupa]

I haven't been this pumped for a laideezzzzz event in forever. (Even Pushkin' showed up ) Wheeeee!

 

[MacMadame]

Neon for Mone's dress?

Oh yeah, I called it but didn't write it down. Neon/ highlighter

 

[thvu]

Gubanova, Pinzarrone & Levito.

Works for me.

 

[miffy]

I’ll throw in some tramadol for good measure

 

[skipaway]

Kaori didn’t get the wear black note

 

[MacMadame]

Gubanova, Pinzarrone & Levito.

Those are my picks. But it feels mean because I have nothing against them.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Amber looks terrified.

 

[Debbie S]

I must have missed this....can someone tell me why Belgium only has 1 woman here....they did qualify 2 spots last year, right? No one else had the score mins?

 

[Private Citizen]

What did Glenn pick up off the ice? Was it hair? She was making quite a face, like it was something disgusting.

 

[fan]

Is kaori’s name really pronounced Kay-o-ree? I thought it was cow-ri?

 

[susieB129]

I love how Gubanova and Glenn STRODE out. We're ladies, thankyouverymuch. None of this running ish for us. (Hair toss)

 

[Karen-W]

Works for me.

I mean, the reality is, if Isabeau skates clean, we're going to have 7 women with 70+ in the SP today, and I can see Wakaba being on the short end of the stick because I can't see a clean Isabeau scoring less than 73.

Loena is injured, and Jade did not qualify with her technical

See, I'd have had her fourth, though a close fourth. I love the subjectivity of the SP.
