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

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

What unexpected total standing, wow. And Amber is only 6 1/2 points away from bronze.

 

[Colonel Green]

Madeline makes the final group!

Oh dear, not sure that pressure will be beneficial in the free.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

This time last year Alysa was retired, one year later, she’s leading the short program at worlds.

 

[Alilou]

OMG OMG OMG Maddie makes the final flight Who would have thought?!

 

[Private Citizen]

What unexpected total standing, wow. And Amber is only 6 1/2 points away from bronze.

We could still easily end up with Glenn and Sakamoto on the podium.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh boy, do I have a lot to catch up on!

 

[her grace]

Vasiljevs skated to Tron back in the day and it was quite brilliant.

Hubbell/Donohue, too!

 

[Jammers]

Why am i not surprised that Alysa and Isabeau finished ahead of Amber? The mental game is a big part of being a champion.

FYI: We are not playing BINGO during the Remembrance performances.

Fight me

Well, this has been fun. Not quite what I expected the standings to be after the SP. But, when you look at the top 5 right now, the FS could be one WICKED competition. Anything could happen and I can't wait to see it all play out.

See you all in a couple of hours for the Pairs SP. GO, CANADA, JAPAN AND GERMANY (and, of course, everybody else too).

 

[Matryeshka]

Amber Glenn 9th. Climbing 6 places for the podium is not out of the realm of possibility. And Alysa, so far, has done worse in the LP than the SP. It's going to be fun!

 

[danafan]

Maddie makes the final group for the free!? OMG

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Correction Amber is less than six points away from Branson over seven points away from the the lead.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I’m expecting lots of chaos in the free program standings.

We could still easily end up with Glenn and Sakamoto on the podium.

And my math is off, she’s closer than that.

 

[Cachoo]

Do you think Nina's score is low?

 

[Hedwig]

this panel is.... something

Not to shit on Schizas but a level four step sequence? Really?

And not even a q for Amber on the axel or the combo? I had to see it for myself....

 

[Aussie Willy]

I haven't had a chance to watch this but seeing Liu at the top of the standings after the SP must be the comeback of the century. Good for her.

Madeline makes the final group!

Oh dear, not sure that pressure will be beneficial in the free

I’ve decided that it’s better for her to skate first after the warmup then to have to wait to skate last in her warmup group. She has less time to overthink things and she won’t hear other skaters scores right before she skates.

 

[Kateri]

I thought Liu had the performance of the night, and was maybe even lowballed on PCS, but the fact she's winning the tech mark is ridiculous. Her jumps were nnnnot great.

 

[Jarrett]

Random comment but Alysa’s layback to close the program was fantastic. I hope she can replicate that again to close the long.

 

[Jarrett]

She had the best spins though at least me to me.

What's with judge number 4? Gave Higuchi and Kurakova the same score for skating skills. I'm no PCS expert but I'm pretty sure that's not right.

 

[skipaway]

USFS bought the , callers anyway

I am sure that the judges got threatened to be “primaried” if they didn’t comply.

Her getting a level 4 steps seems far from the most egregious overlooking of errors that happened.

I will say they seemed to be equally generous with pretty much everyone, which is better than picking and choosing who you nitpick I guess.
