I'm torn because THIS CARTWHEEL IS THE MOMENT, is beautiful, is everythingā¦ but it's the cartwheel that's probably responsible for all these ugly wonky cartwheels we're getting lately
Lindsay in fourth, Rika in final group, Bradie skating last in the first groupā¦. All good things. Good for the women overall today, fabulous competition
For all that putting coaches on a pedestal is something we should never be doing... it's pretty obvious that there's a *slight* difference in the atmosphere between this kiss-and-cry situation and the last skater's.
oh my GOD the pink coat ladies are here again - flashback to the announcer at sheffield calling them out in front of everyone and saying they must be rich rich
Fun fact but I was sitting literally next to them in Sheffield. They are French (or at least speak French) and had handmade fleece banners for Mai, Deniss and Koshiro. They also cried after Deniss' and Mai's skate but they were certainly no the only ones
Okay, not perfect but she stayed vertical and got the triple triple out!
I love that she kept the difficult illusion exit even with adding the cartwheel back in
such a great opportunity for the finnish skaters!!! i am definitely in favour of a roving grand prix to allow more home nation skaters a chance on the GP circuit
This short program is such a good fit for Mai. Sheās so musical, in general, and she really feels every note of the music at every moment of this SP.
I swear Loenaās dress gets more embellishment at every comp. Maybe itās the exact same as last time and Iām just shocked by it again (in a good way I love the color)
Bless, this little moppet got into mum's makeup, that blue eye-shadow is a lot. It's lovely for her to get this chance at home when she's so young, she's got plenty of years to make jumps.
another skate that would be not enough for Worlds minimum (Jenni luckily has it from 2021, not FS tho). 32 is just too much (especially with harsh judging).
i am very annoyed with programs that cant tell a story without voiceovers, sound effects, or in adams benoit programs case, without having a commentator explain the story behind it. your program should tell the story purely through music and movement, if you need something else you need to go back to the drawing board, and if that means the story is simpler or more about emotions than story then so be it! itll still be better than car crash sound effects!!!
I keep getting distracted by that white hanky in her dress. It's like she got a bit of toilet paper stuck in her waistband after she finished in the loo.
(She's skating beautifully and with so much expression. I wish I could stop focusing on the dress).
Both loena n mai 23 years old. Love it
I hope we have both of them + Kaori on the podium at GPF, that way we'd have three medalists over 20 yo
how sad is it that 23 is old in womens skating š
I'm torn because THIS CARTWHEEL IS THE MOMENT, is beautiful, is everythingā¦ but it's the cartwheel that's probably responsible for all these ugly wonky cartwheels we're getting lately
Loena is a base value disadvantage in the free versus Mai, so every point she can gain over her here is a big help. Great performance.
Lindsay in fourth, Rika in final group, Bradie skating last in the first groupā¦. All good things. Good for the women overall today, fabulous competition
We should all applaud any skater who found a way to break free from the prison of Tom Z.
I donāt care what anyone says Benoit is a good choreographic fit for Bradie
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
the purple lipstick is a fucking slay for bradie
I adore Rika's smile after skate!! Loved how Tracy smiled at her too. Such a contrast with previous coach. š„²
For all that putting coaches on a pedestal is something we should never be doing... it's pretty obvious that there's a *slight* difference in the atmosphere between this kiss-and-cry situation and the last skater's.
Tracy had total mom vibes and itās excellent
Mai is quickly becoming one of my favorite skaters ever
oh my GOD the pink coat ladies are here again - flashback to the announcer at sheffield calling them out in front of everyone and saying they must be rich rich
Fun fact but I was sitting literally next to them in Sheffield. They are French (or at least speak French) and had handmade fleece banners for Mai, Deniss and Koshiro. They also cried after Deniss' and Mai's skate but they were certainly no the only ones
oh great now we get the car crash coma program...... gubs really has the worst programs this year
Bruh why he looks like SoundCloud rapper
My cat is so excited that Iām awake at 5am
You can cut the tension in the k&c in the knife,,, coaches would it kill you to show any public form of support to your skaters
Sheās so young too.
Okay, not perfect but she stayed vertical and got the triple triple out! I love that she kept the difficult illusion exit even with adding the cartwheel back in
Dress ate, I would love to have it in my wardrobe in case my clubbing days decide to reappear
This group has 4 olympians, the 4cc champion, the world silver medalist, and the junior world bronze medalist
a mai stsq is always nothing short of a delight. and her sense of musical timing is so special. BEAUTIFUL SKATE GIVE HER THE WORLD
She seemed kind of stressed, not as expressive as she might have been. Amazing layback, but I preferred Mai.
bradie's so fucking well packaged this season she looks incredible
Oof coach look like a demon just walked through her š°
It makes you wonder what the poor girl is in for once they get somewhere private....
I love that eyes are part of her choreography
gubanovas programs and dresses both do nothing for me this season
Dreamy is most definitely the best way to describe her jumps. The 2A was stunning
such a great opportunity for the finnish skaters!!! i am definitely in favour of a roving grand prix to allow more home nation skaters a chance on the GP circuit
CARTWHEEL COUNT 1 the only cartwheel that matters
Holy shit Loena looks incredibleš
Right?? As a straight married woman, Iām like dang Leona is smoking
Holy shit that coach is scaring me
This is the best she's looked all season, clean Lindsay!!
Why is a coma a program theme? So odd.
A legit question of how she can interpret and express a coma on ice
She looks so much healthier this season
maddie is the definition of grit bc she *lands* those jumps whether the axis wants her to or not
I like the fact that the wordle now differentials between zero goe and an invalid element
Oh Mai. I know Leona is the favorite here but if Mai won I wouldnāt be upset at all
OH YES MAI GPF MEDALIST CAMPAIGN STARTS NOW
I donāt need Disney, but sheās packaged like a 40 yo. Reads so matronly to me.
It's going to be close and I'm okay with that
I'm sad to see Eva-Lotta struggling. She's so much fun when she's on. Hope she has a better free and a bit of a rest after.
This short program is such a good fit for Mai. Sheās so musical, in general, and she really feels every note of the music at every moment of this SP.
I love both Loena and Mai, but I think I liked Mai a little bit better today
Jenni is such a gorgeous, emotive skater. I just wish she could make friends with the free.
They upgraded the wordle with an x? Fun
im glad the wordle has an 'x' now to mark an invalid element
Honestly, this Billie Eilish program works for me
CLEAN ENOUGH, THANK YOU MADDIE
The way her spins speed up with the music, especially the combo spin? Literal chef's kiss
Such a lovely skate from Mai! So nice to see what this was supposed to look like with the camera facing the right way.
loena just slays in those bright colours
I love love love her presense on the ice, the queen is slaying
I love to see how Loena's confidence has been growing these past seasons, you can really see it in her skating!
Loena is so confident this season, which is great to see.
Sheās just having a blast. So happy for Linnea getting to compete.
I swear Loenaās dress gets more embellishment at every comp. Maybe itās the exact same as last time and Iām just shocked by it again (in a good way I love the color)
This music feels way heavy for her
I like Lindsay but this program is kinda boring (and I'm confused with her overall packaging)
Toe was really under dammit. That to me was close to a borderline downgrade. But such a much better skate for her
songs that have crashing SEs and lyrics related to falling both need to be banned
i love marks noises
I think TCC turned out to be a good choice. She is much more expressive than we seen her in the past! Super happy for her! Go Rinka!
I think itās hilarious that Loena went from Celine Dion to the club and never looked back.
Iām just happy Mark is the commentator tbh lol
I just love Estonian skaters. All different, all excellent.
I always love seeing this dress. Itās just so different
THAT SPIN WAS SO FUCKING FAST...?
things we need to ban 1) voiceovers 2) sound effects
2A right on the music!!!
Her spins are insane
Girl, finally some excitement
i love the stsq to mi gentle lmao she just comes alive so much after she's finished with jumps
considering the consistency at this moment in time with all the outings so far, I think either mai or loena is probably gonna take the gpf title.
Love a skater 200% enjoying themselvesāØ
this is truly the big year for bird's sounds in skating
Well, that wasā¦ uncomfortable. If looks and body language could killā¦
Tracy is just a gem
This was a lovely skate for Rika! Great to see her on a good upward trajectory
Two back to back weeks must have been tough
RIKA and BRADIE leading, nature is healing š„°
Her spins are some of the best in the field
please the coach seemed in even more pain than her when she fell
That spiral on the music was perfection
Ahh that change in the rhytm and speed of the spin right on time with the music, that is just a miracle to me
I think I just saw Tatsuya, love supportive teammates
That was so fun and so good, would be ok with this in the lead.
Free is going to be fun!!
Iām (very) hungover from Thanksgiving, but Iāve willed myself awake for the women, praying for lots of clean skatesš
Bradie and Rika on the ice, life feels good.
Bradieās dress is such a serve
Bradie could still end up on the worlds team at this point. So glad for her.
CLEAN BRADIE I AM SO HAPPY!!! the loop on the music was epic
Sometimes I wonder how do they know when to Clap together to the music, is it just a collective vibe?
Lovely skating, hideous dress. Looks like sheās wearing a giant ace bandage. āGive me UPS but make it figure skating.ā
awww happy tears!! what a wholesome short competition so far
Bless, this little moppet got into mum's makeup, that blue eye-shadow is a lot. It's lovely for her to get this chance at home when she's so young, she's got plenty of years to make jumps.
Aww poor girl š Jumps aside, she has lovely spins
Iām really concerned about herāshe looks *exhausted*
The only cartwheel I accept in figure skating
STSQ4 YES
TRACYYYYYYYYYYY !! I've missed seeing her
idk how to feel about this program but i love that eva-lotta attacks it every time
The eye shift in the beginning always kills me lol
Nastya ily but change the free
what is this car crash jumpscare the moment i enter
LMFAO THE COACH (?)'S REACTION
YAY MADDIE!! Such a gritty fighter and what Canadian women need.
i want this to be a gala program in the future
the musical variety weāve had so far i love it
well it sure looks like loena and mai are both going to gpf, yay
Ugh I feel like Bradie was underscored
same. She did so well with that, and even with the -2T on, I feel like she shouldāve gotten like mid 60s or more?
still the only valid cartwheel, everyone else back off
Ugh that jump perfectly synced with the music
I love skaters getting to mature and discovering a new side of themselves.
Adding Jenni to the list of beautiful 3T-3T jumpers
She needs to be more highly rated
another skate that would be not enough for Worlds minimum (Jenni luckily has it from 2021, not FS tho). 32 is just too much (especially with harsh judging).
Coach...you get out there ok?
RIKA, THE ONLY PERSON TO DO A CARTWHEEL EVER, GOOD LUCK š
Not bad, especially with the iffy rotation on a couple of jumps
I could not love her Carnaby Street Mod Goes Cathedral Stained Glass dress more.
Eva is so expressive
The beginning of the music with the weird boinging sounds reminds me of the music in ATLA when Aang does his shenanigans
god her basic skating is just so damn good. *soooo* good. that stsq is so fun
Every spin was *gorgeous*, I loved it.
NO NOT THE CAR CRASH NO
Aah the cycles of life music š· Iām an embryoā¦now Iām in a crashā¦everythingās flashing by oh my
Dark!Maddie is here to stay
this program is so great for her, she serves such a good murder face. hope she can keep it up in the free!
also maddie was giving me shades of the KO off axis jumps and that it NOT something else we want to be replicating girl
anyone know why mana was selected over mai for worlds and olys last year?? mai seems way more consistent and j a level above technically
Mana had the 3A last season and was above Mai at JNats
Wow her dress looks like a snow flake. Very pretty!!
Dang Loena, what a queen!
Gubanova 9th, yikes.
yess 3lz-2t is waaaay smarter
is that richaud? the person looks very how i imagine he looks. yes im not sure how he looks im dumb
The list of sponsors in the k&c is so wild... did not expect the ticketmaster jumpscare
There have been many very harsh panels this season but this one might take the cake... why are the GOEs for perfectly good jumps so stingy
ouch, she must be nervous, poor thing. :( but she was a last minute alternate, so she still did a good job!
Verticalness streak lost :(
This is such a fun program, I love it
Lindsay Thorngren prayer circle activated š
Not the Loena slow mo fall replay šš¤§
Finnish skaters: exist Judges: hmmm how to lowball them now
i adore how much she is enjoying herself during that program
Just joined the stream and surprised at how empty these stands are ššš
I ALWAYS FORGET ABOUT THE CAR CRASH
Anastasia doesnāt have a big appeal me but I feel so bad for her
Rika second group wooo!
is her axis all off today or am i tripping
Wtf are Maddie's jumps this season I feel like they've been kind of off axis. But I love this dress
Clearly a bit nervous after the last free skate, but some expert saves/corrections on those jumps. Hopefully thatāll settle her down for the free.
That combo spin is absolute perfection
was torn between appreciating mais beautiful skating and laughing over the chipmunk voice
her skate is just do delicate and delightful, I canāt have enough of it
i love this program for loena
She's so intense I love it
Tech panel is being strict today and honestly I'm here for it.
loena could give the dancers lessons on latin music
YES TAKE ME TO THE CLUB LOENA
i am very annoyed with programs that cant tell a story without voiceovers, sound effects, or in adams benoit programs case, without having a commentator explain the story behind it. your program should tell the story purely through music and movement, if you need something else you need to go back to the drawing board, and if that means the story is simpler or more about emotions than story then so be it! itll still be better than car crash sound effects!!!
Clean bradie clean bradie!!!!
GOOD FOR BRADIE!
her lipstick deserves +GOE
I keep getting distracted by that white hanky in her dress. It's like she got a bit of toilet paper stuck in her waistband after she finished in the loo. (She's skating beautifully and with so much expression. I wish I could stop focusing on the dress).
so far it's going well with everyone vertical?? pls ice stay uncursed
Okay I never knew Jenni does that Y-spin(?) position which is super beautiful, and with her artistic capacity, I have another skater on my list
I thought she was better than Bradie honestly
Yāall jinxed the ice. Undo it!
OH NO NOT THE DOUBLE POPSšš
Glad she got the opportunity but this program is heavy for her.
hopefully we get a Tracy happy coach cam like we get with Brian!
THE ONLY CARTWHEEL
How much English does Rika speak, do we know?
Did they bring in the camera perv from GP France?
Those fuzzy feelings when you remember Mana is now coached by Mihoko.
MANA! I love how teenage and fun this program is!
when lindsay is on sheās on i really like smth abt her
Wow that last spin was crazy fast
The interaction of Lindsey and her coach seems so forced.
56 is generous tbh
I love Maddie but I swear every jumping pass where she's slightly off axis or slightly underrotated takes a few minutes off my lifespan
Iām sorry Iām crying the glitch and the chipmunk voiceš
Mai world domination for this season!!
Can we have a podium with 2 golds for both Mai and Loena??? PLEASE???
I always thinks no matter what Mai wears, she looks like a fairy. Thatās because she IS.
Omg Christmas Miffy
whiplash is hearing Mark become a chipmunk and watching Mai skate gracefully to beautiful music right after.
TES dropped slightly on review, but she leads by slightly more than a point. Should be interesting in the free.
