2024 4CC Women FS - Flutz, Caution

[victorskid]

Yes, it happened so you can mark it.

Better late than never, I guess!

 

[Karen-W]

Her jumps are just on the verge of wildly out of control.

 

[JoannaLouise]

So we have 2 BINGOs so far with 2 skaters to go. How many more can we get??

We need at least one more to make up a full podium!

 

[MacMadame]

We need at least one more to make up a full podium!

This isn't Nationals. No pewter medal! (I thought you said two more)

 

[airgelaal]

It's a medal

 

[Aceon6]

AMZ getting sh!t done. So we have at least one non head case in the good ole

 

[Private Citizen]

Ziegler probably going to be just short of a medal here, but I think she'll be first alternate for Worlds for sure. And let the Monday morning quarterbacking begin because this performance surely would have won US Nationals.... Still not sure of the viability of the strategy of relying on a +2A+2A sequence long term.

Not the freedom that the NHK free skate had, but really good.

[Karen-W]

That was spectacular! Apart from the sketchy landing on the 2nd 3z...

And bingo!!!

 

[YourBorneo]

“The momentum is continuing”

Yes, that’s what the word means, Chris.

 

[MacMadame]

SENSATIONAL and I finally got a BINGO!!

 

[Tak]

Congratulations to Rinka for assured ISU small medal.
I always had a soft spot for her since she was totally snubbed by JSF during her junior years since she skated in a Block without any political clout and under relatively unknown coach.
Good for her, to come back from nowhere in last three seasons.

 

[Frau Muller]

No complaints with Ava Marie Ziegler!
Gorgeous components.
Medal, please!!!

 

[her grace]

Interesting strategy to put all the combos in first half. Not quite over her feet in places, but hung on. Nice presentation and showing grit!

 

[Karen-W]

SENSATIONAL and I finally got a BINGO!!

That was the word that gave me my bingo too!

 

[MacMadame]

I might take that back about the Pewter medal

 

[Karen-W]

Oh jeez!!!! I'm thoroughly annoyed that is behind either Kim or Watanabe.

[MacMadame]

Not quite over her feet in places

She lands her jumps weirdly. Her body lean isn't quite right.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I need a nitty gritty or top drawer for a bingo with one more skater.

Also I must have blacked out Ziegler's music because of that stupid baby voiceover crap.

 

[airgelaal]

I am surprised. I thought she'd done enough

 

[Aceon6]

The step out cost her, but getting 200+ should set her up nicely for next season.

 

[Private Citizen]

Her jumps are just on the verge of wildly out of control.

Under Selezneva and Makarov, I think Ziegler's jumps have gone from just out of control to just within control. Incredible progress in a short amount of time, but with more work to be done.

I am surprised. I thought she'd done enough

Tech score dropped. I suspect ! on lutz, flip, or both. She's one of those skaters who can get a call on either.

 

[Karen-W]

The step out cost her, but getting 200+ should set her up nicely for next season.

She was already nicely set up on the SB, but the WS points here are more important.

 

[MacMadame]

pristine clean! (But I think we had that already)

 

[Lanie]

Was hoping she’d medal but 4th isn’t bad!

 

[Karen-W]

What is with this trend of a flowy, chiffon cuff on one wrist and the other sleeve being fully fitted to the wrist?

That was a tiny-a$$ed sequence.

 

[airgelaal]

Mone

 

[Karen-W]

pristine clean! (But I think we had that already)

Yup, it was said awhile ago.

Chiba is gonna take this tonight. Can't complain since she's doing it cleanly.

Euros ladies better watch out if they want to medal at Worlds.
