Grand Prix of Espoo 2023 - Ladies Free - “The Flying Spinns”

[Colonel Green]

What are Kim's chances for the final?

2+4 is possible, I think.

 

[Rukia]

uh oh

 

[Colonel Green]

Amber's terrifying rise may not be over yet?

 

[ptvvibezz]

Amber for Silver?

 

[thvu]

Rion looking out for our girl Amber too.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Wow, how far do PRLady's powers go???

 

[PRlady]

Omfg I jinxed both of them.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh dear .... perhaps I should have stayed away. Maybe I've jinxed Rion

 

[Primorskaya]

Utterly random fall on nothing
Amber for silver!

 

[airgelaal]

I hope Kaori doesn't want to give the gold to Amber?

 

[thvu]

Rion should be fine. She needs a TES around 55 to stay ahead of Amber.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

That fall with the loop there was so unfortunate. Like she landed the loop messily but without a fall and but then didn't get out of it somehow.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Rion should be fine. She needs a TES around 55 to stay ahead of Amber.

Yeah, it seems like she's back on track. But she was trying there for a bit.

 

[airgelaal]

2+4 is possible, I think.

An Rion chances now?

 

[Colonel Green]

We'll see what the panel does with some of those, but she has enough of a cushion for silver, I'd say.

Sumiyoshi, Rion
Coach: Koji Okajima, Noriko Sato
Music: Enchantress by Two Steps from Hell

2A+3T
4T< - two foot landing
Fly Ch Combo Spin 4
3Lz< - two foot landing
3Lo - step out - fall
Step Sequence 3
3Fq+3T<
3S+2T+2Lo
3F
Layback Spin 4
Choreo Sequence
Ch Combo Spin 4

Tough section in the middle of the program, but Sumiyoshi is a fighter, and she worked her way through it.

121.56 = 2nd Place
190.21 = 1st Place

 

[Frau Muller]

Oh wow…SILVER for Amber, maybe???

 

[Rukia]

Yeah I think she'll be fine with silver, but she really was trying to be a team player for amber for a bit

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Yeah, I'd think that is going to be silver, but not how she'd want to do it.

 

[topaz]

Happy Amber will medal.

 

[Sally1214]

Well, it looks like this comp is Kaori's to lose .... but it's not over until it's over. Rion's dress is very pretty.

 

[danafan]

The last three jumping passes might have saved Rion. I was thinking she was giving the silver to Amber.

 

[Rukia]

oof that combo looked short on both jumps

 

[peibeck]

Rion needs the power of her headband she had in the SP.

The choreography and music are interesting, but she had lots of errors and I'm guessing a few of these jump may get "q" or <<.

 

[skatingguy]

Sakamoto, Kaori
Coach: Sonoko Nakano, Mitsuko Graham,Sei Kawahara
Music: Wild is the Wing, Feeling Good

 

[Theatregirl1122]

How much is Amber going to cry on the podium?

 

[JoannaLouise]

Ok, I love Kaori, so I'm hoping that PRLady's reign of terror has ended.

 

[Colonel Green]

She needed most of that short program edge, but she got it done. And with Kim's faltering, that sets her up nicely for the Final.

 

[PRlady]

Lots of credit to Rion for pulling it together.

 

[Rukia]

How much is Amber going to cry on the podium?

hopefully she's getting it all out right now
