Rostelecom Cup: Ladies Preview

This event is going to come down to who wants it the most. I can see this going so many different ways it's making my head spin. There are about 6 ladies that could win this thing, so let's get started. I'll be live blogging the short on Friday AM and all the free programs on Saturday AM. Here is a link to the schedule http://backstagebarbie.blogspot.com/2012/10/2012-grand-prix-of-figure-skating.html.

Adelina Sotnikova (RUS) is our favorite Russian baby. She is a more complete skater than Tuktamisheva and Lipnitskaia and I hope she can win here and make it to the Grand Prix Final in Sochi. She won bronze at Skate America so let's hope that she keeps escalating!

Kiira Korpi (FIN) is looking divine this season. Her costumes are gorgeous and I appreciate how calm she looks on the ice. I love that every time she steps out, we know that we are going to get something beautiful. I love her elegance. We know she will always receive high PCS marks so that helps give her the edge over many other skaters.

Kanako Murakami (JPN) looks to factor into the medal scene this season after already securing a bronze at Skate Canada. She is finally growing into her body and she's held onto her jumps while developing a new sense of artistry. I expect to see her in the top 6 at Worlds this year with her lovely programs.

Gracie Gold (USA) could easily hit the podium if she goes clean. We all expected her to medal at Skate Canada, but she is a rookie senior and we shouldn't put so much pressure on her. She is brand new on the scene and we need to be patient while she develops.

My Podium Predictions:
Gold: Adelina Sotnikova (RUS)
Silver: Kiira Korpi (FIN)
Bronze: Kanako Murakami (JPN)

The Rest of the Field:
Valentina Marchei (ITA)
Polina Korobeynikova (RUS)
Alena Leonova (RUS)
Viktoria Helgesson (SWE)
Agnes Zawadzki (USA)
Caroline Zhang (USA)

2011 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating: Cup of China Ladies Free Skate

1) Quiying Zhu (CHN)
     Music: Scent of a Woman

• She is so tentative going into her jumps, I really want to attack them with more speed
• The jumps really need more height
• I'd like to see more speed on the spins, some of the positions are nice
• The step sequence needs more levels to make it exciting to watch
• My overall note is she needs more attack
• That was a weak layback spin
• She is happy with the skate, good for her!

FS Score: 35.16 (TES) +38.13  (PCS) = 73.29
Total Score: 35.28 (SP) + 73.29 (FS) = 108.57

2) Ksenia Makarova (RUS)
     Music: Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend, I Wanna Be Loved By You

• I love this program and just want to see it done well
• Trip and fall out of the triple lutz, legs were crossed on landing
• The choreography is so playful, love this gorgeous costume
• Lands the 3-2, but really lacks height
• Wild free leg on the triple loop
• Her hair looks to be falling down and it's distracting
• The jumps she's landing are hardly getting off the ground, where has her technique gone?
• This costume is fantastic, a great replica of the original
• The ending is abrupt, but I like the program as a whole
• Certainly some underrotations there, but one fall is a huge upgrade from her Skate America free skate

FS Score: 46.01 (TES) + 52.56 (PCS) - 1.00 (DED) = 97.57
Total Score: 45.90 (SP) + 97.57 (FS) = 143.37

3) Christina Gao (USA)
     Music: Libertango

• I'm sick of this music, but I'll give her a chance
• Her crossovers seem very short and staccato, not sure if that's a skill issue or a style choice
• Nice 3-3 to open
• Conquered the double axel that caused a fall in the short
• Fall, I missed the jump
• I like her spin variations and the fact that they show off her long limbs
• That is a very Mao Asada-esque costume
• Awkward turn out of the triple flip
• Short landing on the triple loop
• She is giving away a lot of GOE points on these less than beautiful landings
• I wish she's pick up the speed and try to emote more
• She needs to bend the knees more and go deeper onto the edges
• Good attempt at interpretation in this step sequence

FS Score: 53.89 (TES) + 47.60 (PCS) - 1.00 (DED) = 100.49
Total Score: 51.99 (SP) + 100.49 (FS) = 152.48

4) Valentina Marchei (ITA)
     Music: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

• This program seems oddly junior-ish for a woman of her age
• This as a free and the energetic upbeat short are too similar programs for the same season
• As in the short, crossovers with hand gestures are not transitions
• She is popping jumps left and right, tack on a fall as well
• Sato & Dungjen did not perform magic with her as they did with Czisny
• The gloves with this costume are distracting for me

FS Score: 32.76 (TES) + 49.68 (PCS) - 1.00 (DED) = 81.44
Total Score: 52.42 (SP) + 81.44 (FS) = 133.86

5) Bingwa Geng (CHN)
     Music: Sylvia

• Two-foot on opening triple
• Turns a simple double axel into a 3-jump combination
• I'm not familiar with this music, but I really like it
• I like the headless-variation on the I-spin, but the leg must be pulled in closer if she's going to perform it
• This program is slow and lacking conviction like the rest of the skaters in this group
• She's picking up the energy slightly here at the end, but ti's a little to little to late at this point
• She's not terribly upset, but not terribly happy either with that skate

FS Score: 45.38 (TES) + 45.10 (PCS) - 1.00 (DED) = 89.48
Total Score: 52.61 (SP) + 89.48 (FS) =142.09

6) Kexin Zhang (CHN)
     Music: En la Cueva

• This girl is a jumper, nice 3-3 there
• I like the costume, be it loud, but it doesn't fit with the music
• She needs a lot more speed
• She really does have all the jumps, nice rotation
• She's missing the components and interpretation of the more experienced Geng
• Good spins, I'm pleasantly surprised by her!
• She could relax her hands more, they get stuck in some funny positions
• Solid skate, she'll be quite pleased!

FS Score: 54.14 (TES) + 46.33 (PCS)  = 100.47
Total Score: 52.85 (SP) + 100.47 (FS) = 153.32

7) Kanako Murakami (JPN)
     Music: Violin Concerto

• I love Kanako's dress, this is  very new look for her this sesaon
• Low landing on the opening triple, if that was supposed to be her combination, I hope she tacks it on later
• She seems unsettled out there, perhaps she isn't quite soft enough for this type of program
• I do appreciate her effort in working toward a more mature program
• Her jumps don't seem to have their usual spring, but she may not yet have adjusted to her growth spurt

FS Score: 44.10 (TES) + 54.01 (PCS) - 1.00 (DED) = 97.11
Total Score: 53.09 (SP) + 97.11 (FS) = 150.20

8) Adelina Sotnikova (RUS)
     Music: Liebestraum

• I'm on the edge of my seat!
• 3-3 to open, it hardly takes any effort for her
• She has a nice knee bend and good edging
• I love the costume, it is very age appropriate and fits the music
• She is looking solid out there, and much more mature that Tuktamisheva
• Popped a jump, signs of nerves?
• Really strange landing, may be counted as a fall
• She is letting go of precious GOE marks on these landings
• Really good spinning ability, another place where she tops Tuktamisheva
• Nice emotion and interpretation from her, it would be a great debut for any other skater
• Her facial expressions remind me of Sasha Cohen

FS Score: 51.69 (TES) + 54.52 (PCS) = 106.21
Total Score: 53.74 (SP) + 106.21 (FS) = 159.95

9) Mirai Nagasu (USA)
     Music: Spartacus

• Mirai looks relaxed out there, but almost to the point of being too casual in her movements
• So far so good after 4 jumping passes
• Wavering a little in her camel sequence
• I'd like to see that spread eagle ride out a little longer on that great part of the music
• She really is nailing it so far, it looks like we've gotten "Good Mirai" today!
• Wow, a clean program from Mirai is something we've not seen in a while!
• When she's good, she's GOOD

FS Score: 55.64 (TES) + 56.62 (PCS)  = 112.26
Total Score: 60.96 (SP) + 112.26 (FS) = 173.22


10) Carolina Kostner (ITA)
      Music: Concerto NO. 23 by Mozart

• Very wobbly landing for Caro, but she gets it under control
• Nice smooth easy program so far, let's keep it that way
• I appreciate the flow that she normally has out of her jumps
• Pointing the foot would do her a lot of good to extend an already long leg line
• And she's happy with that!

FS Score: 56.95 (TES) + 63.31 (PCS)  = 120.26
Total Score: 61.88 (SP) + 120.26 (FS) = 182.14

2011 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating: Cup of China Ladies Short Program LIVE BLOG

1) Kexin Zhang (CHN)
     Music: Piano Concerto No. 3 by Rachmaninov

• The Chinese ladies struggled last Grand Prix season, I'd like to see them do well here at home
• 3-3 attempt, I couldn't tell from the angle if it was rotated
• Hand down on a very tilted triple lutz
• She is very stiff in her upper body, some ballet would go a long way for her
• She needs to extend the movement even through the fingertips
• Nice donut spin position
• Footwork into a double axel, so far clan on the jumping
• I want to see more use of levels in this footwork, but she has begun to relax her upper body
• She'll be happy with that skate

SP Score: 31.47 (TES) + 21.38 (PCS) = 52.85

2) Quiying Zhu (CHN)
     Music: Nutrckacker

• She is gorgeous!
• From that costume I was expecting the Plum pas de deux music and I was correct!
• Fall on the first triple attempt, just not nearly enough speed and or height
• Triple-double completed, but still lacking speed and height
• She goes into the double axel almost at a stand-still
• She is so tentative going into these elements
• Her hands are really broken at the wrist which really disrupts the arm line she's creating
• Spins are a bit wobbly, traveling a bit
• No don't pick your skirt out of your butt on the ice! 

SP Score: 16.40 (TES) + 19.88 (PCS) - 1.00 (DED) = 35.28

3) Bingwa Geng (CHN)
     Music: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

• I love this costume, it's very dynamic
• I hate this overhead camera angle, but nice 3-2
• She has more speed and is more aggressive than the other more delicate Chinese ladies
• That catch foot spin should be much more stretched if she's going to attempt it
• The spins really lack speed
• That ina bauer needs much more stretch, clean double axel
• That fog on the ice is really distracting
• Nice layback into final ending position
• An easy skater to watch

SP Score: 29.66 (TES) +22.95 (PCS) = 52.61

4) Adelina Sotnikova (RUS)
     Music: Bolero

• Very strong opening stance, drastically different from her programs of last season
• She is coming out very aggressive
• Fall on the triple lutz, had no speed coming out
• I hope she's smart enough to tack on a combo to another jump
• And she does add a 2T to the 3F
• Very fast spinning and nice position changes
• That lutz looked rotated, so she'll just lose the 1 point deduction and some GOE marks
• Solid double axel
• I'm loving her spins, that is where she is much stronger than Elizaveta
• Her step sequence movements are a little repetitive for me, but I appreciate that she is giving it her all
• That low sit spin variation is rally interesting
• She is not happy with that, but should still bring in a strong score

SP Score: 29.66 (TES) + 25.08 (PCS) - 1.00 (DED) = 53.74

5) Christina Gao (USA)
     Music: To Love You More

• I like her even more now that she's tall, is that strange?
• She's getting the Yuna look!
• 3F-3t, looked solid to me
• Slow approach to the double axel, can't keep it on her feet
• I like this program on her
• I'd like a stronger flow out of that triple lutz
• She has lovely spin positions but lost a lot of speed by the time she hit the Bielman
• I'd like to see more facial expression, she's in the ballpark here on her step sequence
• Aren't bangs really distracting for a figure skater?

SP Score: 29.34 (TES) + 23.65 (PCS) - 1.00 (DED) = 51.99

6) Valentina Marchei (ITA)
     Music: Johnny's Mambo, Ronny's Mambo

• Yuka is here for Team Detroti, no surprise b/c of her connection with Jeremy Abbott
• Again, I hate the braid, it's immature for her age
• Her opening combo took off from and landed on very straight legs
• She came out firing today, seems to really have her legs under her
• This program doesn't do much for me, the transitions are really just crossovers with sassy facial expressions
• She's landed all of the jumps, but none of them really have much height at all
• Pretty quick rotation on the spins, she must be studying Alissa

SP Score: 26.46 (TES) + 25.96 (PCS) = 52.42

7) Ksenia Makarova (RUS)
     Music: Maria and the Violin's String

• What a lovely program this is if she can just stay upright
• The choreography is fantastic, the opening is so unique
• Fall out of the opening 3F, I really don't know that the coaching change did her any favors
• This audience really gasps when a skater falls
• Step out of the triple loop,won't get full credit
• I don't know where this girl's mind is, if I had that choreography I wouldn't be throwing away jumps
• This poor girl, she's so lovely if she could get her mind in the game and learn to compete

SP Score: 20.44 (TES) + 26.46 (PCS) -1.00 (DED) = 45.90

8) Kanako Murakami (JPN)
     Music: Violin Muse

• Wow she's grown up since last season!
• 3lz-3t, 2nd jump likely underrotated and maybe two-footed
• Triple loop, UR probably
• This is a much more mature program for her, she's improved her sense of interpretation
• A bit of a funny layback position; broken leg line
• Her hands are a bit stiff for me, softening them would do wonders for her arm line
• Double axel, good to see she's maintained her jumps even with the growth spurt

SP Score: 25.80 (TES) + 27.29 (PCS) = 53.09

9) Mirai Nagasu (USA)
     Music: Danzarin

• Lord I don't even know what to think anymore when Mirai steps onto the ice
• It looks like good Mirai came out to skate today, all jumps landed
• She really does a fantastic job of not traveling at all on that layback spin
• I like that camel variation into the donut that she does
• Sassy Mirai is out there today, Frank is looking on as seriously as ever
• I like this step sequence a lot
• Mirai is one of the best spinners around in terms of speeding up rotation as she goes

SP Score: 31.75 (TES) + 29.21 (PCS) = 60.96

10) Carolina Kostner (ITA)
      Music: Alegretto from Trio No. 2 by Shostakovitch

• The illusion mesh is still horrible but the costume as a whole has grown on me
• The more I watch it I like this program
• She went for the 3-3, wasn't watching closely enough for rotation
• She really carries a lot of speed with those long legs
• Two hands down on the triple loop
• Nice sharp double axel
• I appreciate the way the subtleties of the choreography mirror the music
• Nice deep edging, she'll likely pass Mirai in PCS but not in TES after the hands down

SP Score: 31.44 (TES) + 30.44 (PCS) = 61.88

2011 Cup of China: Ladies Preview

The ladies field at Cup of China can be described in one word, young. Only two of the ten were born before 1992. Four ladies have already skated in one Grand Prix event but the rest are making their Grand Prix debut for the season. The ladies take the ice for their short program at 5:00 a.m. EST on Friday November 4th and for the free skate at 4:15 a.m. EST on Saturday November 5th.

I can't wait to watch 2011 World Junior Champion Adelina Sotnikova (RUS) in her senior Grand Prix debut and see if she can take home the Gold as Tuktamisheva did in Canada. She is consistent, artistic, polished, and packs her program with difficult elements, including triple-triple combinations. Reigning World Bronze Medalist Carolina Kostner (ITA) debuted at Skate America two weeks ago and took Silver, narrowly missing out on Gold. I've always been critical of her but I'm trying to be open-minded and I really do enjoy her new programs this season. At 24, she is more experienced than anyone in this field, but will that help her hold off the teenagers? Speaking of teens, 17-year-old Kanako Murakami (JPN) started her senior GP last season with a splash, winning a Bronze, a Gold, and Bronze at the final. She ran out of steam late in the season and placed 8th at Worlds but I bet she comes out strong and more mature to start this season. Also in the mix is Christina Gao (USA), who is making her senior Grand Prix debut after a strong junior career. She went through a huge growth spurt last year but is now really growing into her body and using her long lines to her benefit. Mirai Nagasu (USA) made me so upset last week because she blew her chance to win Skate Canada by falling on several jumps and yet again botching a spin. I'm afraid she maybe be destined to become the skater who "could've been" as she's talented beyond belief but never learned how to thrive in competition. Ksenia Makarova (RUS) has two of my favorite programs of the season but she struggles with consistency and anything less than two clean programs will leave her off the podium with this extremely talented field.

My Podium Predictions:
1) Adelina Sotnikova (RUS)
2) Carolina Kostner (ITA)
3) Kanako Murakami (JPN)
