[Sylvia]

I hope Sonja enjoys her debut in Europe (Darin Hosier, Broussard's coach, is with her at this comp. due to the Broadmoor Fall Classic NQS happening in CO Springs this week) and Isabeau her season debut here!

 

[Karen-W]

I'll be here through maybe Sonja before heading to work...

[Karen-W]

Lorine's dress is really pretty. That's all I got.

46.62

 

[Rukia]

Schild

3z very tilted and fall out
2a good
good flow in fw but also she breaks at the waist a lot
loop looked pretty short + fall
interesting layout but also having a jump that late is very daring

46 something I was checking my email

 

[Karen-W]

Isabeau - oh, dear God... That is one ugly dress. Makes her look frumpy. Just no.

 

[Karen-W]

Jumps are looking better - she had a really cool cantilever that switched edges into the 2a. This program would be great if not for the seriously FUGLY dress they put her in. I don't know what her team was thinking but they need to get that changed before SkAm.

 

[sk9tingfan]

Isabeau - oh, dear God... That is one ugly dress. Makes her look frumpy. Just no.

I just literally verbalized, "Why?" WHAT NOT TO WEAR! This is a fashion emergency!

 

[Rukia]

Levito

This color is dull but also this dress is very sparkly it's a conundrum
speed looks improved
3z-3t still leans way forward to take-off though blah (toe looked toe-axelly and maybe short on replay)
very cool entrance to 2a
this dress is so Eteri girl it hurts
3f she slowed down some going into it but not as drastic as times I've seen
oh no tragique Walk Like an Egyptian armography
this was a mixed bag for me but she seems pleased

69.30

 

[airgelaal]

She still almost stops before jumping

 

[Karen-W]

Levito's team needs to consult with Hilmer's team about good costuming.

Bad landing on the opening jump in her combo and she could only get a 1t off.

No judges blade cutting like Kaori, but still a very cool program.

 

[Rukia]

Hilmer

3-1 combo (really got got stuck on the landing of her first jump and just couldn't get up right for the second)
3f good
showing all the girls how to slay fw
dodging bullets cantilever into 2a
spinning both ways like a queen
not bad as far as an international debut goes

on replay it almost looked like she pushed off the entire side of her boot for the second jump in that combo no wonder she only managed a single

51.79

 

[Frau Muller]

Hilmer has interesting tough look. Sorry about the combo.

 

[Rukia]

Kilsand

3t-3t looked ok from the angle we saw (on replay maybe second jump was a touch short)
oh this is muzak Nothing Else Matters?
3 loop fine
bauer into 2a I love that we're getting some cool jump entrances today
kind of frantic quality to the fw
this seemed like a very short program

56.58

 

[Sylvia]

Group 1:
Levito 69.30 [37.12 TES / 32.18 PCS]
Kilsand 56.58 [32.44 / 24.14]
Hilmer 51.79 [26.25 / 25.54]
Schild 46.62

 

[airgelaal]

Linnea got her first minimum for Worlds

 

[sk8nlizard]

I just literally verbalized, "Why?" WHAT NOT TO WEAR! This is a fashion emergency!

Oh top of it being ugly it is not flattering at all. She has clearly grown over the off season, and the dress adds to it (not in a good way). I thought her speed looked improved but the jumps looked to be way more of a struggle. She was just barely hanging on and muscling her way through them. They all looked short except the double axel. Hopefully it’s just early season issues….

 

[Rukia]

Repond

pale pink dress but with very heavy gold on parts idk
combo good
idk how I didn't realize she rotates cw
2a good speed in and out
slip off edge of solo jump landing and very awkward fall
very pretty lightness to her fw
her skating has matured in a wonderful way since I last saw her skate
I'm very impressed by the overall quality of this program

61.55

 

[Amy L]

Somehow Alexia's dress is both full of whickety-whack and almost naked at the same time.

It is too long, way too much skin coverage, and it wears her; not the other way around. It so detracts attention that the choreographic impact is minimized. I totally agree about her muscling through her jumps. It's amazing that she even lands them.

The antithesis of Isabeau's costume.

It looks like they won’t last through the season but I was trying to be positive. The jumps are injuries waiting to happen, I’m not sure how her back is still hanging on. Also, just looking at the program the skating skills looked labored more than usual. I know it’s a new program but . Hopefully she just had a long off season…/

 

[Hedwig]

I did not care for Repond's skating last season - too small jumps, too little quality - but this was great - real musicality in there - she hit the ups and downs of the music wonderfully!

If not for the fall on the lutz, I would have her in first.

 

[Rukia]

Paganini

3f?3t good (on replay this may have been an attempt at a lutz idk the edge was very questionable for either jump haha)
2a fine
i don't understand this dress at all
3 loop fine
sassy fw
good for her I guess but also i stopped watching towards the end so

58.61

 

[Amy L]

This looks like an homage to 80s bridesmaids dresses.

It was definitely a Lutz. But, as for me, all the jumps were with q

 

[Rukia]

Lovrencic

This full on looks like an ANTM flamenco dress modeling challenge but make it skating iykyk ok
I missed her combo while typing that very exciting sentence (it was a 3-2 I was looking away again sorry to her)
3 sal looked a little tilty but landed (probably short on replay)
omg one arm has fringe that sticks out when she spins amazing
losing speed going into axel + fall (I think she might have singled it but they didn't show it on replay and I'm tired so who knows)
I have a lot of questions tbh

43.60

There are some Men's and ladies' vids from today up already on YouTube if you have not paid for the live stream...
