[toddlj]

tiny correction for you... should be 11:30-16:09 local /4:30 am-09:09 am Eastern

 

[Frau Muller]

Foggy rink. Mark’s there, with Ted working remotely.

 

[Karen-W]

Foggy rink. Mark’s there, with Ted working remotely.

I'm here for the first three women and then going to sleep through the rest because I have to work later. That is one foggy rink, lol.

 

[Kateri]

The mist on that one camera is insane, lol. Can barely see the girls.

 

[Karen-W]

I don't understand the music change in Uezono's program. Fast rotator.

 

[Karen-W]

Effing YT ad in the middle of Elyce's footwork!

I suspect the triples are going to be reviewed, but she is a Tammy Gambill skater, so that's to be expected.

ETA - yup, TES dropped a couple points on review.

 

[Frau Muller]

Elyse 2nd. Seemed great to me. (!!!)

I’ll be back for Hungarian-Russian Polina D., in Group 3.

 

[Karen-W]

Streuli - 3f+2t with a delay between the jumps, tango with copy-and-paste choreo. Yikes - slams and slides on the ice on the 3z. Actually, this choreo is improving during the step sequence.

Top 2 after 1st group:

1​	Rena UEZONO	JPN	63.64​	35.81​		27.83​	6.89​	7.00​	7.04​	0.00​	#1​
2​	Elyce LIN-GRACEY	USA	59.75​	33.63​		26.12​	6.54​	6.64​	6.46​	0.00​	#2​

Wonderful JGP debut by Rena Uezono! She was last year's Novice A champion and skated with attack today.

56.15 was Elyce's ISU PB last year (in the first of her 2 JGPs in her debut season). She's been competing Senior domestically this summer and scored 61.88 in the U.S. Junior Team Cup JGP selection competition in July (won both segments).

Balyuba's SP music (not listed in her ISU bio) was Khachaturian's Masquerade Waltz.

 

[Kateri]

Kyrgyztani skater! She was lovely, and the misty rink really added to her spooky-mystical programme!

 

[Frau Muller]

“Hot Sergei” (Rozanov) is baaaaack, with the Hun-Russian.

 

[Sylvia]

Karen Kwan is with Katherine Ong! (rough skate for her today - she's capable of much more)

 

[Wyliefan]

Not sure how the tutu goes with the music, but that was a nice skate for Olesya Ray.

 

[Frau Muller]

OlesyaRay of Germany adorable in that gorgeous black tutu…even though I didn’t quite understand the music’s relation to ballet.

 

[Frau Muller]

Giselle of Romania very strong & musical…except for one horrible catch-foot spin.

 

[Wyliefan]

Group 5 warming up now, for those of you waking up!

 

[Frau Muller]

Oh, the gorgeous red dress…and hair accessory!!!! Yea, !!!

 

[Frau Muller]

OLE, Korea!!!!

 

[Colonel Green]

Is that an Ataturk banner hanging in the rink?

Nice job by Kim (though as someone who edits Wikipedia, writing articles about Korean skating is already difficult with how many different Kims you might need to refer to in a single paragraph).

 

[Frau Muller]

Estonian is quite fast. Likeable.

 

[Wyliefan]

Nice clean skate for Uliana, if a little businesslike. Jumps were good; spin and step levels need work. Score is tied with Polina's, but she goes behind her based on PCS. ETA: Sorry, TES.

 

[Frau Muller]

Uliana Shyryaeva of Canada very zippy & musical. Choral music - original.

 

[Sylvia]

Final group warming up now.

1​	Yujae KIM	KOR	65.33​	36.73​		28.60​	7.11​	7.14​	7.25​	0.00​	#25​
2​	Rena UEZONO	JPN	63.64​	35.81​		27.83​	6.89​	7.00​	7.04​	0.00​	#1​
3​	Elyce LIN-GRACEY	USA	59.75​	33.63​		26.12​	6.54​	6.64​	6.46​	0.00​	#2​
4​	Sofja STEPCENKO	LAT	56.78​	33.45​		23.33​	5.75​	5.86​	5.93​	0.00​	#8​
5​	Polina DZSUMANYIJAZOVA	HUN	55.26​	32.27​		22.99​	5.89​	5.61​	5.79​	0.00​	#13​
6​	Uliana SHIRYAEVA	CAN	55.26​	31.60​		23.66​	6.00​	5.79​	6.00​	0.00​	#29​

HUN had higher TES which is the SP tiebreaker.

 

[Colonel Green]

Uliana has a decent foundation. Fortunately she’s in the hands of renowned development coach…Joanne McLeod? Damnit.

 

[Frau Muller]

Ahhhh…I’m fixated on a blue-silver dress and hair accessory. Guess where she’s from?

 

[Sylvia]

ETA: Seojin skated VERY well!

 

[Frau Muller]

Never Be Enough BLING!!!!

Bless !!!

 

[Lizziebeth]

Music hideous. Skating excellent!

 

[Colonel Green]

Those combination jumps were tilted, but Nakai made it work somehow.
