Ok, I could catch up on the girls and boys.
Gutmann such drama and presence, definitely the highlight of the ladies, watched her after Araki, that made Araki pretty bland. And her tights were too long and too bulky. Kawabata was lovely though, smiling through Blue Danube.
First time seeing Valieva, I didn't watch any random youtube earlier on purpose. LeGuaz choreo for you, worst part was when she threw herself in and out of the Ina Bauer in 0,5 seconds. But she hit some nice positions in her spins, nice arms. Poor girl looked like the world had ended afterwards, not just her program. Cheer up little one!
Kromykh and Wi was kinda zzzz. Couldn't finish Harrell's program as the music was too

And I usually like Piaf....
I guess I enjoyed the last group I got to see yesterday as much as top 8 today, as some of the had great personality. Hungary, Netherlands...
The boys:
Maksim Naumov is indeed a spitting image of his father. Cool program, fun how Ted compared him to Yagudin. Yags could easily have skated that.
Kagiyama was brilliant, loved his butter skating. Great music. Watching tall, stiff Nielsen after right was, well...sorry Nielsen.
Watched top 6 here (-ISR, no video), but no one else really stood out. What vodiy junior men should I watch? (Don't worry, I'm already behind bars).
