She looked so solid in the short program, and then this program just opened with disaster. Good fight in the 2nd half of the program.

-2.00 = Falls
99.27 = 4th Place

Zhu - Mostly like her costume and the colour, just not sure about the splat of crystals on the hip.

Oh dear. I jinxed things earlier by saying someone was going to come out and fall on everything. Sat on the ice for the first three jumps. Not surprsingly she seemed deflated after that but at least she starting landing stuff but there will be reviews.

And minus several million for voiceovers.

Well, Yoshida won't be last now.

"A performance of real courage" says Chris. Translation: Not a good skate.

did Chris just say “in this women’s short program”?

 

[Bunny Hop]

Lee - Are the ropes on her dress representing the bell ropes in Notre Dame?

Last jump in the combination practically on the spot. Almost no distance at all. Still got positive GOE.

That looked like a lot of effort from her. Would like to see it skated clean.

 

[thvu]

Lee's terrible program is making me want to watch the Ghost program I just posted.

Haieen Lee seems so thin and fragile, very different to a couple of seasons ago. I hope she gets her consistency and strength back.

Struggled in the 2nd half to get the jumps into the air. This seems like quite a step back from where she was just a few weeks ago. The program is generic, and predictable.

Ambers dress is different from last month

Ambers dress is different from last month

she did mention that she had two dresses made for the FS

Alysa with her selfie.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Hmmmmm I wonder why she changed the dress. This is good but I really liked the previous.

 

[leilaofpaper]

I much prefer Amber’s current dress to the one she debuted at Nebelhorn

Yeah, the decision to go back to Notre Dame de Paris seems an odd one. Carmen is a warhorse, but it’s good music and seemed to be working for her. This is just a whole lot of nothing.

Never change, FSU.

I didn't watch Nebelhorn so have no opinion on the previous dress but I like this one.

 

[MacMadame]

Why did Alysa go back to last year's FS? (We know why she went back to last year's SP.)

This has bling.

I love the choice of Nutcracker for Rino.

 

[tony]

Loveeee Rino's skating. So straight-forward, nothing extra and amazing skating skills (yes, even with the footwork fall).

 

[Lilia A]

Nooooo

 

[Bunny Hop]

Matsuike - This is how you skate to ballet music! Lovely.

My only criticism of the choreography is not using the highlights in the music for any of the jumps.

Fall on the steps. Darn it! Other than that it was pretty good.

I appreciate Chris apologizing for cursing Rino by complimenting her skating quality seconds before the fall. Beautiful program through the first 2/3rds, and the elements looked really strong.

glad we got a replay of her hand reaching to the sky in the replays

So is Gubanova supposed to be the Ghost?
