[Wyliefan]

I'll miss Rika's cartwheel.

 

[Colonel Green]

I'll miss Rika's cartwheel.

In her case she's keeping the short program, so you should be safe there.

Since I won't be able to watch this live, best of luck to everybody, and especially Gabrielle, who could really use a good performance now after how bad things have gone since the last time she was at this event.

 

[Jay42]

If Simon just jinxed Gabrielle I will throw hands. I just want her to land everything

 

[yeslek]

She reminds me of a younger slightly more artistic Bradie

 

[Karen-W]

I don't recall having seen Negrello before. I'm not a fan of the grey/millennial pink costume, especially with the grey gloves. But, she landed her jumps, so good for her.

 

[MacMadame]

I feel very lonely. Why is no one posting?

Well here is my uniformed commentary. GOT requires more projection and that second 3T seemed a bit underrotated.

I'm very nervous for Gabby I'll be better when she's done.

 

[allezfred]

Ouch for Cobraboobz.

The North Americans are asleep, the Europeans are at work, and the Israelis (what few of us there are) have Independence Day today

Being a fan is so stressful lol. I loved when Usacheva said fans worry about their favorites like parents.

 

[Karen-W]

I'm with Not-Mark - that 2z was definitely sketchy.

 

[Jay42]

Her having not competed in over a year is really showing.

 

[MacMadame]

Gabby always has personality to spare. She should give some to the young English lass. Also, I love Carmen and always will.

So they have a perfect excuse to watch skating.

ETA we on the West Coast are okay. It's not even 1am here. I feel for the East Coasters, though.

 

[Frau Muller]

All the makeup on earth can’t save Gabi...

 

[Karen-W]

Watching Daleman is like watching Gracie Gold at US Nats the past two seasons. You want her to get back to her old form but... Long road to go still.

 

[Lilia A]

He did. He always has to jinx at least one skater. When he said "she should lead after this group" I was like "shut up, shut up"
Oh well, nice seeing Gabby again.

 

[Frau Muller]

I’m missing Schizas a lot now.

 

[MsZem]

Nope, off to a barbecue with friends soon. Will find out what I missed later...

Skating to Carmen unironically at this point is just not very exciting.

 

[Karen-W]

Skating to Carmen without any sass or fire is just not very exciting.

 

[Frau Muller]

Second, behind Lavinia.

 

[mjb52]

I like this song, it's emo but also chill.

 

[MacMadame]

Something to build on, I think. There was some definite quality there but the 2Z was costly and the other bobbles didn't help the score.

ETA talking about Gabby.

 

[Karen-W]

I feel like this costume would be perfect for Frozen but it's not a Frozen program and that's okay but still... Any novice or lower level skaters looking for a generic, pretty icy blue costume for a Frozen program can find inspiration in Mazzara's costume here.

I woke up for ladies and men (I’m in Texas) although I’m not sure I can stay awake. At least there aren’t too many of them!

 

[MacMadame]

My dog doesn't like it.

 

[Jay42]

I think I would like this music better if it was earlier in the day. Right now it's just making me think about sleep.

 

[MsZem]

This is not keeping up the tradition of voidy French skating, and also the 3T in the combination was dodgy, but I think Maia did about as well as she could have.
