Solid green boxes and a standing O for Lara. Good for her .... that was excellent!

[Kateri]

It's so great to see the women bringing it, after everyone's seemed so exhausted. C'mon ladies, keep it up!

 

[MacMadame]

I would count Mone's dress as having legitimate cutouts, btw. We've counted them before.

 

[Karen-W]

pristine clean!

Btw, I have an entry for when Chris gives shade to not calling an under-rotation. Has he done that today? (He was on a roll yesterday.)

ETA nm, he was snarky about no jumps being reviewed for one of the skaters earlier and that counts! Mark off "In the system as clean"

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, Chris, you're so cute thinking that a clean Mone had a chance of catching a nearly clean Amber.

 

[Sally1214]

Yea, Mone. Such an excellent spinner. She should be proud of herself for that performance.

 

[Karen-W]

Guess we need to listen closely here b/c he for sure thought at least one of Mone's jumps was UR.

Sounds like even the tech panel couldn't ignore it and gave her a q, lol.

He wasn't snarky enough for that one to count. But the surprise in his voice when he said "they aren't going to review anything" definitely counts!

 

[Karen-W]

Gubanova never lets us down with her nude gloves!

 

[beckab81]

Not that it was ever really in question, but the team standings are locked in, no matter what happens with the last 3 skaters.

 

[Karen-W]

So, Gubanova skates well at Euros and WTT...

Maybe next year we tell her that the Olympics is WTT, just like telling Aymoz that Boston = Allen TX

Redemption skate!!!!

 

[Sally1214]

WOW, Gubaova really brought it!! What a wonderful way for her to end her season. That was awesome.

 

[PRlady]

Good for her!

 

[Karen-W]

Good for Anastasiia! I'd tell her to keep these two programs for next season so that she can be fully trained & ready to go in Beijing at the OQE. No messing around with trying to figure out her stamina & pacing at such an important competition.

 

[Karen-W]

Team Georgia really brought the native folk costumes... Loving it!

Awwww! Such a great reaction from her in the KnC!

 

[Kateri]

Do Team Georgia have a cuddly garlic?

 

[Sally1214]

Go get 'em, Kaori.

 

[Garden Kitty]

Georgia scores with great kiss and cry outfits. The country costumes are like an athletic Parade of Nations from the Miss Universe contest

She made it work, but it was not easy - lots of generous GOE.

145.00 = 2nd Place

 

[Coco]

Kaori, bless her heart, is ready for the season to be over.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, there were a couple of dodgy landings there and I wouldn't give her the win, but I appreciate the energy & utter commitment from Kaori to that program. She sold the heck out of it.
