[overedge]

That's some playing up to the judges there...

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, that was some prime judge-whoring there to start this step sequence!

 

[MacMadame]

This is wonderful. Give her all the points!

 

[ilovesalchows]

This is wonderful skating music. I love her!

 

[millyskate]

Nicely skated but wow, that's quite the musical journey in the space of 4 minutes !

 

[her grace]

Some nice spring in Zhang’s jumps and emerging presentation. Nice skate

 

[Aceon6]

Zhang giving us a World Junior medalist skate. I didn’t hate it.

lil Zhang molested those judges like she meant business. no offense but how is this tied with Kimmy?

 

[delayedaxel]

When Kevin stopped right in front of the judges with a grimace it was kinda cool.

Anybody after him: Just no, go home copy-cat!

 

[Coco]

One to watch for the future, for sure!

 

[Habs]

I loved that! Great performance from Zhang.

 

[beepbeep]

Between the boyfriend and the creator of headcases coach, it’s not looking good for Kimmy

(before anyone comes at me with torches, this is a joke)

Re. Amber's quick interview with Andrea Joyce:

She also said she got some sleep, and that helped her to remind herself that she frequently didn't even think she'd make it to the Olympics.

Basically what I wrote about Amber in the U.S. Women's news thread earlier today.

 

[BaileyCatts]

Okay I know this is not skating related but what the heck is this movie with the sheep! The Sheep Detectives??!! I think I need to see this movie.

 

[Jay42]

Very nice from Ruiyang, I hope she can do well at Worlds too

 

[tony]

felt pretty disconnected with that, looked young presentations-wise compared to almost everyone else in this group. Like Madonna much more

 

[Lara]

That was really nice, congratulations Ruiyang! Looking forward to seeing her more (and the up-and-coming Chinese juniors).

 

[Sally1214]

I loved everything about Zhang. Carol said she was "right over" her jumps today and Kurt feels "honoured to have seen that." She had it all .... jumps, energy, creative interpretation. And, I loved her dress. Plus, as Reba Mcintyre would say, "she's as cute as a button."

 

[Aceon6]

I had to reload the ‘cock yet again. I saw a Verizon guy working on a pole two houses down from us. Please do not f with my internet!

lil Zhang's coach is really cute

 

[Rob]

I really liked Zhang! I hope to see
more of her.

 

[Sally1214]

Come on, Ekaterina .... have a wonderful Olympic moment.

 

[flyingsit]

Ruiyang is adorable and I’d like to keep her in my pocket.

 

[Private Citizen]

Somehow I forgot that Kurakova was 19th with a triple toe-double toe in the short. Maybe Katarina Witt should've made another comeback.

 

[Wyliefan]

Katya is the most gorgeous girl, but I hate this look on her. She looks like a wealthy Sicilian widow.

 

[Karen-W]

Okay I know this is not skating related but what the heck is this movie with the sheep! The Sheep Detectives??!! I think I need to see this movie.

Same! I'll just wait for it to come to some streaming service but it looks like it could be entertaining.

Sad to see a multiple Oscar winner (Emma Thompson) in this. It really is difficult for older actresses to find work....
