Serna
3z2t2l nice, lots of air for the lutz
3sal landed a bit forward
2a
3t
3z < fall
1f2a
she started so well, sigh
3f very tilted in the air, landed it somehow but ur as well
lots of reviews for the jumps indicated
some really good moments in there

and other moments

 

[Karen-W]

I'm not sure which final flight of women is shaping up to be worse - Nebelhorn or Nepela. Serna is really lucky there are only two decent-ish French women competing internationally. I can't believe she has 2 GPs while Samodelkina & Shin have only 1.

 

[Hedwig]

Kaiya RUITER

that is - a lot of pink

3z
2a3t
3z fall
3sal
3f2axel2toe
3l2t
2l
small stumble in the steps

I hold out hopes for her to be the Canadian entry at the OLympics. This is just personal preferecne but I find Schiza`s skating deeply irritating.
but then she has to show more than today and on top of that I am not sure about this bonbon-pink-my-heart-will-go-on-program

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh Kaiya, not Titanic from you too. What's with all the Titanic this season??

 

[Hedwig]

Mone CHIBA
wonderful 3f3t
3l
3sal nice and soft
2a
3z2a
3z2t2l
3f


barring injury she is as much of a lock for the Olympic team as one can be in a field as deep as Japan. Only the third spot is really up for grasps, IMO

 

[Wyliefan]

Lovely skate from Mone.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

I so appreciate Michael Huth. First, he`s still doing this. And, he always interracts with his skaters in the K&K. Particularly when they`re disappointed.

 

[Karen-W]

Lovely program from Mone, but she's got 3 jumping passes under review and we know that tech panels like to give her the q & <, plus the occasional !, so I'm expecting the TES to drop.

 

[PRlady]

Mone is so consistent. I wish she could break out of the Japanese version of pretty princess but she’s still young.

 

[PRlady]

Lol. Isabeau will never be in the less-is-more camp for costumes.

 

[Karen-W]

Absolutely gorgeous dress for Isabeau.

 

[Hedwig]

Levito
after Chiba her jump technique is especially egregious

3z3t
2a
nice entry into 2l -
3sal
3f2a
3l2t2l
3z
four reviews for her jumps indicated already
really nice spin to finish
I doubt that that will be enough to take the lead in the free program away from Mone

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Beautiful skating by Levito.

 

[PRlady]

Damn I hope that doubled loop doesn’t cost her a medal. Lovely program for her and the music so much better than Liebestraum.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that 2lo may be the difference between Mone & Isabeau's placements. Seeing that the tech panel was generous with Mone's reviews today, I'm expecting they'll be similarly generous with any questions about Isabeau's jump rotations.

 

[Wyliefan]

Nervy skate for Isabeau, but she showed lots of fight. I like the ice blue of the dress, but I don't think the cutouts are working. Maybe they look better on a bigger screen, but on my phone it looks like something chewed on the dress.

 

[Hedwig]

Mone is so consistent. I wish she could break out of the Japanese version of pretty princess but she’s still young.

her SP is not so pretty princess and I like it so much!

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Mone is so consistent. I wish she could break out of the Japanese version of pretty princess but she’s still young.

I annoint a queen not a princess!

 

[skipaway]

2 loop killed her

 

[Karen-W]

Ouch - tech panel went to town on Isabeau. She lost about 6 points on review.

 

[PRlady]

Damn.

Newsflash from Nepala: Italian ladies swept.

 

[Karen-W]

2 loop killed her

Nah, not just the 2lo.

 

[Karen-W]

Really love this new FS dress for Amber. So much better than her FS dress from last season. 3A was beautiful again.

 

[victorskid]

Ouch - tech panel went to town on Isabeau. She lost about 6 points on review.

It had already gone down by 2 points before the box disappeared from the screen.

 

[Karen-W]

Argh! Fall for Amber on the last jump! She may have enough of a lead from the SP to hang on for the lead against Mone. We'll see what the tech panel does with the 3 jumps under review.

ETA - and she's clutching her back as she skates off the ice, also pointing to her hip.

 

[Hedwig]

Amber Glenn

oh I like her dress - dark blue with lot of elegant details

great 3a
3f3toe
her flip approach always seems to rushed and I get a shock every time but it seems to work for her
3z2t, lutz maybe short
3sal
running threes into 3l2a
3f that flip looked less rushed
3l fall
steps are a bit slow like she is exhausted more than usual

not sure about the music, especially the ending kind of just fades away

 

[PRlady]

Hope her back is ok.

Not as much impact as the short, but a nice contrast in style. I’m betting she’s in second with the fall.

 

[Wyliefan]

I'm sorry, that program is dull as ditchwater. I don't know why she chose that for an Olympic season. I noticed her clutching her back too -- hope she didn't hurt herself!

 

[Karen-W]

Whew. That SP lead has assured Amber of at least silver!
