Drat! Got distracted looking at a map when Leonova was waiting for her scores, and forgot Liza was next. :bang: :bang: :bang:

Missed the first couple of elements. But I saw in the highlights that she fell.

EDIT: Went back and re-watched the programme afterwards, so here are some more comments.

Beautiful combination jump to start with.

Very weird fall on the Triple Lutz. It looked like she went into it too fast, and couldn't get it landed.​

Double Salchow good. And the combination spin that immediately followed it was beautiful.

Triple Loop was beautiful.

She was really going for it during the Step Sequence.

Popped her Lutz. But quickly made up for it with her sequence of jumps.

She looked visibly tired during the next combination.

But, there was no sign of fatigue when she was doing her final combination spin.

She looks disappointed and frustrated sitting waiting for her scores.

Oh boys but she is disappointed. She looks like she could cry.

She goes into the lead of both FS and overall.

It's a big lead overall, but that is because the skaters behind her have all changed positions compared to the SP. The skater directly behind her now is the one that was last in the SP.

Well, at least she has maintained her position.

:cheer: WELL DONE LIZA!!! :cheer:

I don't remember Konga's music being this much of a mess.

No, there must be something wrong with the CD player in the arena. Playing two different pieces of music at the same time. It definitely wasn't like this when she won in Kaunas a couple of weeks ago.

If it sounded like that in the arena, Anastasija did very well to skate through it. If I had been her, I would have been complaining to the officials.

Although I can't understand her, the way she is talking makes me think that she was hearing the same as us.

She goes into 2nd in the FS and overall. But is only 0.73 points behind Liza overall.

:cheer: WELL DONE ANASTASIJA!!! :cheer:

And now we know who else's music was playing when Konga was skating.

The girl skating straight after her, Selma VALITALO (FIN).

There wasn't much between them in their scores.

Selma goes into 3rd in the FS, and 2nd overall.

And her dress and this program are pretty.

Another useless piece of information - we're in the process of getting the kitchen re-done, and my Mum was in when Oona was on. And she commented that her dress is the colour she wants the walls painted (they curently have grey wallpaper on them).

I liked the dress and programme too. But, I wasn't keen on that version of "Nessun Dorma".

She goes into 5th in the FS, and 4th overall.

Minja. Pretty dress. I love Fields of Gold. Good skate. :clap:

I could write the same as I did for Oona. I liked the dress and programme too. But, I wasn't keen on that version of "Fields Of Gold". It has to be Sting's original, or Eva Cassidy's cover.

But, what a weird fall.

She goes into the lead of both FS and overall.

Eva Cassidy wins for me. She's on my playlist.

Can we retire this song from figure skating? I think it has fullfilled all its potential. There's nothing to gain there.

No ice resurfacing between groups? I'm kind of surprised!

I know this doesn't tend to be done in the ISU part of events, but they should have had the Junior and Senior Ladies competitions properly back-to-back, with the chaos either side. And had resurfacings every 2 groups.
