Now it's turn for my lovely crane to skate.

Those caring coaches Edit, is it Anna Levandi?

No, that's Kristina's Mum that's with her, Alina Shkuleta-Gromova.

Kristina is like Arlet in that she is coached by her mother.

When Mum's not wearing a headscarf, you can really see how much they are alike!

I like this program a lot and very much hope Hana will be able to perform it clean at worlds.

Not a bad skate from Hana, but everything seemed a little tighter than we're used to seeing from her. I'm sure she's focusing on having two clean programs at Worlds and will come out swinging in Canada.

 

[hermine17]

This was not Niina's day, but this is still a lovely program.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Honestly, the fact that Niina broke her foot, spent a significant amount of time off the ice, and came back so soon to competition with such a solid skate is actually insane. It wasn't her ideal program, but the fact that she can do a long program with lutzes and flips is just incredible. The axels seem to be a struggle for her, she didn't do a single clean one in competition, but I think it was her left foot that was broken and so maybe there's just not the muscle strength back yet in that foot.

I'm very happy Niina is back, but I don't think she's really fit again. I hope they didn't rush her comeback.

 

[hermine17]

Goooo Rion!!!!!!!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

This is Rion's last outing of this program, which is such a shame because I love it so much. Her consistency with the 4T has improved so much this season, and she has everything to be a great skater, so hopefully she can shine next season and finally make that World team.

 

[Jeanie19]

Rion. Beautiful dress. A couple of mistakes but still a good skate.

I'm very happy Niina is back, but I don't think she's really fit again. I hope they didn't rush her comeback.

That's a thing I always fear when skaters are coming back from injury. That they are coming back too soon.

But she has done remarkably well here. She is going to be the best of the non-Japanese girls. And that is a great achievement in itself, even without adding in a broken foot.

WELL DONE NIINA!!!

She's so lovely to watch, but that was messy.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Mako started out so strongly, but then she tried for three 3Lzs and didn't get a combo in since this is one of her first international outings, hopefully she can get more chances next season and can use this as a learning moment

 

[Jeanie19]

Mako. I love her dress. A few mistakes, but still a good program and skate.

I recall seeing Mako back in 2019 at Skate America. Not one of her first international outings, but she has been away from the international scene for a while. I too hope she can learn and grow from this experience...

So Makar and Valtter. Do both have their minimums for Worlds? Do we know who's going?

Valtter has it. Makar needs it for free.

 

[snowflake]

Probably Brandon can do better. Where is he from, where is he training?

GO Euken! Went for the 3A but sadly down.
