3Lz+2T
3F
2A from 3turn
FCSp, donut, change of edge
SpSt, CoE b., back b.
LSp, typical level4

Ok, it was typical Slutskaya, love it or hate. This year I am closer to hate part, because choreography is completely MIA. But one cannot deny her enegry and fighting spirit.

Good choreography. The program suits her well. Pity about combo and the spiral sequence was rather shaky, but the rest was very good.

3F
2A
FCSp, basic

Personal Best:

3L2T
3F
FCSp, CoE, half-B.
2A hand down
SpSt
LSp
SlSt poor flow
CCoSp

After all traditional ice princess stuff she did in the past this one was rather unusual choice for her. Playful and somewhat retro in style. Suits her well, through. I have her ahead of Volchkova.

TSS: 28.88/27.17
Place: 56.05

Elene GEDEVANISHVILI
Music: granada
Personal Best:

3Lz
3F+2T
FCSp CoE, donut
SpSt held?
2A
SlSt intricate
LSp level4
CCoSp

Excellent skate and very good program. She need a bit better control over her moves , but the rest was nearly perfect. Deserved to be 2nd: she had harder jump content and better spins&spirals than Sokolova.

TSS: 35.41/24.76=60.19
Place: 4
