Sorry about the glitch:

Sebestyen, Otonal

3S2T2R
1L
1F
FCSp, to donut
SpSt
3F
CUSp, coe
3L df, hasn't opened up
3T2T
1A
CoSp
SlSt
CCoSp

Rather boring program overall, not much of transitions or musical expression.

Suguri, Song of Spirits

3L2T
3F? might be 2
T popped
CCoSp cam, coe, sit, layback // sit, twS, Y
3L
3F2T
SpSt, coe, bi hB, poorly held and shaky, shaky
2A, out of spiral
FSSp, good jump, rather poor position in spin
2S
FCSp, travelling and she did not manage to caught her blade for the donut
SlSt, good
CCoSp

Lovely program with "cute" touches in places, I think it suits her well, but I just don't "get" her skating, for me it's decent, but not memorable.

Meier, Pride and Prejudice

3L2T2R
3F2T
3F
CCoSp, cam, sit, twU // twS, U coe
CUSp, back to forw, coe, really the same spin as Sebestyen
2L
SpSt
2A
3S
FSSp, coe, twS, hands behind
SlSt, nice flow
2T step out 2T
CoSp

finished slightly behind the music. Same style as Suguri, but IMHO much better done or probably it just suits her well. Strangely I haven't found all the 'cute' touches in her LP as annoynying as I had found them at CoR. Lovely, sweet, but won't cut against the top competitors...

Kim, The Lark Ascending

3F3T
2A out of ina bauer
LSp to B.
3L
CSp, nice and original changes of position
SlSt, weird pattern more like serpentine along the long axis
3L2T2R, no flow out
FSSp, coe, twS
2A, step out
3S2T out of spiral
SpSt, coe to hB, bi hB, fan directly to
2A
CCoSp

Very well done. This style suits her very well and she just do all the elements for effortlessly... audience loved her too.

Ando, Violin Concerto

1L
3S
1F
FSSp, coe, twS
SpSt, coe, fan, bi hB

CCoSp, cam, lfS, L // sit, twU, Y
LSp, to b2h to B

Actually, despite all the popped jump i liked this performance more than I liked the one in Paris. More accurate, with better attention to the music, but she was clearly upset. People whistled on her score, even though there were clear "oohs" during the skate, so the people must have understand that she made mistakes.

Asada, [Czardas

3A, fall possibly ur
2A3T
3F
CiSt, very nice character
CCoSp, incl. forw attitude
2A
3L fall
SpSt fan, coe hB, nice flow
3F
CoSp
3L
LSp
FSSp

Compared to downright perfect SP this choreography is a letdown, it does nothing to enhance the impression. Really a pity. OTOH, since I like Kim more overall the results suits me just fine.

What a dreadful skate for Miki. There must be something wrong - but what?

Congrats to Yu Na. She earned this one. What a great first season in the ladies!

ETA: Just noticed Mao fell TWICE. Aww... but it 's hard to feel sorry for her with that huge talent. She has a challenge and I'm sure she will enjoy working to meet it.

Thanks so much for the pbp, Anna!
