Princesses on the ice. But I don't watch warm-ups. Will do PBP though.

Oops, missed the beginning of obscure European Lady No.1
Gwendoline Didier
I saw a
clean Triple Toe - Double Toe
a European (read bad) spiral sequence
Triple Toe - fall out
Double Axel - double Toe - Double Toe - laboured but clean
Steps - bleh
Couple of blah spins

Warm-up shows clean Triple Lutz, and one definitely underrotated jump.
French team is relatively tame, singing loud football songs together and jumping up and down with flags. Is Joubert wearing lifts or is he just that much taller than everyone else.

Score: 75,77

France was really hurt by the format. I'm sure they would have rather sent an extra dance team and left Gwendoline at home.

He's 1.79 according to the ISU bio. Florent Amodio is supposed to be really short, but I imagine Yannick and Fabian should be around 1.80.

Double Axel - clean and high
Triple Lutz - high, but 2-footed landing and stumbles
Triple Flip - high, but bad fall
Triple Toe - high - and saved the landing :agree:
Camel spin - bad
Triple Lutz - high, but fall and possible underrotation
Double Axel - clean
Spiral Sequence - her hands and arms are trying to tell us that this is indeed a program with music
Triple Salchow - bad fall
Layback spin - European, read - bad!
Generic footwork 101, circular - oh, that's so carmen
Combination spin - bad

That's what I call a disaster. Two positive things: she is pretty to look at and her jumps have good height, she just can't land them. I like how they pick the landed jumps to show in the slowmo. Russians are so boring compared to the French. And Smirnov was wearing the same shirt to the Europeans SP press conference (sorry, photographic memory), Yuko's sweater looks like something I was wearing at 12.

Score: 69.61 (Hah! Outskated by Gwendoline Didier!)

Good morning! How's Katarina doing?
Badly, Didier moved ahead of her overall. Three deductions will do that to you.

In terms of size or in terms of fashion? :)

Triple Lutz - not bad at all!
Triple Toe - Double Toe - clean as a whistle
Triple Loop - Double Axel Sequence - clean
Layback - wait, an American layback, beautiful!
Spiral sequence - two good positions, one ugly one
Double Salchow - Double Toeloop - clean, but probably not what she was looking for
Triple Toeloop - good
Double Axel - very nice
nice moves in the field
Sitspin - aborted, lost balance but no fall
Footwork - slow, generic
Triple Salchow - girl got guts
Combination spin - she should do 3 layback spins each program, that's her best

Program was bland, tingly slow violin music. But it was well done, she stayed on her feet. And what I saw was rotated.

Score: 91.05
