The Phantom which we will soon to be tired of after this season.
After this season? I'm tired of it already...

That would make it...
Musademba
Makarova
and... Olsson?
Yep. happy for Olsson she had a good skate. I'm curious to see the protocols on that one for why Olsson's score was what it was. None of these girls are looking like they can beat Shelepen though. I'm curious to see Polina A and Christine Gao, next week.
Mmh...I prefer the maturity of Kristine to the long legs of Shelepen.
I like Makarova better than Leonova. She's much more polished and not as messy.
Question: will Doronina return?

She's already got back. But people who saw her a couple of weeks ago during Russian team test skate say she's still in a bad shape.Yes, she will.
But I don't think she could beat Alena even in a good day. Alena is much more consistant, she is going to do 3-3 this season and landing 3Lz and 3F (and Ksenia doesn't, maybe just yet, but...)
I don't think Makarova can beat Alena either, but she is better than Gerboldt, imo and definitely has a shot at the Olympics and Worlds.
I hope Sheveleva can get a 2nd assignment, I loved her! She's so spunky and cute and has the big jumps already. Ovcharova had a similar score and is assigned to Poland, so maybe Rosa could go to Turkey or Croatia?
OMG, you're right. Very empty indeed.
OMG, the pairs are starting.
Love those karate outfits! I hope Elvis is watching.
why? I thought Firth did a great job aside from the fall on the flip.
I love them, but I have to agree with some of your points. The costumes were great with staying in traditional Japanese style, but the color mix of black/blue pants threw me off. I thought the music was a little fast for the step sequences, but when the drums kicked in at the end I think it fit much better because of that dramatic rotational lift.
Also, props to them because they were the only skaters that did an Asian-themed OD. They also had the best twizzles/lifts by far.
My sense with respect to the costumes was that they were skating in either recycled or temporary costume fixes. Everyone in the arena were somewhat put off by Maia's bicycle shorts whose hue did not match with the purple in the tops. However, the live impression was that this team was entirely in another class. Their FD was stunning live.
