Gorgeous job by Alexes Gilles!

Very tall, long-limbed, landed all her jumps! I think she had a bobble on the flying sit spin? And I would advise her to drop the I Spin/Eggbeater Spin at the end. This goes for everyone that cannot do it as well as Sasha Cohen.

She looks to have a fabulous future in Ladies Skating in the USA!!!!! YES! I've never seen her before until now, and what I great surprise.

She's very athletic, that's for sure. She needs to develop into a finessed performer in time.

Ummm Edith Piaf? And I'm assuming you're thinking about the biopic (not the documentary) that won Marion Cotillard the 2007 Academy Award for Best Actress...

Yes, that's it! Thanks for the info. My sister has a documentary about her, thus my mistake, totally different from the FAB movie.

Alexe was wonderful. I am so happy for her.

Not a great quality, but better than nothing. Enjoy!

Wow, who was that!

Her skating was my favorite thus far, despite the missed 3Z, everything else was fabulous, especially the 3-turns-into-the-3R jump! Quick, light on her feet, fast, very good spinner. Her I Spin was almost as good as Sasha Cohen's, just not held long enough. Love the little touch of Irish Jig music in there.

Pretty nice program form Kiira Korpi.. nice refreshing music and choreo, and look. She wasn't quite on music all the way through though. Only 2lz-2t (leanind on lz in air) but 3lo and 2a good.

All right folks, the moment we've been waiting for, the last flight of women:

Think I missed someone??? The above is the order that they will skate.

I'm glad Caroline has ditched the pastel colours, though...
