Weird, first time I've had such a problem with IN, had to restart my computer & come back in again. As long as it doesn't give out for the 2nd group of skaters I'll be fine.
3 lutz - maybe an edge call, rotated, falls
looked like another 3 flip to 2 toe, scraped through
combo spin, good
spiral - holds first position for ages, then a bit shaky and slow on change of edge between next 2
2 axel, near fall, hand down on landing
layback
attacks the footwork
42.64 - 3rd, Lacoste still in first
Poor Annete Dytrt! She had terribal falls on 2 first jumps presumably because of underotations. She is in such a bad shape..
Jenna is on the ice. She looks do tall comparing to other girls..Oh, had a painful fall too!
