I vastly dislike Leonova's program. I know it's probably 'original' but I'm not digging it. I hate how she always has step outs... and still gets high scores. Sigh.

Ashley's score was horrifically low... And she two footed the lutz! That's the first two-foot this season... A nasty habbit turning up again? The Lutz also had weird looking take-off... I guess she's confused while she's relearning the edge...

Alena Leonova
In redskirt , white arms and blue top
Skating to Russian folk (kalinka)
3f2t (tano)
3ltz from f/w
flying sit
music faster
into spiral
lots of Russian folk character and smiling
spread eagle into 2A with arms crossed in front very nice
furious footwork variation of speed
final combo spin
never a dull moment in that
she's happy

Score 61.60 New SB, into 3rd

Both the entry, and position during the 2A are difficult
Likewise the 'tano' on the 2t

Well if Leonova recieved a 61.60... this should probably be 65+ :no:

That Triple Lutz I would like to see again.

EDIT: Probably downgraded. Score is low.

I still don't understand why Ashley is sow decidedly below the rest of the pack... Sounds like they're all having rough skates. :(

Miki's 3-2 came out of much better speed than usual. But I REALLY wanted to see her 3/3!
Go Miki!

I am surprised and happy that Rochette was placed below Leonova.

Miki did well, other than that awful layback. Deserves 1st.
