She jumps after the ending pose and seems very happy for her skate! Good for her. She seems a lot better than earlier in the season. Injury not hampering anymore?

that certainly didn't look like a 2t,more like 1T

**Mirunna** · 12-09-2010, 06:24 AM

It was a 3Lz-2T and it looked clean on the replay

not really she almost slipped on the 2T,not really clean compared to the other russians

**oleada** · 12-09-2010, 06:34 AM

Kinda hard to slip on a 1t when you didn't even do such an element.

Good for the Russians to skate so well after all the hype and pressure they have been under for years. Great for zijun to skate well at home and for Risa to get a new PB. Very sad for Yazmin... :(

I usually prefer Adelina to Liza, but today I believe Liza outperformed Adelina. Liza came a long way since Brasov( she was so slow and tentative there). Today she skated with fire and attack, I loved it! Unfortunately I believe that pressure is starting to get to Adelina. She skated well, but she was a little tentative until she landed her last jump; after that, she she was lovely as always. I hope she skates well tomorrow. If both girls skate clean tomorrow, it can go either way, since Adelina gets "e" on her Lutz, while Liza gets huge GOE on hers!
Risa is great! I really hope she gets on the podium tomorrow. I absolutely love her skating
Polina was clean and I loved that she did a 3-3 for the first time this season. It was very nice to see her so happy at the end of her program.
Zijun LI: I'm so glad she made the final. She didn't disappoint. Lovely skater
Gong was nice too. Too bad about the mistake on the 2A
I'm sorry for Gao. I believe her score was too low to be honest. She landed a 3-3 and the 3L. Why her TES is only 23.21?
My heart break for Siraj when I saw her face at the end of her program. She is out of contention for medals, but I really hope tomorrow she skates clean in order to be satisfied with herself and regain confidence. Out of the three american girls, she is my favourite!
