Ladies - Free Program

[SerpentineSteps]

hmmm I hear music but see Chan's face

My feed's switched to Haruka. Her technique kind of reminds me of Akiko Suzuki's with Yukari Nakano's carriage. The Canadian commentators seem really impressed with her speed/energy ("pas croyable"... incredible).

Ooooh replay showed a nice 2A-3T.

Haruka has a lovely smile.

I've been wondering this all day, but it seems much more noticable tonight w/the Ladies, but...Is the ice sounding hard and brittle to anyone else? It just sounds so scratchy and hard.

Could be just me, but I am wondering.

I noticed with Marchei particularly.

What are you guys watching? I saw Imai's entire performance. Not particularly inspired, but I look forward to see where she goes in the next 2-3 years.

Haruka looks happy...but I missed most of her program due to my feed though.

From the replay, she looks like she has great speed and very secure jumps.

beggers can't be choosers. It's not like we're paying for this coverage. Be thankful we can watch it at all.

??? What coverage are y'all watching?

[evangeline]

Haruka into the lead!

Fall on the 3F for Amelie Lacoste

I've noticed it, too. But I noticed it at NHK as well. I wonder if it's more to do with the skaters themselves and not the ice? Maybe they're not clean on their edges even more so now than in the past? I don't know?

Why does everyone seem to use exactly the same cuts for Scheherezade? The suite is so long, you'd think they'd find some other part of the music to use.

Ok, I think Alyssa's up!
