Kamienicki did 3S+2T, 3Lo and 2A. I didn't see the spins or anything else, no comment on rotation.
Schott: 2A, 3T?+2T, 2Lo. Posture seems hunchy (seems quite tall) and she looks down to the ice a lot. Some nice details in the program and spins looked ok. Into 2nd!
#4 Nicole SCHOTT GER staking on Tango de Roxanne. That's a risky music to skate in Korea, what with Yuna's Senior debut SD music. But she did a respectable job.![]()
I didn't see any of Oba's jumps, but I was impressed with her basic skating and musicality. Enjoyable skater to watch. Okay, here's the replay: 3S+3T gorgeous! but now it's buffering. I wouldn't be surprised if it led. Her footwork was strong.
Oba's 3Lo looked good too.
I liked Miabi Oba the most so far. Jumps are tiny, but 3-3 looked rotated. And her presentation is nice. She is in first
Najarro:
3F(maybe 3T - my feed jumped in the entrance to the jump)+2T, 3Lo UR fall, 2A. A bit slow in the spins and the footwork wasn't very complex. But she is smooth and overall an enjoyable skater.
ETA: Pretty sure 3Lo will be <<

Canada is at risk of not having a girl in the FS, with Najarro in 4th with 24 skaters still to go.
The second group is warming up now. Risa SHOJI of Japan will the 5th. I like her.
