Makarova looks much better this year in terms of choreography and interpretation, but seems like she lost her jumps completely :( I wonder if we will see her in Russian team this season, so far younger ones like Shelepen look much more impressive.
Gao is too sloppy, I think she looked better last year. 3F-3T was good, but everything else is mediocre. And she is still boring, Libertango isn't for her at all

I think it's good she's challenging herself to do new types of programs. I don't think it's a complete miss. I really like the step sequence and I can see her really working it as she gets more comfortable with it.

I didn't watch the Italian skater, nor did I watch her SP, just isn't my type of skater.

Nothing against her, also I don't like her music.

LSp - nice arch and Biellmann, a lot of the younger Chinese girls have this layback.

She will probably drop in the ranking

I love Geng's Caroline Zhang Pearl Spin, too bad about the fall and little bobbles here and there, the most noticeable the stop after the 2L, just odd/weird moment, and then the huge GASP from the crowd when she fell. :(

Still, I like this skater, nice sense of musicality. :)

Adelina Sotnikova has such a beautiful doll face, reminds me of the phenomenal artistic gorgeous 1996 Olympic Womens Gold Medal Champion in the All-Around in Gymnastics ~ Lilia Podkopayeva! :cool:

What a star Adelina can be...

ps: love her lavendar costume. Minimal makeup, beautiful, doesn't need a ton of cosmetics to show off her natural beauty. :)

Zhang has to work on her line and artistry, but thus far she's the best female jumper out of the Chinese women. The height she gets on her lutz and flip is amongst the best in the world imho. :cool:

Weak program from Murakami, fall and just seemed weak overall.

Knew she was going to fall on the 3F b/c her chest almost touched the ground beforehand.

Then the 3R into 1A and things like that I didn't like.

Oh well, onto the next skater.

I think it's interesting that Kanako is a year older, but it seems that she and Adelina are about the same height...
