When has she skated clean though? When she was a young phenom? She does have an attractive carriage and seems to love skating and hasn't given up, but it is very painful to watch her trying to get through her programs in competition after competition, unsuccessfully.

A lot of messy landings, but she still need at lot of polish. Her posture is not good, and speed could be improved.

I had a total blackout on my screen for the first 10 seconds or so, but when I finally was able to refresh and come back in I saw the French gal skating to "FEVER", which I love! 
My favorite performance to this, and the one I was imagining in my head, was Maria Butyrskaya's at the 1998 Olympics. She skated 1st in her group, and I recall Scott saying that it was the "kiss of death", but despite everything her score managed to hold up almost the whole way through. Too bad she eventually lost out to Chen Lu, but LuLu was magical that night!

Kiira's dress is weird. 
Thanks. Cynthia looked very pretty and somewhat slimmer then. That was a good program for her -- certainly her jumps were much better. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to have improved any since then. If anything, she seems to have lost some skill on her jumps -- don't know if she's coming back from injuries.

Why does Korpi always have such problems ending her Long Program? Come on girl.
Anyway, I wish she had used this music for her SP and kept last season's LP (with some updates).

Those 38595815891 doubles are going to kill Kiira's score.
I have to admit I was so taken by Kiira's beauty that I didn't bother to see what jumps she did, except I think it was a clean performance with a couple of doubles thrown in like a 2R?
I love love love her dress, hair, et al. She looks exactly like Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden's younger sister, Princess Madeleine.

Has Kiira stopped attempting the 3Lz?

Ha, Kiira looked surprised to be in first. Or was that a grimace?

Mae B obviously needs more polish and power. I don't think she's "ungraceful," just that she doesn't have a small-boned frame that is more associated with being "lyrical". With improving her overall skills, gaining more polish and increasing her speed and power (also finding the right costumes, music and choreo that is more flattering and would enhance her strengths), she could be more competitive.

I love Agnes' dress.
