They announced Herr Cinquanta in the audience, and he took his bows.
Now the 2nd group is on the ice.
Please, please please, I hope this group is not as boring as the first. Except for the charisma/aura that Adelina brings with her, nobody else shone imho.

Sofia Biryukova was beautiful! I love her skating!
Let's hope she can hold it together tomorrow, I've never seen her do a clean LP. I love her arm movementsOriginally Posted by christinaskater
They totally deleted poor Rach out of any show time, whereas Kira Korpi has the camera on her at all times, btw watching Mao is like watching Michelle circa 1996 Worlds (emotional).
And the 2006 Olympic Champion Arakawa is the Japanese announcer.
Hypnotic arm movements! I guess we all have to watch out for her as well! She is eligible for Europeans and worlds!!! She is exciting!
Haruka Imai (JPN)
3Lz+2T - probably flutz, or was it a flip? Danish commentators say lutz

2A - a bit low

Clean performance by the Japanese girl (aka 3/2, 3R, 2A), but my pet peeve is that she needs to straighten her free leg on the donut spin, but her last spin was relatively fast. Still another pretty pretty skater...

Clean short... let's see how she does tomorrow.
Gorgeous performance by Rach, ahhhh what a difference a clean performance makes, puts a smile on my face and a joy in my heart. LOVE the music as well. And I would love it if Rach would put in a stag jump or two, as well as a split falling leaf.
Thus far, best out of all the American ladies.
Good job!
They knock Rachael down to 5th even with a clean skate. :(

Very nice performace... nice smile at the end.
Nice clean performance by Mao, but the whole time I was thinking whom would I pick to be World Champion this year ~ Mao? Carolina? Alissa?
None of them are power jumpers, jump about the same, and they all have really good artistry/presentation, so I suppose if they all skate clean it will be a case of apples or oranges, whatever the judges like best on that night. Reminds me of the 1994 Olympic debates between G&G versus M&D.
