Carolina's costume sure has a lot of bling . I like it.

[Mao88]

This is not looking good for Kiira.

Kiira KORPI (FIN)

Music: I Got Rhythm by George Gershwin

2nd after SP

3T+3T
3S - hand down
2F - stepout
FSSp - nice speed
ChSp
3Lo+2T+2Lo

SlSt
CCoSp

A couple of mistakes, but solid. Much better than her disaster LP last year.

Score: 105.14, SB, total 166.94, SB and into 1st

[Mao88]

Should be behind Polina on the FS, but probably has enough of a cushion to lead overall

[tulosai]

Agreed. Too bad as I personally prefer Polina.

This doesn't violate Zayak? (2 x 3T, 2 x 3S, 2 x 3 Lo)

[sky_fly20]

and there goes 1, I expected a meltdown from Korpi
poor Polina

still 2 more headcase left to skate Makarova and Helgesson

[sequinsgalore]

This doesn't violate Zayak? (2 x 3T, 2 x 3S, 2 x 3 Lo)

You're right! Explains her low score...

Alena has sustained what looks like a nasty injury to her knee! However, she made it to the end of her program

[beep_beep]

Looks like Alena hurt herself

[tulosai]

I hope Alena is okay! The jumps were dicey but she really is a fighter. She's made a fan out of me this year- I hope the injury isn't too bad as I want to see her at Worlds...
