Patrick had sort of an up and down practice. Daisuke's practice was fine but not too much success on quad.

Next 2 refer to the same Chantelle Kerry of Australia

annmjensen Ann Jensen
chantelle a beauty. Nice voodoo daddy music

examinerskating Jackie Wong
Kerry - 3loop (fall), 3toe (ur? fall), 2axel

examinerskating Jackie Wong
Kohpon - 2axel, 3sal, 2flip-2loop - wrap wrap wrap

examinerskating Jackie Wong
Conservative skate from Kohpon, but clean - let's hope we get a bunch more of these clean programs today

Too many costumes on Miss Lau. #lookinmirrorandtake4thingsoff

blazingblades Peter Murray
Skating to Blood Theme from TV show Dexter, Miss Lau must be portraying femme assassin!

Major props to Singapore's Brittany Lau for skating to music from the show "Dexter."

But then,

annmjensen Ann Jensen
@icenetwork no. This music is AWFUL. Don't care if show is good or not. Not melody. iCK

JunoConsult Alexandra Nelson
There are skaters from Thailand, Malaysia, and the Phillipines. Who knew?

Do the next 3 refer to the same music? :)

examinerskating Jackie Wong
Take Five, Six, Seven, Eight ..

dapperderp jen
Ah balls, not another Take 5. I can't listen to this stupid song anymore.

annmjensen Ann Jensen
Love the look, love the music, love the bangs! #Zhaira!

Zhaira Costiniano is adorable

examinerskating Jackie Wong
Costiniano - 3lutz (<< 2ft), 3sal (sorta stepped out), 2axel (fall)

JunoConsult Alexandra Nelson
Axel from shoot-th-duck. No axel, no shoot-the-duck.

Not sure who:

Xanboni Xan Nelson
Gonna to complain abt this skater's lack of readiness for prime time, but not b4 I point out that I wish I cld skate 1% that well.

Ah. Questions answered.

Take Five is getting irritating but Zhaira Costiniano looked like she was having fun out there.

blazingblades Peter Murray
@examinerskating some very nice edge work. Enjoyed the ebb and flow Zhaira created.

Costume diss:

Xanboni Xan Nelson
I can see EXACTLY the iconography of pink swirls and a glove with the celtic music. It's perfect. /sarcasm.

examinerskating Jackie Wong
I would've never thought "Irish dance" w/that costume.

Xanboni Xan Nelson
Ok, this is actually soem celtic take on Simple Gifts. I'm lost.

More digs on the costum

annmjensen Ann Jensen
Why a samba dress for Riverdance Reyna?? I like Riverdance.... Rough skate...

My opinion of #4CC so far: Skating has come a long way since the days when you could tell the bad skaters by who had the worst costumes.

Xanboni Xan Nelson
@annmjensen @examinerskating She got dressed in the dark.

So sick of Love You Like a Love Song! I have to hear it multiple times a day at work!

hotincleveland Truly S.
What #4CC has revealed to me is that the old days are gone. Today, even the bad skaters have absolutely lovely costumes. :thumbsup:

I forgot Tim David is manager of Team Philippine until he keeps posting pictures of adorable Zhaira Costiniano. Hi Tim. When are you gonna post again to update us on our favorite Philippine skaters?

Thanks for all the updates, SF!

Looks like it turned into home ice disadvantage for Chan.:biggrin: If he goes to other places to compete, he'd have been prepared for the differences and new environment. This time, it was a surprise for Patrick that he didn't prepare. I think he should be better in LP.
