A lot of popped lutzes today. I'm loving this team stuff; even Morozov and Leonova cracked a smile before her LP. I imagine this kind of 'looser' atmosphere is good for some skaters and bad for others.

[Trewyn]

She started so well with that gorgeous axel combo! Ouch. Some of those falls looked a bit painful even. The thing with the French girls is I feel that their jumps are a bit wild and uncontrolled; gorgeous when landed, but looking sloppy sometimes and yeah, potential to lose control completely.

[Trewyn]

Oh god did Yretha just lose France its bronze medal?? :(

[Jammers]

Can Gracie keep it up one more time? She hasn't had a real bad skate all season.

just noticed Adelina's hip quite large. she doesn't look easy on ice anymore. she's sticking her butt out doing crossover. urgh.
almost all jumps landed a bit forward. technique issue? top heavy?

Good comeback from Adelina after the disaster at the beginning

[FlattFan]

Ashley just double fted her 2A-3T.
not as sharp as 4cc or W. Gracie can beat her.
