An overloaded slow middle section with those back-to-back jumps, but a terrific skate from Liza.

What's with all these Olympic music staples this afternoon? Butterfly Lovers, Malaguena, and now Carmen?

Caroline skated really bad, popping lots of jumps :( Her presentation was equally bad. Poor her. Liza did very well!

I think it's because she Knows she can redo the jump or add something in the free. The SP has just 2 jumps and a combo.

Wow, clean skate. She needs more speed, though, and the program was empty in parts.

Score: 56.98+57.49 = 114.47 (PB), 167.98 (PB), and in 2nd out of 3

She has said in an interview she feels more stressed in sp and more relaxed in Lp, I dont think it is fear of competing, but she certainly has issues with the opening combo in sp.

Cesario is :love::love::love: Her PCS should be at least as high as Liza's, but it certainly won't...

Only started watching halfway through Samantha's footwork. The playback looks like she had some good triples. The footwork is AMAZING. Her style is wonderful. I hope to see a lot more of her in the future.

its called an SP headcase
I have never seen anyone bury their standings so bad in their SP that even a lights outs LP wont be enough for a medal like Tuk does

114+ for that. I feel like that score could have been higher, but somehow I'm not surprised. Good for her though, big improvement from the sp.

But then I remember back to GPF and JN last season where Machida was truly a disaster. There's still 2 months, afterall.

I love how Mae Berenice isn't wearing a dress, very refreshing. Although the way the skates are white against the black pants holder are a little distracting. She's doing amazing though.

Nice skate for Mae Berenice! This crowd is really into the skating today. I wonder how it will stack up against Samantha.

I appreciate Meite's athleticism and this sort of program suits her, but she needs a lot more polish and there were some lapses where she just stopped doing anything with her arms/hands, for a second I thought she'd forgotten her choreography. And I lost interest in the program about halfway through--I think the music cuts needed to have more variety in there for something the length of an FS.
