I don't like this black costumes for POTO by Ekaterina and Ilia...She should wear something red or navy blue maybe...

Lordy, this R/T free dance seemed like it lasted a half-hour. I found it dull and uninspired, but I am not a POTO fan....except when Akiko Suzuki does it. :)

I kept remembering D/W's POTO performance at nationals and thinking how sub par the Russians' version is in comparison.

Riazanova/Tkachenko skating to POTO : To the cemetery, All I ask of you (reprise), chandelier crash

Some problems with twizzles and the lift lacked sharpness

FD: 41.82+43.95=85.77,145.56, in 1st (out of 5)

Very fond of Hubbell/Donahue FD, I think it's one of the best out there so far this season. Well done, probably a bronze medal.

Madison and Zach were amazing...really they could get that third spot for olys, the dance was ever better that last week's at SA, those step sequences are beautiful and there is connection, fluidity, some thought in their movement - I love them :)

Hubbell/Donohue had a lovely skate. Good chemistry. They just need a bit more sharpness overall to move up to the next level.

H/D have good programs and are efficient completing their elements but I think sky_fly20 is on to something - they look big, bulky, slow. They always have, but today it seems to be the case even more so.

R/T appear to be a team going nowhere.

Honestly, at this point they should just either give up or do some radical changes. New partners, new coach, relocation, something. Because they really are stuck. That FD choreography was just appalling.

Personal bests by a smidge. They look ecstatic with their scores!
