Quite solid skate, 6 triples (maybe some URs). She need more POW, though, to match this music

A nice start to the ladies free. To me, the only woman that didn't look out of sorts in the warm up was Gosviani, but hopefully this performance is the start of some strong skating!

If all those triples are rotated she should score well.

Quite a nice skate from Guo, but being eight points behind she still needs luck not to finish on last place.

I never noticed before that Kexin skates with closed fists. Now I'll never be able to unsee it...

Red dress with lots of silver and black sparkle on body. Red rose in hair

3Lz+3T - landed solidly. Looked 3T<
3Lz - long entry, fall. Looked <
3Lo
LSp
CCoSp
2A+3T - maybe 3T<
3F - e, held on, foot down early
2S+2T+2Lo
StSq - need more character
ChSq
2A
FCSp - slow and lacked features

She can jump, but she just looks so disengaged its distracting. She need to sell her elements

:laugh: The commentators from my country noticed that too.

Oh, Kexin. She's talented, but she always skates like she'd rather be somewhere else, why?

Zijun LI (CHN)

Music: Coppelia by Leo Delibes

Blush pink delicate strapless dress. Lots of white beading on top. Matching flower in hair

3F+2T - seemed planned this way
2A - just a turn on ice, when she reached for the toe
3Lz - e, twofooted, swinging free leg
FCSp
CCoSp
3S+2T
3F - hard fall, looked <
2A
1S
StSq
ChSq
LSp

Sad skate, she seemed so slow. Only 2 clean triples. Is she still injured or just undertrained?

Score: 37.71+48.69-1.00=85.40, 138.98, in 3rd out of 3

I love Zijun, she is so adorable. I think this season is her transition season from girl to woman, or so I hope. It hurts me when she falls.:cry:

Too bad about that skate. Her quality is so pleasing to watch on the ice, but the elements were just not there tonight.

Nice work on the camera crew part by immediately cutting to some guy on what looked like a Kindle RIGHT after her program ended. :rolleye:

OMG Zijun :cry:.
She was injured, AFAIK. It looks like she hasn't recovered completely.
