Man.

Let's hope the second groups kicks it up a ton of notches. It's like all those ladies watched Alissa in 2012, Carolina in 2009 and Laetitia Hubert in Albertville to get "inspired" for this free skate.

She landed some solid jumps, but there were still many messy landings.

Must've gotten a music deduction

Might be just me but she seemed to have pretty weak transitions, it felt like she was just going from one element to another especially in the early parts

"Maybe we need to pump more oxygen into the building" I love these British Eurosport commentators. :laugh:

Maybe it could be the pollution problem...

Dull skates so far.

6 skaters in, Guo still has the highest TES of the day. Good for her (and I hope we see more of her!), but a bit of a letdown watching the other skaters so far.

Guo still #1 FS program in my personal rankings. Hopefully this one will be better.

Everyone struggling so much and not getting even 100 pts, maybe the commentators have a point?

Best of the night with 5 triples (will have to check for URs). Shame about the two pops. She looks pleased, though.

Can't say I like Anna's music, but I do like her program. Maybe she could do with a little more passion.

Problems with both axels, but by far the strongest technically today. Needs more work on basic skating and presentation, but she's improving.

On a shallow note: her hair looks like a mess.

Score: 62.15+56.23 = 118.38 (PB), 178.62 (PB) and in 1st (out of 8)

Agree. I really don't like her music but I think she has been delivering it quite well in national competitions especially the footwork sequence.
