Leonova did surprisingly good. Program is crap though but she sells it well.

Actually there is some nice choreography going on in Leonova's program as well as feel of the music and interpretation.

Yeah I wonder what happened with Mirai's jump layout. I could see how she was thinking after she popped the loop she wanted to add more content to the program.

It is a combination she was doing in 2010 but that was when you could do three double axels in a program. In the grand scheme it probably doesn't matter but it is puzzling.

Satoko looks a little rattled.

There was no passion, no fire in Leonova's "Carmen." She used to really thrive in character driven programs. I blame Morozov. :p

After watching Alena, Satoko looks like a kindergartener. In body shape, that is. Her skating is really quite mature.

Very good skate. Ambitious jumps and solid presentation, a good GP debut. Her jumps are small, so there will probably be some UR's.

Score: 57.51+54.31=111.82 (PB), 170.21 (PB), in 1st out of 4

Whoever taught Miyahara jump technique should be hanged, drowned and quartered. I've never seen triples this tiny.

Almost every single jump looked cheated. Technical panel is going to spend a veeeeery long time reviewing the jumps I guess. :p

Satoko is so talented everywhere else. Love her edges and musicality. Her jumps make me sad.

She also seems to have good awareness of her body, her movement is quite composed. I wish she'd project a bit more, though. But yeah good basics for sure.

I wonder if caroline and Mirai ever get together and talk about their situation.

Well, Mirai heard those who wanted her to smile. She really laid it on with her smile, which is a very sweet one.

Satoko is impressive. Is she really old enough to skate seniors. Physically, she looks like she is 12 or so.

Maybe even drawn for good measure ;).

Mao had an auto-erotic asphyxiation session again, clearly. ;D

According to the Sport 2 commentator (he can see protocols in real time, I think), Miyahara got 3lutz/3toe<, 3flip< and 3lutz</2toe/2toe

Mao is wearing a dress from the 2009 Japan Open when she debuted Bells of Moscow.

I thought it looked familiar. Wonder why she's wearing it again? I really liked her other dress.
