Gold's choreography is great and she sold it well. So much improvement since last season.

Agreed. I expected to find this program blah after all I'd read about it, but this was really enjoyable.
Satoko still has the highest TES of the night, this is a bit unexpected.

Yeah I was noticing how there seemed to be a flourish or nuance to every beat of music. Marina has a way of tucking things into the music and I think we get so used to seeing D/W and V/M skate her routines with such mastery we forget how difficult the intricacy of what she creates can be and what it takes to bring it out.

Gracie is impressing me with the way she's tackling the choreo. Still feels a little rushed and rough at moments but if that's what she's focusing on right now, I think it's ok that we don't see a triple/triple just yet.

The choreography itself may be ok, but there is still little connection to the music. A PCS of 60 is too high.

Elena has staaarrrr quality! She is the best Russian baby of the bunch. I hope she survives puberty and nothing untoward happens to her.

Elena is being all sorts of cute right now. She's so excited about her performance. As she should be!!

She should start focusing on actually landing triples and hard combos. Her jumping ability is non-existent now.

Incredible performance from Radionova. So solid, so effortless, so much expression throughout.

The choreography itself may be ok, but there is still little connection to the music. A PCS of 60 is too high.

She [Gold] was moving her upper body to the music a lot of the time.

Radionova's music is something I could imagine Valentina skate to but not a 14-year-old girl!
