Great skate! Based on her TES (about 10 above Sot), she could move into gold!

Excellent skate for Lipnitskaia! :clap: Good for her for the 2A+3T fix and loading the 3Z-2-2 in the second half. Well performed too. She is certainly a medal contender going into Sochi, maybe even gold if Kim and Asada falter.

Sotnikova too. Russia must be thrilled to have 2 solid ladies competitors going into Sochi. They will certainly help secure a team Gold for Russia, too.

Well Julia just laid it down. For me she doesn't have the emotional depth yet, but gosh is she talented.

Aaaaaaaaand she just scored 139+ and sailed into first. Honestly these scores make me wonder how much Euros is inflated. I would imagine it would create some good political pull for different federations to get the scores of their skaters pumped up at Euros and 4CC (if the major skaters showed up at 4CC!)

I think Gracie can beat both of these Russian girls she has better jumps and artistry than the both of them and Carolina it seems her best days are behind her she was lovely though .

Great to see great skating leading into the Olympics. I think Julia draws the crowd from that very first gaze. Suits the character, the whole story. She has what Michelle Kwan has. She's captivating. Well done!

If all three are clean I don't think she can beat either of them, but I guess we'll see in Sochi. Based on past history, I think 1) Julia 2)Gracie 3) Adelina is most likely (I don't mean that as a podium prediction, just as their relative placements).

Lots of jumps, she landed 7 triples and 2 double axels. Needs a lot more work on posture and presentation, though...

Julia is absolutely stunning! And for those saying Gracie is better artistically than Julia and Adelina, no, no and no!
I was a bit worriedwhen Julia had a mistake on the second combo but she is soo strong mentally, it is amazing!

Meite losing to Leonova because the judges gave the latter 8s in the PCS is just absolutely outrageous. God, the politics at these Euros have been really ugly.
