But the step sequence was nice. Love her dress. But again, it feels like everyone so far is missing the STYLE of Finnstep.

ETA: That should be it for the Chinese pair. Ouch.

I feel compelled to be nationalistic and cheer for the Aussies but I really don't like their skating :/

That's what the inventors of the Finnstep said as well. I think the ISU is to blame, though, for their specifications. And this is only the second time this pattern has been performed IIRC so I guess it's still a learning curve for the coaches/choreographers/skaters?

The Australians' movements and form of execution remind me a lot of I/K - please do not throw stones at me - they both look heavy (their movements, not them) and lacking in speed/difficulty.

The Chinese are head of the Ukrainians!

The Aussies are next!

The Aussies are nice but man they are slow. And they need to be sharper. I'm being picky because I like them. The music isn't helping--the first two sections are indistinguishable. But a very good job for them. Love their sunniness.

The Turks tend to get a little frantic, but I really like them. I hope they don't get screwed on their music like they did at Worlds last year. She is gorgeous. It'll be close with the Aussies.
