- I'm super happy for YuNa. She skated a clean, exquisite SP. That was all I really asked for from the skating gods! She looked soo nervous in the warm-up and beginning but she got through and cracked some smiles. No matter what the ultimate outcome tomorrow, I will cherish this as part of her last competition.
- Personally, I have been really annoyed at the lack of edge calls on Lipnitskaia's 3Lz's but seeing how heavy she looked leading up to her skate and looking so dejected in the K&C, I wish we could trade a clean 3F (=clean program) for an edge call on her 3Lz so we could spare her being so upset. So much pressure, skating at the Olympics at home at the tender age of 15.
- Carolina Kostner was simply amazing and looked relaxed and engaged. So glad she brought back her lovely 3F-3T and finally has a good performance at the Olympics.
- To be honest, I was chatting with some other fans live during the event and I predicted that Mao would make a (major) mistake, although I didn't expect her to unravel to that extent. She looked unsure and the crowd was going crazy for Adelina right before her. She had the toughest draw of the event, IMO. I hope she is able to put it behind her and skate her heart out in the LP.
