Watching Julia from Hungary, I'm still sad about Vivien Papp, I wonder if she'll still be able to complete.

Ouch, yikes! Hope Kristina's OK there!

Oh, according to her ISU Bio, Kristen is now coached by my now-retired kids, Zoe Jones and Chris Boyadji.

But, it's actually Lloyd Jones sitting with Chris Boyadji. That's funny. Lloyd most recently represented Chris' country, and Chris most recently represented Lloyd's country.

Last I saw Kristen was working with Ondřej Hotárek.

That was so funny. After Kristen said all her hellos, Chris said "Hello Kristen!" And Kristen replied "Hello Chris!"

Into 2nd position. 5.49 points behind Sofja STEPCENKO (LAT), but only 0.37 ahead of Ema DOBOSZOVA (SVK).

Wow Dasa's stats are very impressive! Representing her country for 20 years now! And 10 World Championships.



Alright here comes Group 2, gooooo ladies!

Not clean with the jumps, unfortunately, but Julia maintains such a nice connection to the music.

Honestly, for selfish reasons, I think more than 24 skaters should qualify for the Free, it seems so unproportional to have 20/24 pairs qualify, but only 24/35 women.

Julia. Pretty dress and good connection to the music. Good skate.

Kristina finally getting her Worlds debut after years of coming second at German Nats and not being sent to Worlds

As Belinda said, that was beautiful from Júlia Láng. Such a pity about the mistakkes.

I'm never keen on costumes that are the same colur as the ice. If they blend in too well, it's like watching a disembodied head and limbs floating around the arena.

Gurgen Vardanjan with her. Last time I saw him was on the BBC children's series "Ice Stars" when he was coaching in the UK. So, he's now in Hungary.

There shouldn't be a cut-off at all! Let them all into the Free!

Yes, I know it's to avoid the segments getting too long, because the TV broadcasters don't like things being too long. But I don't care! I want more skating!

Woohoo Kristina!

I thought she looked a little overeager at the beginning but she went through marvellously.

 

[icewhite]

She's so enjoying it...

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Kristina is a gorgeous skater, with beautiful lines.

I'm happy she's able to finally shine internationally and am very excited to see her at Euros next season too.

 

[Jeanie19]

Kristina. Elegant black dress. Good skate, so happy in her Worlds debut.

 

[4everchan]

ok... i am going to bed... have fun you all !

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yeah that step sequence was boss!

I liked that! Awesomely done by Kristina

 

[EdgeCall]

52.93 won't be enough, I'm afraid.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

New PB for Kristina by just a few tenths. She has the potential to score higher, and I hope that the German fed will also send her out to some Challengers before Euros next season, so she can get the chance to improve her PB further and to gain more competitive experience.

I couldn't agree more!

I have liked Kristina for a while as well. So glad that she has finally got the opportunity to appear on the big stage.

And she seems to be absolutely loving it! That is always good to see.

Into 4th, just 0.08 behind Ema DOBOSZOVA (SVK).

If they both get into the Free, this is going to make for an epic battle!
