Mira Leung (Can #2)
Terracotta Warriors

seems to be doubling some 3pls...singled 2 ax, etc.

Much stronger later- lots of high tech content. Weaker artistry, Euro guys think.

"A talent there but I must say I didn't like this program much."
"Odd technique...placement of head, etc."

Chris & Simon a bit surprised that she goes into 1st:

Just holds onto 3 flip.

only a 2 salchow

2-footed the solo 3 lutz

As it ends, Chris says: "Salvation!" Big applause. "Super perf, 5 clean 3pls, lots of style, etc."

 

[Frau Muller]

[Kirkbiggestfan]

from eurosport:
THE FINAL SKATER IN THE SECOND GROUP: Julia Sebestyen, Budapest's finest, will skate now for Hungary. She was in 16th after the short.... but oh, no.... several falls.... and a disasterous free programme. Skating to a selection of Hungarian dances by Brahms.

 

[Frau Muller]

I tried! I tried!!! Still at darn meeting but taking a 'poddy break' to check scores. Feel sorry for Sebestyen. To think - Euro champ a couple of years ago. I wish her well.

[Frau Muller]

Miki seems to be having a melt-down, at halfway point. Too bad. Audience encouraging her.

 

[Jane2]

Is Miki doing bad? I thought I heard the eusport guy say that even the simplest jumps are beyond her.....is that right?

 

[Frau Muller]

yes, Jane2 - that's what I meant by 'melt-down.' Time to dump Heiss!!! Miki down into 5th.

[Jane2]

Come on, Emily!!!

 

[rain]

Yes, Miki skated very badly. Two falls and at least two other botched jump landings - also several other balance checks etc. Not a good skate for her.

 

[Frau Muller]

So Emily into 1st by many points! (see above for scores) Now...

Sarah Meier (Switz)
Vanessa Mae Bolero

3 luts - 2 toe - 2 loop! scratchy but there!!!

3 flip - 2 toe

3 flip on its own (maybe the above not done?)

super spin - changing edges twice

2 lutz solo

solo 3 toe OK

END "Wow!" "Ran outa gas at end. Brilliant tech content. Super step sequence." "five 3pls incl 3 sal at very end." Simon thinks she'll overtake Emily Hughes.... [Gwendal interviews Emily. She's chatty! 'A personal best for me!']

Meier into 2nd and crowd boos a bit:

Huge 'bravo!' on 2 ax. roll eyes

Is that the eurosport guys saying 'bravo' and who's rolling eyes? Or did Emily give a 'bravo'...
in my opinion she has a tendency to celebrate her jumps a bit overmuch. I find it quite funny and cute, but slightly annoying.
