She stopped skating when the music already hadn't been playing.

Thanks! That makes sense.

[Alchamei]

[ahy]

Hangs on on 3loop, maybe <

loving Zijun's music!

 

[lyndichee]

Clean so far, I hope she can podium at least!

Edit: Damn did finish the 3F, spoke too soon.

Hmmmm, really liking Zijun's dress :agree:

Really? I think she looks like she's serving cocktails at a high end bar.

She's totally exhausted, the speed is completely gone, and those jumps and spins have no conviction at all. Also where are the transitions?

Those spins are going to cost her.

hmmmmmm I'm not sure that skate was enough to stay ahead of Polina.

Totally ran out of gas in the last half of the program. No speed. Weak spins. I would place her well below Polina. Also, her combinations are not as difficult.

Well, at least it's a high-end bar

The home crowd really does not cheer much for Zijun hwell:

 

[begin]

She really lost steam right after the StSq. Maybe consider moving it towards the end, if it helps Zijun keep her concentration.

 

[tulosai]

Victoria = whatever

Zijun I really enjoyed. Shame about the one spin. Gorgeous costume too.

 

[blue_idealist]

I might have to go to bed after Daleman... I want to see Lip... but I'm tiiiiired.

 

[zamboni step]

hmmmmmm I'm not sure that skate was enough to stay ahead of Polina.

It really isn't going to, she basically did a 1F, probably invalid flying spin, maybe e on the lutz and that combo spins was very slow.

 

[satine]

Has there ever been a case wear a woman wore fingerless, lacy gloves for a skate? I think that could look quite elegant :think:

 

[mirai4life]

this competition is so sad with underrotations.

 

[samson]

Hmmmm Gabriella has something stuck on the front of her dress... oh wait...

 

[lyndichee]

Polina slay count at 2 now. I really hope Li Zijun improves as the season goes on.
