Just realized this lineup features Radionova vs. Lipnitskaia vs. Pogorilaya.

I hope the cameraman can find Evgenia soon in the audience

Not sure if you are asking me, but since I'm spanish I'm going to answer anyway
I find it amusing that so many japanese skaters are performing something in this flamenquish style (it that even a word? ), but it is a kind of music I like, so my view is: bring it on guys!!

Yes but.. I see you are spanish. Don't you wonder why everyone wants to be a flamenco dancer?

 

[Lota]

As TAT says, her skating is very soft and feminine :yes:

 

[WeakAnkles]

Rajicova's step sequence...oy! It was all flailing arms and two feet. I thought she was skating to the Rocky music theme. But a good outing for her.

 

[desertskates]

Good girl, Nicole! I really like her.

 

[Yatagarasu]

TAT and Grishin talking about the UR there, but I think they liked her overall.

 

[ancientpeas]

It was a bit of a dog's breakfast to be honest. Chock and Bates were good and the Russian pair team in first was good... the men were kind of splatty.

 

[TwinnerA]

I don't care how worn out it is, this music always gives me shivers.

Me too. Love Story, the movie (no matter how poorly acted it was) and the music will always be a favorite of mine.

Rajicova has a UR on her 3T.

Might go behind Matsuda's 61.

 

[Princessroja]

Yay Nicole! A new PB by a hair too.

The Russian commentators said, the step seq was good

 

[Sugarpova]

Pls keep reporting guys!
Match decided to show a movie with Stallone now (ikr if I should laugh)))

 

[Crossover]

Nicol did a good job except the tight landing of her backend 3T in her combo, but I have a hard time to see what connection is between her music, choreography and costume though.

 

[Yatagarasu]

Come on Yulia, you've got this lady!

 

[frida80]

Just in time for Julia!

Yes. It was to you because I saw your flag and you answered what I said. I like this attitude. Some cultures feel their music is being stolen when it's used elsewhere. Cultural appropriation I believe it's referred to.

 

[Lota]

Lip's costume very much in the style of Medvedeva
