lena's spin went all the way to taiwan...

I like Lena, but these landings...

My thoughts exactly! It was good program, but the landings, ugh. Unlike Rika she will get GOE on them anyway, though.

 

[Nathan13]

I can only with very great difficulty accept a messed-up sound system during Stephen Sondheim music.
I can most definitely not forgive them if anything goes wrong during Gershwin.

Let Me Entertain You is actually composed by Jule Styne, lyrics by Sondheim :agree:

 

[NoNameFace]

I really, really object to her dress. She's a lovely girl and very svelte but the dress is not flattering. And the makeup...

orange brick wall continues?

I really, really object to her dress. She's a lovely girl and very svelte but the dress is not flattering. And the makeup...

Her face looks really dark to me...

 

[sowcow]

What is with Elena's dress? It almost looks like she's wearing a diaper underneath to me!?! Does anyone else see what I'm seeing here??

 

[hortensja]

Oh Lena, You're so scratchy sometimes, but such a fighter, and I love you for that!

 

[RadioFan]

The best part of Elenas program is the boss-move:

Radio nowa should be first. She so lookes grown up and beautiful. I prefer that very much than medved

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Solid skate by Elena... I'm still not sure that I'm convinced about the program, but I did really like the footwork. I didn't think her spins were up to their usual standard tonight. Her posture still bothers me...

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Girl, that contour...

 

[Anni234]

Good job Lena! :luv17:

 

[MaiKatze]

Lena...your jumps are not what they used to be, but that you fight puberty like this is just awe inspiring. She might even win this thing. I'm not sure if Kaetly can go clean in the free...should be close.

 

[eta]

So a slightly off topic question, but is 3A a lot more difficult for ladies compared to quads for men?

 

[ancientpeas]

orange brick wall continues?

For me it's way too much. She's a lovely girl. I don't understand the need to slather on the makeup like that.

 

[cathlen]

Now unknown Chinese lady. Suprise us!

 

[Mista Ekko]

Did she get an UR ?

 

[KwanIsALegend]

I really, really object to her dress. She's a lovely girl and very svelte but the dress is not flattering. And the makeup...

I agree, she is very slim but that dress adds pounds. The long sleeves don't work for me either, does not suit the music well.

I think this is the first time I truly enjoyed Elena's program
