2018 Internationaux de France Ladies Free Skate

... that was stunning. So, uh, despite the short, it seems Helsinki was not actually her best. I’ll be curious to see how in the mix she is for Euros.
 
I think Stasya's dress is one of my favorites this season. What a lovely color of purple, and great styling.
 
72 TES leaving ice, for those keeping track at home.
 
Of the Russian senior ladies, I think I enjoy her the most. The programs aren't special, but I don't close my eyes whenever she jumps.
 
I wonder why she stopped skating for the US?

I'm sure the greatest benefit for a skater like Paganini to switch to a smaller fed is a near-guaranteed place at many international comps vs the much heavier internal competition for placements if she still skated for the US. GP spots, Europeans/4CC, Worlds, even the Olympics... much tougher otherwise.
 
I don't get why everybody seems to prefer Laurine to Mae :slink:
Feel bad for her, though. Sorry, Laurine! you're beautiful!
 
Oh dear... Still, I liked her expressiveness, she's a performer. Such a shame about that ugly fall right at the end... And StSq1. Ouch.
 
I needed to plan my shopping better for these events. I have no white chocolate to nibble on when things go badly!
