Rooting for Sierra in this second last group. She had an excellent free skate at her last competition. She could be one to move up a few spots. Also, the other Cyprus girl really impressed me with how well she skated that short program.

While we wait on the ice resurf, let´s enjoy the lovely opening jump

I think this is the perfect example of why she gets such differing opinions on whether fans think she should keep skating. She is clearly still able to jump as well as, if not all, then most of the top US Women. So, to see her go out and miss competition after competition can be frustrating to watch. I am somewhere in the middle. I feel like if she wants to keep competing, more power to her and it doesn’t matter how she places, then I watch her practice/warm up and I think if she would just get to a coach/training center/sports psychologist that would help her put it all together. Work on the nerves, make her run full run throughs mistakes or not, etc and she honestly could be one of the best we have in the US and wouldn’t that be something! She’s clearly beloved by many, no matter what! Today was clearly a step up for her. I stiIl wish her much success and hope that she is doing what she wants to do. As an aside, I feel like this might be her last year competing (I do not know her personally at all) but going back to the program she used when she ended up having to stop for a while, wearing a similar dress, etc. I could see her finishing the season (whenever that might be) and then saying I did it on my terms.

Excellent timing, I've just made myself a nice Caprese, now the skating can begin again.

I loved the music and the spiral, but the rink monster strikes again! So many pops!

Kailani is back with her lovely black dresses

 

[katymay]

Go Kalani. Selling that program. I love it.

 

[Amei]

Oh my gosh - Gangster's Paradise and Figure skating do not go together.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Great performance from Kailani! She's gearing up to secure that Olympic spot!

 

[Jeanie19]

Kailani. I love this program for her. Great skate.

 

[katymay]

I love the way she mixed the music as well-classical gangsta paradise into the traditional gangsta paradise

 

[moonvine]

Get it Kailani!

 

[Mauvedreamer]

Kailani knows how to sell a program. Great . Love her. Great choreography at the end. She is fierce.

I have been enjoying the supportive and entertaining live-tweeting from an @IceTeaPod podcaster who is attending in person.

She even tweeted about @moonvine (at 12:03 pm ET within the thread of tweets).

I loved the mix up. It built really well.

I hope she will skate as long as she wants to. Whether that be tomorrow or 10 years from now. As I told her on Friday, she makes me happy every time I see her skate. I thought today was a big step up. Standing ovation from me.

 

[katymay]

OH man they dinged Kalani but good....I swear they are so hard on her.

Ashley is lovely, but can't say I'm a fan of this music.
