Taylor looked so sad right after the pop... glad she managed to recover from it and not spiral

Aww no coach? Now the KnC is triple awkward!

Eteri came out early. The ground just shook.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Aww no coach? Now the KnC is triple awkward!

Especially with them announcing the skaters and Trusova getting lots of cheers... more like quadruple awkward

 

[alexocfp]

Amazing that Trusova got the biggest ovation.

I see what you did there

Gosh, do you think today will be the day? Will Sasha land her 5 quads in a competition

I love seeing other countries even though the lady for Ecuador has a long way to go but Tara has some glimmer of hope we might we her come worlds??? I noticed not one Canadian any event(well skating for Canada). Is this a covid issue? This might have been good for Gabby Daleman and some other Canadians a chance to get some milage and gain experience. Same for Gracie Gold. This is a wonderful opportunity.

That crowd would lose their minds if she did!

Many of the Canadians competed at Autumn Classic this weekend, including Gabby

Audience seems very excited. This looks like a lot of audience, actually. Especially for a covid event and not a GP event.

Gabby was at Autumn Classic, but had a tough skate. I wonder if she would have done better here? Hard to know!

ACI was also this weekend, Gabby and several other Canadians were there

Trusova has the crowd in the palm of her hands. That is what aura does.

And it certainly lowkey helps with the scores. Judges get caught up in the excitement too.

The earth is shaking! The ice is melting. I am watching a ladies' competition.

This will be fun, because I could care less about the scores, or who wins or loses.

I never did care about the jumps, so that isn't any different.

Paige Rydberg: Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace) by Hillsong Worship

 

[Seven Sisters]

My guess on this music choice—her first thought was to use Hallelujah, but then she realized that it’s kind of overused

Does anyone else find it weird when there's like a 10,000 seat place so they sell 1,000 tickets to be COVID safe but then everyone bunches up in the same section... Does that not defeat the purpose?

Also: Best nickname! I miss Yuri on Ice.

Oh gosh yes! If I was there and someone came and sat near me I'd move....

And thank you! I made this account right after I watched the anime for the first time, good memories!

Me too, it was one of the reasons I really got into watching skating

 

[el henry]

Moody pop ballad, like when the boys skate to emo. Beautiful dress.

Good lines, good extension, taking her time with the music. Shame about the falls.

Isn't Paige the one who had to withdraw from Nats due to COVID? Poor girl.
