only Haein left, double checked.

Now I saw that Hana's program is actually not only Princess Leia, so Star Wars, but actually The Planets. Love.

Williams has been accused of copying The Planets for the Star Wars music.

Yes Tarawhat a skate! so happy for her!

 

[Weathergal]

Great job Tara! I loved everything about that, especially her passion!

 

[Jeanie19]

Tara. Good skate, but the altitude hurt her, too.

 

[CellarDweller]

Ok, I loved seeing Tara skate! Good for her!

Williams has been accused of copying The Planets for the Star Wars music.

Yeah, no.
The Planets get a lot of reference in all kinds of movie soundtracks and I don't think there were real plagiats ever.

What a fabulous skate! She cast a spell on us all.
As Chris said with a full house of jumps

 

[moonvine]

Go on Tara! She just keeps skating all over the world and getting better and better and better a little at a time.

Tara slay!!!

I looove her commitment on the choreography, can really see how much it means to her. That step sequence really went well with the music. And did someone say she choreographed all that herself? Amazing!!

 

[slider11]

How exciting for figure skating to have skaters like Tara who bring such passion to the ice!

 

[desertskates]

That was probably one of my favorite ladies skates of the year. Yay for Tara! Awesome to see the energy build as she went on. Living there helps, I'm sure. But her emotion is so cool.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Yeah, no.
The Planets get a lot of reference in all kinds of movie soundtracks and I don't think there were real plagiats ever. Even Holst himself acknowledged this iirc.

George Lucas actually wanted to use the Planets originally iirc, it was his request that Williams do something similar

Joanna skated to a song that sounds like a combination of my two favorite musical things ever, Phantom of the Opera and Trans Siberian Orchestra. I must find out how to obtain a copy on cassette!

Tara is stunning. Her name means "star" in Sanskrit and she certainly lived up to it today!!!!!

 

[elbkup]

That was WOW!!!

 

[kappa_1]

Tara. Good skate, but the altitude hurt her, too.

She trains here in Colorado Springs

 

[Lamente Ariane]

well done Tara!! Was that TES enough for Worlds?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Justine's dress is absolutely stylin'!

Good luck to her!

 

[momrk]

Lovely to see Tara skate so well

 

[lileychristie]

I'm suprised Tzu-han kept her lead with like 7 points gap
