Wow, Alina G is fast too! Where'd she come from? Haven't seen her before - must have missed those Grand Prix stages.

Bravo Alina , what a way to start the second group, a pity the loop

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Shame about the last 3lo but other than that omg Alina This girl is just getting better and better

 

[EdgeCall]

Wow! Impressive!

 

[Pairluv]

Too bad about the loop for Gorbacheva. Otherwise, that was an excellent skate. They should be very pleased.

 

[JimR]

Bravo. If her body doesn't change too much she'll be contending next year for gold.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Coaches are pleased!

That was really good!

 

[Kittosuni]

Gorbacheva is definitely been the biggest surprise of this season. Her improvements both technically and artistically have been amazing

A new contender has entered the rink!

The old guard are wary (Except Liza, she's like "whatevs" )

Wow! Big score!

She has just won Junior Championship

It's not that they toss skaters aside after reaching 18, it's that there isn't much incentive for someone like Zagitova to give full commitment to the sport each to place 10th at the national championship and never go to an international event, her only chance for a medal a bronze at a domestic GP stage, all her biggest achievements behind her.

That's what she would do if she really liked figure skating.......instead of going win the millions that are waiting for her......
That's what the haters would say.

Deserved score for Gorbacheva. The 4S+2A was sublime.

Ah that explains it, the women were on too late for me here in Australia and I haven't caught up with them all yet.

Oh! Sofia A is landing her jumps! That's a huge 3A!

 

[Pairluv]

The 2nd 3A was huge! Good for Akateva.

 

[squishyfishy]

what a save

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ah dang, she almost Javi'ed her way out of that.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Omg Sofia
This girl is proving me wrong in every turn! What a skate! shame about the 2nd 4T but honestly everything else went so well it doesn't even matter, her 3As are

 

[yume]

She refused to fall on that 4T

 

[Mawwerg]

It was an unique quad toeloop exit.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Very good skate for Kat. I think her quads were under, but still, very well done.
