There's also the Moscow Championships going on...so I've got two screens going right now LOL.

Oh! Instabul is honouring @NoNameFace in their KnC!

Well, you have to give Arabella credit for falling at an appropriate part of the song.

She was looking very ragged towards the end. Like she was trying too hard to make up for earlier mistakes.

I suppose it sums up the programme that she finished on her backside.

Awwww. Lovely to see Tammy gently trying to comfort her daughter. But, Arabella is too cross with herself.

Gasp! Sergei V! I wonder if he's there in person?

Hey we all know this music!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

oh no don't cry

Oh, don't worry, there's no danger of that. Arabella's not upset. She's angry!

Good morning! A really early morning here! Nothing better than purring cat and Voronov's student. She's doing pretty good

Gasp! Sergei V! I wonder if he's there in person?

Hey we all know this music!

he is, my love for him made me spot him through the fog

 

[Jeanie19]

Yekaterina. Pretty dress , good elements.

 

[EdgeCall]

That wasn't so bad. A bit unpolished here and there and the music was a bit much but Yekaterina handled herself well.

 

[elektra blue]

SEEEEEREEEEEZHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[anonymoose_au]

Did I just yell out "Sergei!!!"

I did indeed! He's hair is looking floofy indeed.

And oh good a warmup group, Sofia Sarnovskaya is about to skate over in Moscow, so I'll be able to catch her.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Who's the auld boy with Katya and Sergei?

For one moment, it looked like he was nodding off!

No, @anonymoose_au, this is not an invitation for you to to do the same.

So cute the way Sergei was holding his hand up while whispering in her ear. It looked like two naughty schoolkids whispering in class!

I'm not so sure about that, at least not compared to the two prior JGPs.
Rena holds the third-highest SP score of any woman on the JGP this season at the moment, and Elyce's score is the 6th highest.

Hmmm. I still think they’re low, but I agree that the scores have generally been on the low side this season compared to last year.

 

[Green Carrots]

Just watched Rena and Elice, nice performances! Shame for Elice, she was so good but maybe underrotations made her TES down... Love her dresses as always

he is, my love for him made me spot him through the fog

What's with the fog?

 

[EdgeCall]

What's with the fog?

There's a Turkish bath next door.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

While we have a warmup, it is just under 3 hours until my newest daughter skates. OK, so the application has been getting processed for the guts of a year, but it finally became official this morning!

But, my goodness, for a girl who is still only 15, I was shocked at just how long her competitive history was. Nearly 80 competitions over 10 seasons!

It really makes you realise just how experienced these kids are despite their young age.

There's a Turkish bath next door.

Oh? An arena-bath combo? Turkey's the best.

Nice arena, actually.

 

[elektra blue]

Voilà

 

[Green Carrots]

So proud of Taya!! Seems like she's back after such a hard period and can deliver nice performances! She really showed quite matured skating
