It's 28 degrees C in Istanbul. I am surprised the stands are not full, heh

Sena. Really good skate in front of home crowd. Great cartwheel. She's happy.

it's also free, probably no one care about a figure skating junior competition

Jane Eyre sounds original

 

[lariko]

Jane Eyre? Interesting theme. And, also works with the fog.

 

[elektra blue]

nice jumps, but your spins are important too, Anastasia

Someone needs to put it out to tourist websites as the best place to cool down!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

What a gorgeous little mushroom! She has great jumps, the spins need a bit of work tho

 

[Jumping_Bean]

The dress & hair together with those long limbs is giving me flashbacks to Alena Kanysheva

Nice skate for Anastasia, well done

 

[Jeanie19]

Anastasia. Pretty blue dress. Good skate, lots of potential.

 

[auser]

Welcome to JGP Anastasia. Nicely done.

living on the Mediterranean sea i can tell you we're used to these kind of temperatures. in the last few years 29 isn't even that hot, not after you face weeks at more than 38°

Mark, well matched skaters pushing each other on is exactly what Turkey had for a long number of years.

There was a group of skaters (including Sıla) that were always fighting over the top positions and slots. And Sinem Kuyucu always seemed to end up as the one that missed out. Until the others retired, and she was the last of the old guard standing. So she dominated for a few years. Eventually she retired, and this new generation started coming through.

Nice skate by Anastasia! Actually Switzerland now has lots of talented prospective young skaters

 

[lariko]

Cofffeeeeeeee! I will make it Turkish.

 

[auser]

weeks at more than 38°

Eeek. My sympathies.

 

[elektra blue]

Eeek. My sympathies.

i have to thank the global warming for this. July was hell

And I'm sure having a volcano nearby didn't help. (Actually, does it have an influence on temperatures? Or is it just one of those many assumptions I have that is completely wrong?)

We have just today entered a heatwave in NI. But, a heatwave here is defined as 3 days where temperatures are over 25°C. So, I'm sure you would find that perfectly mild in comparison to what you have been dealing with.

Hope you managed alright last week with the long drive to the wedding. And I hope you had somwehre to stay, and didn't have to actually travel in your costume. Because I dread to imagine what state it would have been in if you did!

I envy you.
