as I feared Rinky is feasting on Mia's quads

Yup, I expected that too.... good on her for ditching the quad on the 2nd half though.

I honestly don't know how she can land her quads with almost no speed going to her jumps like that though I think working on her skating skills might actually help on her quads as well.

this dress is beautiful, this song not so much

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

and that's a very weird way to die on ice it looks like she just forgot she had to die at that point and fashionably fell on the ice

I thought exactly the same when I saw it!

Well, Rinky was probably on her mind too.

In other news, were I a skater I'd picked the weirdest, most outrageous song title just so I could hear Ted say it

Still not over "Bing bing boom" or whatever it was the other day...

I hate when people like Ted pretend 14 year olds having quads means they will only get better.
They have to know these girls usually have them because they are 14, not despite being 14.
I wish Mia all the best and maybe she will actually get better and will have a great senior career. But statistics say the more likely way is that her technical content will go down and she will not have the skating skills to catch her. So if you're someone with knowledge in the sport, at least just stay quiet on this.

Ooh, Rinky tried to eat Petra's 3S+3T but Petra was like, nope

 

[auser]

Can't fault Mia for going for it. Hopefully using this Junior comp as a building experience. She has lovely extension even if jumps were not there today.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I'm extremely impressed by Petra's ability to turn poor jump landings into totally intentional transitional spirals

 

[Jeanie19]

Petra. Pretty dress. A couple mistakes but still a good skate.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Good skate from Petra !
Some mistakes but nothing too major! I think this group has finally succeeded in defeating Rinky!

My personal favourite will always be "Bla Bla Bla Cha Cha Cha"

I had Heesue in 3rd so my prediction were already in the toilet after the sp

I had Heesue 2nd so I'm even more screwed than you

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Didn't notice, Mia took the lead in both the FS and overall. So, Olivia's reign in the FS is now over.

With the random draw, it is too complicated to work out the slay count right now while the competition is ongoing. But, suffice to say, it will be big.

WE HAVE A HAPPY K&C FINALLY!!!! also I loooove Rose's dress it fits her name so well too

 

[elektra blue]

oh nice, an early 80s wedding dress

 

[lileychristie]

Rose Theroux has a dress that's really fitting for her name

And this Enya songs, omg! I used to be obsessed with this album of hers when I was like, 11

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

well forget the jumps I love the program (although that may just be my Enya bias) and the music editing was pretty good! (now if only those editors could do such a good job with ice dance)

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Rinky came back with a vengeance

Poor Rose, this is definitely not the free she wanted
I do love her hair piece its very pretty.
