Hey @moonvine, stuffie that gal, will you. And what a smile!

I WOULD if I weren't in my office watching on a TV!

Whoops only just arrived a few skaters back, but Rino was brilliant! I also like Audrey a lot.

I'll definitely have to catch up on Maddie though, seems she had an absolutely awesome skate!

 

[moonvine]

Do you all look forward to the Japanese dresses as much as I do? Always a highlight

The Japanese and Korean dresses. And the Korean hairpieces.

Now it's time for my love Chaeyeon, shoot me

shoot the one who gave her this insipid program instead.

Trying to get a paid vpn account now so I can switch countries.

I recommend paid version of Proton. I believe there are other good ones as well.

@Ichatdelune you can breath again, Chaeyeon secured herself a nice medal

Benoit? Sure thing

 

[lariko]

cross on costume... bells...

Nice color scheme though

 

[Mathematician]

Were her legs giving out a little bit there? Is she ok? Seemed like she isnt the same as yesterday...

I'm going to break my earlier tune and say I think her artistry and choreography is a little forced, but not that its particularly poor or anything. Just, in regards to the sophistication, sincerity and cadence of artistry I still hold Madeline at the highest today.

 

[4everchan]

Benoit? Sure thing

 

[FlossieH]

Really nice skate. I'm glad she's getting a couple of years to establish herself as a senior before Jia Shi moves up. She might have got squeezed out of the international scene otherwise, which would have been such a shame.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh my love you did absolutely wonderful

Rino reminds me of Marin Honda. There's freedom and calmness to her every move.
Unfortunately, even though her jumps are better than Marin's, they are also often underrotated, especially in the second half.

She only started to have rotation issues after all her injury and illness, so I'm really hoping that with back to 100% training and regained confidence, she'll be able to fix them up

 

[GGFan]

Chaeyeon does so many things well. I just want her to express more in her programs and actually hold some of the impressive positions she hits.

FS: 130.84 (3rd) I actually agree with this result
TOT: 201.15 (1st)

Chaeyeon struggled on her opening jumping passes this morning, but of course she nails them here. There's a lot to admire about her skating, but there is also some maturing needed that will come with time and experience. Not her best, but that's also being extremely nitpicky. I can't wait to see how she improves over the next few seasons because you can see the artistic potential brimming under the surface.

Nice color scheme though

yup... i love black and green... if people saw what I wear, they would think I am slytherin.
