deserving?

i don't think so... but you know... it's not a democracy

Hongyi. Really pretty dress. Pretty program and skate. I hope she feels better soon.

 

[TallyT]

Whereas my reaction was: "What on Earth is Xiangyi wearing?! "

A Golden Flower dress, but hopefully not cursed. I do like yellow.

Oh yes, Hongyi was coughing yesterday, poor girl may be not well. But she gets the biggest plushie!

 

[Vemvane]

I hope Hongyi is feeling better today than she was yesterday. She has good spins, with fantastic flexibility, and I liked her 3S-2L combination. Gorgeous dress as well.

OMG the giant bear!!!

Hope Nastya has a better outing today!

 

[elektra blue]

redemption for Nastya!

 

[EdgeCall]

Redemption skate please!

 

[auser]

love that Mark's commentary is infused with his experience as both an ice dancer and singles skater to describe why skaters might follow their tracings on the ice.

 

[Sabsi]

Ugh, it’s so depressing dealing with internet in this country… yesterday on the train I couldn’t watch pairs skating, and now I’m apparently driving from one dead zone to the next

 

[H.Y.]

Good skate of Gubanova.

 

[elektra blue]

better than yesterday. she looks stiff, is she ill?

 

[Dawn825]

Good for her

 

[anonymoose_au]

Well Nastya did well!

She's looking bummed though, hope she's OK.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

OMG the giant bear!!!

"Giant" being the correct word!

As Mark said, "It's bigger than she is!"

I just wish we had seen it being thrown onto the ice, and then either Hongyi or the kiddies manhandling it off! That would have been entertaining.

I'm wondering about this too - she looks very low energy and sad. I wonder if she's ill or has something bad going on with her life...

 

[Jeanie19]

Anastasiia. Really pretty dress. Really good program. Redemption skate.

 

[EdgeCall]

Good skate! I hope she will soon find more security in doing those jumps. Right now she is focusing much more on tech over performance than in previous times.

How many times do we need to be told Gubanova was married this year.

Nice music of Hongyi's program.

This piece has a kind of curious background.
Japanese idol singer in early 1980s first ever self composed song was covered by Hong Kong singer became standard.

 

[lileychristie]

177.34, that's definitely going to climb up the standings quite a bit.
