Sabina. Pretty dress. Good program and skate. She got a big teddy bear.
These purple teddy bears are becoming the flower crowns of the Bosphorus Cup.
I always tend to go into competitions expecting Alieva to be right up there. And then end up disappointed when she is down the order. I have it in my mind that she was this really promising skater when she first switched from Russia. Was she? Or am I getting her mixed up with somebody else?
Anyway, she went into 2nd in both FS and overall at the time. (She remains 2nd in the FS, but has just been pushed down to 3rd overall).

Sorry to Sabina BOTINA (KAZ). but I find that costume disturbing.
She is wearing 3/4 of a black trouser suit. But the left hand side of the jacket is cut away to reveal a white shirt. But it isn't even a whole white shirt. The area around the shoulder and the sleeve have been cut off.
If the edges hadn't been so smooth, it would look like she had been attacked, and had part of her clothes ripped off. And that is not something we want to encourage.
On the plus side, she does have Michael Jackson's signature white glove.
This costume might have made sense if she was skating to "Black And White". But she wasn't; she was skating to "Dirty Diana".
It wasn't the best of skates.
She goes into 9th in the FS, and 8th overall.

The last of the skaters from the host country today, Azra SAGLAM (TUR), was wearing a purple dress with a very sparkly silver pattern.
She was skating to an Edda Hayes medley, consisting of "The Call" and "We Are the Warriors". But, it didn't sound great because of the echos.
The skating was good, though.
Massive cheers when she finished.
Hey, she was another recipient of a purple teddy bear! But, the dress kinda clashed with it.
Because she sat the bear on her lap, we couldn't see her reaction to the scores.
She goes into 6th in the FS, and 3rd overall.

I wish I'd checked what Chiara's dress looked like before the Warm-Up, because there were two girls with blonde hair.
I think she was wearing a black jacker over a light brown / gold dress.
If that was her, she had to take avoiding action to not hit somebody early on in teh Warm-Up.
I think I'm going to have to re-watch the Warm-Up later, because I couldn't pick her out when sitting at the other side of the room at the computer.
But here she is now.
ALL THE BEST CHIARA!!!

Phew! I did have the right skater in the Warm-Up.
Started with a beautiful combination jump.
And the next two individual jumps she did were beautiful too.
The first part of the combination jump wasn't great. But the second aprt was.
Spin good.
Wow! I thought she was going to keep rotating forever on that jump, but the boards were coming up so thankfully she did stop!
Fell on the next jump, though.
Just about landed the first part of the three jump combionation.
And she did a slide out of the Sit Spin just like her sister did earlier.
Sliding across the ice on her knees now. (That is bound to be uncomfortable!)
Combination spin good.
Andrei Lutay with her.
She goes into the lead of both FS and overall.
WELL DONE CHIARA!!!

And on that note, it is time for food.
Hopefully I will be back in time for the Group 8 Warm-Up, and then my final kid, Vasilisa.
All the best to those that I will miss.

Just about got back in time for the Warm-Up.
Vasilisa has got such a distinctive style that, even if she wasn't always the smallest skater in the group, you could still spot her easily. But, it was only in the last ciouple of minutes that we saw her do any jumps within camera shot.
The first two jumps were beautiful.
The third jump would have been beautiful too, except somebody got in her way as she was coming down. I don't know whether Vasilisa actually hit this other girl, or whether she got spooked when this other girl appeared, but Vasilisa fell anyway. There was only a bit of space between Vasilisa and the boards, so I don't know how this other girl figured that she could get through it.
And then in the last seconds of the Warm-Up, she did a jump and fell.
Hope there are no more falls come the programme.
