I like how they show the GOE scores.

Ach, the computer started misbehaving again. (Funny how Firefox is being affected, but Opera isn't)

We now have a Finnish 1-2-4, as Iida KARHUNEN has gone into a massive lead.

Unfortunately, my second kid, Varvara ABRAMKINA (CYP), is another withdrawal. But, I'm not entirely surprised, as she was competing at the Sofia Trophy on Friday and Saturday. And she finished 6th there.

So, I'm not concerned by her withdrawing here. Doing two events so close together is never ideal.

I agree. It is very informative having that box after the programme has finished.

Although, it would be nice to have a TES box during the programme as well, for those of us that have difficulty identifying elements.

Speaking of that box, there was a funny moment while one of the early skaters was waiting for her score, and they were playing about with the positioning of the box. And it was moving up and down the screen!

Yay! We're back!

That extended break (due to so many withdrawals from the previous group) seemed like forever!

And they didn't go to adverts this time, so we got to see the Group 5 Warm-Up from the start.

Yeah i know, i didn't mean it in a hateful way. She's a gorgeous skater and she's the main attraction of this competition for me! I just meant, that looking at her armenian nationals sp score, my prediction was around 60, possibly surpassing Kira. But again, we didnt't fully get to see her nationals performances, so we didn't really know what level she's currently on. I'm so happy for her after this gorg performance!!

 

[Jeanie19]

Pernille. Beautiful purple dress. Beautiful program and a good skate.

I feel so sorry for Jasmine COETZEE (ZAF). She never seems to have anybody with her.

She looked so forlorn sitting there on her own. And when the scores came through, and she went into last position, she looked completely deflated. I just wanted to go and give her a big hug, and some words of encouragement.
