Cute panda stuffie in K&C. I want one.

the more i watch the baby frenchies the more i think Karine focused only on 3 teams this season

Some twizzle problems for the French team but I liked their psychedelic choreo.

Don't mind me. There was a 20 minute break in Riga there now between the Junior girls finishing and the Junior cacti starting. So I took the opportunity to pop in to play catch-up on my kids during the Group 2 Warm-Up and their programme, and write my thoughts.

First, the Warm-Up.

Mmmmm. The camera can't keep up with the presentation of the skaters. So we completely missed seeing Sofía and Asaf waving to the audience.

Eeek. The two Spanish partnerships coached by Sara, Kirill and Ksenia nearly collided at the end of the section where Philomene and Raul were being focussed on.

When it was Sofía and Asaf's turn to be focussed on, they were doing a section of their programme. And it looked good!

Next few times we saw Sofía and Asaf, they were just moving around the ice together, mostly holding hands.

Oops! The rinkside announcer said the Warm-Up was over with 1 minute to go, and then had to correct himself. It's a pity PJ is in the commentary box. She would never have made that mistake!

Just before the end of the Warm-Up, Sofía went hurrying away on her own, and the camera followed her. (You can't blame the camera operator for doing so - she's gorgeous!)

They showed a zoomed in shot of Sara at the end of the Warm-Up, as Philomena and Raul are the first to skate.

Now onto the programme.

I like the choreography at the start. Very slick.

Out of sync on Twizzles. Or maybe Sofía's pony tail flying around made it look like they were.

But after that, I didn't spot any possible issues. It all looked good to me!

Sara, Sofía and Asaf all look very happy when we saw them waiting for the scores.

They go into the lead.

Big smiles all round.

WELL DONE SOFÍA AND ASAF!!!

i think Val/Kazimov have this in their pockets

 

[elektra blue]

45 minutes before cacti...i need to fetch my confort food

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

i think Val/Kazimov have this in their pockets

I think it's time I closed the curtains and switched on the lights. It's clearly getting too dark to be reading the computer screen. Because I read that as "i think Val/Kazimov have this in their pokies" And I thought "Eh?! What is my dear Elektra on about now?!"

You're not that far behind me, missy!

Actually, I've worn glasses all the time since I was about 10 years old.

Although, taking them off and looking at them there now, they do need cleaned...
