Anastasia. Really pretty red dress. Nice program, shame about the fall. Still a good skate.

Technically, this was a very solid skate for Meda - she got all of her jumps done - although she really slowed down before her jumps, and as Chris remarked, she's definitely not the fastest skater we'll see today. However, it was a lovely, delicate performance - she had a nice, subtle performance in the steps and a lovely ina bauer.

That was actually quite nice. It was in a classical way simple and effective. That includes the dress. Pity for the wobbly tech.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Really great job from Meda, not a lot of speed but well delivered

 

[elektra blue]

damn! that combo failed her! is she going to make it to the free?

 

[Jeanie19]

Meda. Beautiful dress. Lovely program and a good skate.

Meda's peach dress may be a bit on the wishy-washy side, but everything else about that programme was beautiful.

Of course, I'm disappointed that my kid Aleksandra didn't have the minimums to be in the running to go to Boston. But, Meda did Lithuania proud.

She goes into the lead.

Maybe?

 

[norwegianfairytale]

I can´t believe we are already at group 2

 

[4everchan]

if it keeps going like this.. how much will skaters need to qualify ? 58?

 

[EdgeCall]

They could improve a little on the intro timing.

 

[yelyoh]

Sofia should lead after this group. Of course she still has to skate.

Julija Lovrencic's costume is amazing and looks super inconvenient for skating in the best way

soft ice in boston... really ???? isn't there that there were water puddles ? I remember Patrick not being too happy about the ice conditions... pretty sure it was there.
