Boston crowd is the best

 

[ramurphy2005]

Ugh, that was going so well

 

[bartlebooth]

Nooo, she was absolutely killing it up to that Lutz

 

[mirai4life]

every time the male commentator says 'she/he can't miss' the skater makes a mistake in the next move

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Hey, so actually, Chris, maybe don't jinx skaters about how "they just can't miss" until they at least finished all their jumping passes

This is such a refined and elegant program that really shows off a different side of Lara, she is so patient with her movements and carries refinement all the way down to her fingertips, but still has that unique choreography that helps her stand out. The first half was so, so strong, and then the second half crumbled a bit - I was so hoping this would be a full redemption skate but Lara should still be proud of this outing and the progress she's made this season. Her consistency and quality has improved so much.

my baby girl is beautiful despite her mistakes, mama is and always will be proud of her

 

[FlossieH]

The Lara from a couple of years ago wouldn't have got back on track after the fall and loop.

 

[Ares]

There was a heavy splat on triple lutz in the 2nd half and problems with triple loop but there was some much good stuff happening here otherwise

 

[EdgeCall]

Gosh, Lara. The first half was to die for. It was last-group quality. But then just a few seconds of weakness were enough.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Damn, I thought Gutmann was going to go clean. She just got too tired in the second half. I think this was the best performance so far. She’s had a bit of a breakout this year.

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

Everything was so lovely except those last two jumps I love watching Lara skate and this was no exception!

 

[bartlebooth]

Mama @elektra blue, how are you?

 

[jorge2912]

Lara was FS beautiful, the precise tempo of execution of every element, the music it fits wonderfully and her expression was great , like an actress in a very demanding role, was consistent too , very stylish really

 

[Agent Michael Scarn]

In that dress, Sofia looks like Anna Shcherbakova had a growth spurt.

 

[elektra blue]

Mama @elektra blue, how are you?

Lovely skate from Lara despite some mishaps. I really like her expressiveness. The way she uses her arms and hands gave me the feeling of flight.

I love her skating even with the mistakes. It is breathtakingly beautiful. She is like Alissa Czisny - beautiful but flawed. I would happily watch her any day of the week. This program with the sweeping romantic music is my personal favorite. Same for Lara.

Lara, Olga Mikutina, and Julia Sauter are my favorites today. I don't give a hoot where they place.

 

[Dreamer57]

I like Sofia's brown dress.

 

[saine]

Shame about the Lutz, it was going so well for Sofia up to then.
