Kaori has a new dress or my memory is as unreliable as usual?

 

[EdgeCall]

What is this piece of cloth on Anna's back?

I think she wore it before

 

[elektra blue]

I think she wore it before

so it's my bad memory as usual

 

[Karoltyna]

Anna is a future star as soon as she finds her consistency and a bit more presentation

As soon as steps down from position of wild child of chaos #1...

 

[labgoat]

That's an interesting dress Wakaba's wearing! I don't think I've ever seen her in pink before

I think it washes her out. She is a bright light and needs color to shine.

 

[elektra blue]

keep it together, Ahsun!

 

[TallyT]

so it's my bad memory as usual

There are so many costumes so some of us only tend to remember the very very wonderful or the spectacularly awful (and yes, I have folders for both)

 

[Ares]

Ahsun deserves to be 1st now

ETA: behind Loena despite 3-3 huh ok

 

[Mathematician]

Can someone explain how the camel was lvl 4? Difficult entry and 2 difficult positions. Where is the 4th level? She didn't reach 8 rotations in any position.

 

[EdgeCall]

Missed the combo on the lutz but the glideout looked lovely. Recovered the combo on on the flip. Very decent skate, although it looked a bit rushed for my taste.

 

[LazyFuzai]

It's always high technique from Yun,but the rest really need work.
There were some nice music accents from her at least.Also nice way out to change combination.

 

[GGFan]

Good for Ahsun for getting her combo in and covering up the stsq error. This music always makes me happy since it reminds me of a Michelle Kwan spiral and smile.

 

[elektra blue]

her best short this year so far i think

 

[Mathematician]

Ahsun deserves to be 1st now

Even with the stumble? I don't know. I'm surprised they gave her plus for it.

Yeah, I like the design but I think the pink needs to be darker indeed. But it could be exacerbated by the washing out / over brightness of this NHK camera setting too

 

[Vemvane]

I do like this East of Eden SP for Ahsun. Wow, the ice coverage on that 3Lz! Nice 3F-3T in the second half as well. Arabesque spiral (almost) on the crescendo in the music in the step sequence, and then the quick knee slide later on. Oof, the hand down on the illusion turn, but she stays on her feet. Better than Skate Canada and a season's best!

you know which one i remember best btw are you interested in joining a certain prestigious judging panel?

 

[lileychristie]

Well done Ahsun on getting that 3F3T in the 2nd half, very gutsy contingency plan

Mark's got a bit of the commentors curse going on!
