[SmileHappy34]

Anastasia is good . But I dont think will lead . I put her behind Lara . But 3rd okay

Something is off with Alysa Liu season, why as a world champion, that her team didn't do any new program for her this season, she deserve better for an Olympic season.

She had a new SP, but the singer of that piece was associated with a possible murder so she dropped that program for obvious ethical reasons and just hasn't had the time to make a new short. Her team is currently re-editing her Lady Gaga FS, which will likely be debuted at the GP Final or Nationals.

I would put her first.

I would put alysa first by a hair

Something is happening with Alysa. There is too much emotion... Even Scali was crying and both coaches were reaching towards her.

as defending champs in an Olympic year, they are both under extraordinary pressure to win

Is there a guy in the audience with a Santa hat or am I losing my mind?

 

[jorge2912]

Anastasia SP was nice, technically great but music isn't Indian but her dress is like Egyptian goddess ones, sorry for me talking as ex judge haven't a true value for the no relationship between theme and other elements that adds richness to a program

 

[Ares]

Gubanova only 4th, I thought she'd clear 70 points and be 3rd.

 

[jorge2912]

Go Chaeyeon!!!

 

[SmileHappy34]

Goal Chaeyeon


Here is thought Alysaa would skate last. My bad

 

[TallyT]

Good skate. Please Johnny and Tara stop arguing please.

I take it that no one took up my and @4everchan's suggestion?

12. Chaeyeon KIM KOR
SP: "Qui a le Droit?" by Santa, choreo by Shae-Lynn Bourne

2A
3Lzq+3Tq
FCSp4
3F
StSq3
CCoSp4
SSp4

SP: 67.58 (5th)

Chaeyeon has continued to look better at every event as she recovers from her injury, she's come so far since Nepela where she scored like 80 points in the FS. While her jumps aren't quite as consistent as they were in the past, I find that her performance and musical sensitivity has improved by leaps and bounds, she's really becoming quite the artist.

 

[bartlebooth]

Yay Chaeyon! I find the song too whiny, but she skated great!

It is going to be a nightmare for both her and Malinin at Milan... remember the way they hounded Chen nonstop in 2018? And these two don't have a foreign superstar to take the even heavier pressure like he did.

 

[demitasse]

yes, baby girl chaeyeon!!!

 

[FlossieH]

Really nice from Chaeyeon. Best I've seen from her this season. I still think last year's SP suited her better.

 

[soccerjc77]

Chaeyeon KIM was my favorite tonight, I would give her the 1st or 2nd place tonight, she made me cry !

 

[auser]

Lovely skate from Kim. I hope @Ichatdelune is smiling somewhere.

you think that's all ?

maybe

Sometimes, I wish I didn't speak French. Why are all these skaters using the weirdest, darkest and most depressing French songs ?

 

[SmileHappy34]

Nice program from Chaeyon. Not as eye popping or catching but a good skate.

 

[maofan]

She's back! Also, she was more invested in performing and showing emotions, IMHO.
