OUCH! Geez! What happen to Zijun Li?! 51.74? My goodness this is turning out to be a disappointing competition for my favs (Adelina and Zijun). :disapp:
As for Lipnitskaya, no worries, she's only 13 (birthday June 5, 1998) and won't be going to Sochi because she's too young, so I don't care if she wins this junior thingie or not.
ALLRIGHT, logged in to see my two faves are kicking booty (aka Gold & Sotnikova).
Now just waiting to see a youtube video of Adelina's skate, as I've already seen Gracie's magnificent one. ^) Take that haters.

Funny, I didn't find it that way at all. Aside from the spins, I thought it was a good skate:

Julia is a kid and kids are often more consistent and less nervous than athletes / people in their late teens + adults. There are actual scientific studies that examined the physiological/neuropsychological changes during competition in tennis players, young adolescents (till 14 /15 years) and adults. The results clearly showed that most of the kids have none of the extreme reactions to the competitive stress adults tend to have. Puberty is not all about the different body, it's about self-doubt, intrinsic stress, over-thinking. Maybe that's the real puberty monster.Julia is simply phenomenal, I've never seen such a consistent skater!
