Aw she looks thrilled.

How tall is Meite? She looks like she would tower over some of the other skaters.

Her ISU bio says 168 cm, so yes, she is tall for a skater.

 

[skfan]

i liked meite's skate better than christina gao's, and i usually prefer the wussy pwetty style of presentation

it's because meite had the magnetism and attack and that program was the first that felt 'live.' meite made me care about how the judges judged for the first time today. is that a good thing? ^^

 

[emma]

Seriously - how tall is Meite? She does look very tall, although so does Gao. But - so happy for her, and so nice to see her so happy! Great to see that!

I love Ashley's dress.

 

[Dots]

Good for Mae-Berenice . What a nice comp we have going on.

 

[daphna]

can't wait to see Ashley's red violin!

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Haha, in a funny kind of way, I like Alenas dress! Ashley's is really gorgeous!

Go girls!!

 

[skfan]

go haruka! although i mourn the fact that boot covers are back.

 

[LongTimeLurker]

All I know is that I am very happy to have seen Yuka Sato!

 

[Trewyn]

Phew. First competition of the season. I always forget how intense it is. Even if it's 'just the GP'. GO ASHLEY!

ET: Love Imai's dress.

 

[FSGMT]

warm up is over, imai next!

 

[tulosai]

I love all these dresses. It is major pretty overload.

She seems to be very busy - both mens/ladies singles here.

I very much enjoy watching Imai. Too bad about the small mistakes because for me they did impact the flow. She truly is a lovely skater. I'd have her under Gao and Meite, personally, but her line and spins are gorgeous..

True! just hoping they're all going to do as good as they look

 

[skfan]

beautiful haruka, beautiful dress, and her skating skills and posture have improved so much since moving to yuka sato. i like this program--nice music, choreo, a nice balance of tasteful and glamorous rather than in your face sexy.

 

[tulosai]

GOOO Ashley!!!

John Nicks is ADORABLE.
