Music: Capriccio Espagnol by Nikolai Rimski-Korsakov

3T+3T - big!
3F - also nice
FCSp
2A
LSp
StSq - audience is clapping along
CCoSp

Fist pump! Happy for her.

Clean jumps, strong spins - she seemed tense at first, so it's interesting if this will be enough to beat Caro.

Score: 37.25 + 30.36 = 67.61 (PB), in 1st (out of 27)

Miss "nerves" did quite well

 

[blue_idealist]

Wow, Sotnikova was great!! It will be interesting to see whether it will take the lead. IMO, it should.

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Woah, Adelina!!! So, so, so happy!
Her reaction at the end was so cute!

 

[Kuan]

Adelina into first place ... i am so happy for her... 67,61 was ist?

 

[Jammers]

This is a big deal. It's been almost 2 years since Adelina went clean in a SP right?

Elene GEDEVANISHVILI (GEO)

Music: Schindler's List (soundtrack) by John Williams

3Lz - fall
3S - stepout, no combo added
FSSp
2A
LSp - travels a bit
StSq
CCoSp

Two big mistakes, she seemed to stumble throughout - bronze is def out of reach now...

Score: 23.54 + 26.21 - 1.00 = 48.75, in 10th (out of 28)

 

[blue_idealist]

Is it just me, or did Elene lose like 15 lbs?

 

[Mirunna]

This is a big deal. It's been almost 2 years since Adelina went clean in a SP right?

Yes! And is the biggest score ever at the Europeans for a sp
I can't believe she held it together. I am thrilled for her, she was so happy. Finally she has her moment.

yep, but I am 100% sure she will not get a clean FS and consistency
until then Sotnikova on my book is a certified headcase aka the Maria Butyrskaya 2.0

Sontikova will fall 2 times in the LP form her nerves

You simply can not stand not being right IMO. Wishing for a skater to fail is not very nice

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Wow! And it's not as if Adelina had a super season so far and had a great reputation/momentum advantage. Her PCS were 30.36, that's quite high!
Hope this gives her more self-confidence for tomorrow

 

[Jammers]

It's great for another reason too. I don't the Sochi Olympics to just be between skaters that we've been watching for the last 6-7 years. We need the younger girls to step up and challenge. It will make it so much better to watch.

Now the pressure is on Liza. Fingers crossed for her also! Go baby Tukt

I have given up on Sotnikova as she is too incosistent for me
until then she needs to prove she can be consistent, so far her achievemnts are a bit underwhelming
