That's allright, I don't know how to delete the other. :)

This first girl from JPN looks like Yuna Kim!

okay, just want to say that JPN has a lot of great young talent, including this girl, whom looks exactly like Yuna Kim in both looks & physique. Lol, I really thought it was her during warmup. ;)

Shoko Ishikawa (I freaking love that name) needs to get some confidence, some style and some pizzaz.

The Lutz will be downgraded.

Just to prove I'm a pedantic twit, there is no 'womens' competition, there is a 'ladies' competition.

That is all.

how about a bit of PbP
Shoko ISHIKAWA to get things started
long set up to 3f-2t, nice
2 axel clean
fw into 3 lz, under-rotateded I think
flying combo spin, a bit slow
spiral a bit slow into layback
footwork, nice
flying camel to finish
well skated, not a lot of interp of the music, but she should be pleased
44.28 in 1st of course

But it's the men, so it should be also the women. Everything else just sounds strange.

Lovely flowy routine by CHN's Shizuka Arakawa lookalike. ;) Don't think she missed anything. :)

Oh no, tonight wasn't this RUS lady's night, she fell on two jumps, but I must say she has FAB spins, especially her closing one, rivals Caroline Zhang's. :)

Oksana GOZEVA - Russia
Tango music
2 ax
long set up to 3 lz, falls
long set up to 3 flip, not really out of footwork, under rotated falls again
spin
spiral, not well done
nice combo spin
footwork, and actually some choreo that related to the music- up to now you wouldn't know it was playing
final spin is very fast and centred, layback with skate to head
40.66 - 3rd
