I have to be honest, Agnes doesn't impress me much (for now). I don't like the dress, the music, the costume, the choreography, anything, except the jumps were good. Not Irina Slutskaya style, but as good as the Japanese I would say. :)

p.s. she looks like a combination of Cynthia Phaneuf & Amber Corwin, and she also looks much older than 16. Anyhow, good job!

I really enjoyed Miriam's skate, she has a lovely lyrical style, good jumps, but she doesn't look like she's very flexible for the spins that the top dogs do (aka Biellmann). Nevertheless, lovely skate. :)

Thanks for your comments and insights, ImaginaryPogue and Nadine. :biggrin: I'm not currently able to watch this at work.

Buffering issues on Samson - I saw her land the triple flip and double axel, but I don't know about the combo. She seems happy, so I don't think she fell. Kwong thinks the 3z-2loop should have an edge call, but she doesn't think it'll happen.

LaFuente: HUGE fall stroking. I don't think she's continuing. Music stopped, she's skating around now.

She's starting again

Is anyone else watching on Universal Sports??? TERRY GANNON is back to figure skating commentary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH, Terry, how I've missed thee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *major fangirl moment when I heard his voice* I think I'm more excited for Terry's return than the skating at this point...

I love LaFuente's costume though. Perfect for the music. Very pretty girl, too bad about the fall.

Lafuente landed a 3loop-2t, 3Toe, 2A.

Tactically, starting again was the smart move. the error was REALLY early, and she couldn't do much about the combo or maybe even the solo triple she lost so much time. Glad she's not injured.

Too bad about the fall by Sonja, good thing they let her start over, but the whole time I kept thinking of Oksana Baiul because this music "The Feeling Begins" is synonymous of her pro. program imho. Good job. :)

Gilles: fell on her combo and her solo triple. Landed the 2A. Lifeless program

Score: 41.02

Darn, I really like Alexe Gilles, too bad about the fall on two of the jumps because I recall she jumps just like Agnes! Pink looks lovely on her, but she's such a tall statesque beauty that I wish her music & costumes would accentuate that fact. No more of this junior type music. Imho she's America's answer to Finland's Kiira Korpi. :)

Better luck next time, Alexe!
