Awesome score for Alissa!! I could barely see anything with the choppy feed, so I'm really looking forward to actually seeing the program.

My feed was terrible too so I stopped watching. So happy for Alissa and kudos to Caroline Z for much improved skating.

People, you really need to stop doubting Alissa. She's improving her jump technique. She's upping her technical game. She's bringing back the salchow. She's conquering her nerves. She's fine. She's awesome, she's graceful and lovely and will win worlds.

So there.

Also, Carolina was terrific despite the error in the step sequence. Love that she went for the triple triple. 60.23

I'm so glad the top 2 are Alissa and Carolina because they are clearly the class of this field. Can't wait to watch their performances and best of luck to them in the LP! :)

Thanks for the link. That particular "La Vie en Rose" starts out with music from "Sabrina" - the Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond version. I like the role for Alissa. She has Audrey Hepburn's looks (particularly the neck) and Julia Ormond's reserved charm.

Heh. Alissa has skated to Sabrina before, back in 2006-2007. I liked her Sabrina program very much.

Her new SP is a perfect fit for her, too, and the step sequence was particularly well-choreographed.

Protocols

Czisny: Edge call on the flip (-1 and -2s), level fours on all spins with insane GOEs to match.
Kostner: Lost on GOEs compared to Czisny. Her jumps got her more points, but Czisny devoured her on spins
Zhang: NO URs or DGs!!!!!
Imai: Ur'ed the 2A, would've been third otherwise
Makarova: Got hit hard. Ur'ed the loop combo, and because it was with a single toe, mandatory -3's.
Marchei/Gedevanishvili: Ditto

Recalling: Rules are a solo triple out of steps and a triple triple/double combo. If you don't do either of those things, mandatory -3 GOE. The only benefit to adding the double toe to the double jump (like Gedevanishvili did) or a single toe to the triple (a la Makarova) is to boost up the base value.

^^For some reason Caroline Z program has not been uploaded. Strange all of the other ladies are up.

Caro's program was lovely. A few bobbles and I believe she finished after the music, but overall I thought it was great.
