ashley, great program, i like the music cuts, the pacing, the intensity overall. the dress is nice, too. the 3-3 is to come then? this is very good for first GP.

and it wasn't necessary for them to declare that the top score is currently such and such... as if they're milking for effect... look how far the US champ outpaces the field.

that, and i hate commentary in general

Ashley wasn't perfect, but the program suits her. I really liked it, looks like a good season for her :)

And now Adelina, go girl!!

Not a fantastic skate for Ashley. Honestly a bit surprised by how high she score is. Very solid though, lots of personality. Really fights for everything, I have lots of admiration for her.

I couldn't agree more - I really, really like this program. Can't see where a 3-3 is going to go unless she takes out the 'tano-toe' to make it a triple. But really this program has many nice features include the split jump or falling leaf? out of her double axel. and i love, love the music cuts.

Adelina is GORGEOUS. Love the program. Just sublime in every way. Shame about the hesitation on the flip. Just beautiful.

Adelina looks so nervous out there. I wish she could calm down a bit.

i adore adelina, but i feel she could do more with better choreography. when she's on, her charm makes up for it... wait, was she really better than c. gao? 0_o

What a shame... That flip!! :bang: nice program and steps, though... 58 is quite good!

I really love the height she gets on her jumps and the really, to me, beautiful leg positions...too bad about popping the flip. But nice program, i'll look forward to seeing it again.

Adelina in terms of potential is my favorite of all the up and comers. I love her combination of big skating (big jumps, big speed etc) but then add in beautiful skating (positions) spins. Fab skater. She just needs to learn how to handle the pressure...

The other youngsters are nice but Gold may have big jumps (but no where near the spins/elegance)... Tukt/Julia nice jumps but no where near the bigness.

Nothing special from helgesson, the jazz music doesn't suit her at all!
