Makarova looks so skinny now, not helping her jumps though
shelepen constantly doing 3lz-3lo
And nice ones! Better looking than Sotnikova's when she was a junior! I hope she lands that combo in the competition.
I missed Liza, how did she skate? I saw a 3Lz-3T after the program but I don't know if it was rotated
Gee..I'm still recovering from Carmen..I'm so enamored with the look of this , I can hardly stand it.
Aliona and Robin did Bolero without any elements. Not sure what to think of it.
After watching both practice of ladies, I think Gold and Osmond both look very strong. These two will probably medal if they don't bomb. Shelepen skated better than I expected. Maybe she and her new coach just needed time for adaptation, but both were criticized cruelly. I think she may surprise us. Liza has grown up really. She gain weight I suppose. And she looked so tired, didn't catch any smile from her dead-looking face. I hope she is ok. Makarova looks better than last season. Japanese ladies didn't look so strong. Especially Akiko wasn't that I expected. But these were just practice of course. Overall, I can say that this is going to be a stronger competition than SA.
I was thinking the same thing Mrs. P! I couldn't believe how strong the performances from the ladies were at SKAM. Especially considering how lackluster the ladies have been in recent years. If Skate Canada is going to be even better we're in for a treat.
